You Sir, are a hero! My PS4 has gone from jet trying to take off to tame quiet appliance and I can finally play through Ghost of Tsushima without my PS4 threatening harakiri. 10/10.
Just got mine done today. Red Dead redemption 2, ghost of Tsushima and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was literally like being inside an engine. Loud as hell. Now its silent.
I cant believe that this video is 2 YEARS OLD for me and its the best video for this I’ve ever seen, just wanted to say a big thank you and that this has helped me out so so so much. 👍🏼
I need Help I cleaned my ps4 out everything I seen you do I just ordered thermal paste but I realize that I don’t hear that fan at all like Everything absolute quiet and it still over heat does that mean my Ps4 CPU fan has to be replaced I need feedback ASAP please
I just did this, minus the fan replacement, and my PS4 is running as quiet as when I first got it when it came out. Fantastic video, thank you so much!
@@vicioustea1252 this video, and the older one from 2 years ago, really helped. 9 months ago I cleaned the heat sink, was good until yesterday; this time I also replaced the Thermal Paste. Gotta last until the PS5 comes out!
So... this is my husband's old PS4! The Witcher sticker (right down to the bubble in it from not applying it properly) is in the EXACT same place. We took it to a shop in Ohio who couldn't fix it, so we requested they dispose of it for us and we bought a new console. We're in the middle of cleaning out my console, and that's how he stumbled across this video. SO WEIRD to see our playstation on RUclips! But hey! If it helps someone, then we're all for it. Note: this could be someone else's PS4... but we are both about 98% sure this was our old one! The sticker, timing and model all line up!
I need Help I cleaned my ps4 out everything I seen you do I just ordered thermal paste but I realize that I don’t hear that fan at all like Everything absolute quiet and it still over heat does that mean my Ps4 CPU fan has to be replaced I need feedback ASAP please
I Cleaned My Fan And My Ps4 Still OverHeated Then I Ordered Thermal Paste And It Did The Job I Recomend Cleaning Fan And Heat Sink And Replacing The Thermal Paste And Your Ps4 Will Work Perfect No Noise
@@jasonirizarry6851 less than you think and be careful about spreading as paste like Arctic Silver, although one of the best thermal conductors, is also a great electrical conductor. So don't get any on the board. I recommend to clients and beginners to use Arctic Ceramique 2 as it's not electrically conductive. This works great and the difference in temp is negligible.
Followed this tutorial to the letter and my ps4 is running perfectly again. Thanks!! Also WARNING: I didn't see you put back in the screws that you take out at 12:39 - 12:50 so don't miss that when you're putting everything back together!
I've had the original ps4 for years and it recently started overheating and shutting down. After hours of searching on RUclips and trying different solutions on how to fix this issue I came upon this video. I followed every step and bought the artic thermal paste that was recommended in the video and it worked! The inside of my ps4 was a bit different than the one in the video, but the instructions still applied and worked! Thanks for the video!
I’m not sure what just happened but I had a PS4 that was overheating and couldn’t do anything I was going to throw it out instead I followed your instructions replaced the thermal paste cleaned out the fan etc and now it runs silently and everything seems to be working fine I am literally in shock thank you for an excellent and helpful video
Hi fasttech, thank you for doing this. I followed your guide and now feel happy about my ps4. I cleaned the fan, heatsink and used thermal paste. My ps4 on certain open world games does use a different load out and thanks to your guide I no longer worry about the system over heating, thank you again.
Nice vid...This is the best tear down and assembly video on the PS4 I've seen..I will reference this video when i clean my PS4..I just got done cleaning and applying thermal paste to my Xbox one X..That thing was super easy to take apart...The PS4 looks like it will be easy too....
Followed the steps and it saved me a ton of money!! My fan used to sound like a fighter jet and ps4 would overheat every 10 mins and shut itself off. Now?? Quiet as a mouse and can be on all day with no issues!!
This is the best video ever, my ps4 is doing the same yesterday i took it to the office and put it into a server room which is very cold and it runs smoothly. Now i did i apply a thermal paste took it home it overheating again and the fan it seized now am 100% sure it need fan replacement. Thanks bro for the video it help me a lot with the knowledge
Thank you for the step by step break down. I ordered parts from fasttech and they were delivered fast plus with the video here I was able to stop flight sony from taking off! Quiet, smooth, happy customer. I'll take it for a couple hours tomorrow but the 2 hours today are great! Plus I saved Money and learned all at the same time! Win Win Win!
I have to say, thank you for pointing this all out from the beginning to the end because I’m at the process of cleaning off the cpu and apply new thermal paste for this console I have for over 6 years. Now I can play with a quiet system and hoping for more tutorials for future videos for the PS5/XBOX Series/Nintendo Switch/ETC. Once again thank you so much for the video
I removed my fan and cleaned it with a paint brush. Paint brush removed most of the dust. You also need to clean dust out of the CPU condenser. Cleaning it fixed mine. No need to replace the fan unless it don't work.
I'm stunned, did this today to a PS4 I bought for cheap, the console was sounding like a Turbo Charged Skyline. I did not have to change my fan which was a Bonus but oddly enough when I turned it on I was stunned. She was dead silent. Thank You mate.
TEST: Cleaned my whole entire PS4's dust inside & out, only to find out *THERMAL PASTE* was the key i didn't have.. until I went to the store and got some.. Thank you so much; i bought Arctic Silver 5 No more airplanes.
Thanks for this video. I was able to clean my PS4 and add some thermal paste it made such a difference! It doesn't sound like it's taking off for space anymore
Thank you so much for the video. I have a 2014 PS4 500gb model, fan was not working and the console was shutting down due to overheating, replaced the fan and thermal paste. Now it's working perfectly 🙂, saved a lot of money.
Yes. The fan will get clogged up with dust and that damages the fan. It's best to replace both the fan and thermal paste while cleaning any dust under the power brick and motherboard. The fan needs to move freely and effortlessly when it operates to work properly.
Good video. I have my PS4 for 4 years now and as of lastweek it seems to get overheated fast till lastnight it still turns on but no signal screen and I get a flashing pink looking screen time to time with the top right of my tv on the black screen saying DV13 1920×1080 the the fan dont spin normal like I know it should can I get help please?
My PlayStation sounds exactly like this one so my fan is definitely in need of replacing. Problem is I’m in the U.K. and they’re all sold out 😭 everyone must be having the same problem as me right now
You didn't seem to mention how you got the little wire connected to the motherboard from the fan at 11:35. I ended up having the wire ripped off because you forgot to mention it. But it has been resolved by using a thin object to push them back in place. Other than that I followed the instructions but I don't have the thermal paste yet, guessing that will stop the ps4 from overheating as now the ps4 turns off from overheating a few seconds after turning on even when the fan is working.
hey, i cleaned my ps4 very well just like in the video but when i turn it on and run a game it shuts down like 20-30 seconds later, which leads me to believe that something is not working right in the cooling systen or something like that, the fan works very well. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Awesome video. Thank you! But 2 x questions please. 1. Can you put extra thermal paste to increase it's effect? 2. What is the absolute best thermal paste for the PS4's? Thanks again.
Thank you. Extra thermal paste will be detrimental. The right amount is just enough to cover the surface. We recommend arctic silver 5 or thermal grizzly both which we sell on our website at www.fasttechstore.com Hope that helps
Great help but you should also let others know be careful when disassembling because when I did I accidentally broke the WiFi antenna. So although I successfully replaced the fan now I need to replace the WiFi antenna. Smh..... minor sacrifice for doing it for the first time and saving money on someone else repairing. Thank you for your videos.
The dust and the dry termal paste is surely a problem, but man if you kepp your ps4 standing without the proper stand you cover the fan vents and the ps4 will overheat anyway.
Same here, and I also replaced the fan, and thermal pads on the graphics RAM.. I then took out the hard drive and reformatted it on my PC then reinstalled the PlayStation software and reinstalled modern warfare, but the game still won’t load and PlayStation runs slow and still gets hot… not sure what to do next 😂
Spilling any kind of liquid in an electronic device can be catastrophic. You might not see symptoms right away but over the weeks and months corrosion will form on the circuit board and cause big problems. Since your post is a year old I imagine you are seeing symptoms by now unless you cleaned it out right away. Would be interested to know.
@@alienunleashed Vodka and fizzy drinks are not the same type of liquid. Vodka is the best kind of liquid you can spill in or on an electronics device since it evaporates quicker than pure water and actually has cleaning properties like medical grade rubbing alcohol. Fizzy drinks/pop or soda has sugars that can be extremely corrosive over time.
Symptoms that caused the problems were. (Over heating , shutting down , unable to play games , loud fan ) . The fan dint seem as broke as the one in the video however I changed it an the thermal paste an the system runs like new !
You have it wiggle it side to side while you gently pull it back. The part that connects is more like a cartridge and not the entire connection if that makes sense. You'll see it start to slide out after wiggling it around a couple of times.
Fasttech I need help my ps4 turned on but now it started blinking blue I opened it back up and I have to hold down the motherboard hard to have it turn on
thank you so much my dude, my console was sounding like a jet even when watching netflix or youtube but now it stays silent, the noise only starts when i play some heavier games but waaaaay quieter than before;
bro thankx man my 2 ps4 are running like new NO noice at all! they dont turn off anymore due to overheating , thank you again! most detail video that i have seen
Hello mate! I had opened up my ps4 and changed my thermal past for not any reason.. My ps4 was running well just cleaned the dust inside and i said that to change the thermal past aswell.. I've had cleaned the old past.. And i applied the new past on.. And i think i put way to much on, on both sides.. And now my fan comes every few minutes very loud for 20-30 secs then normal again.. Can u help me whit that please? Hope your answering my question. Thanks
Used this video to fix my ps4, gotta say there were a few things I needed to figure out on my own that were not covered in the video. But did in fact fix my ps4, thanks!
I replaced the thermal paste cleaned most of the dust out, and my fan is still really loud and it says it's overheating. Should I replace the fan or is something else wrong with my PS4?
instructions unclear: my APU has a swiss army knife stuck in it now.. lmao jk bro this is a SOLID video for tear down and a thorough deep clean! also, a side note from reading comments is that a lot of people don't actually know the purpose of thermal paste/compound. With that being said thermal paste is there to create a CONDUCTIVE THERMAL BOND BETWEEN a CPU/APU and a heatsink. So, for all those people asking if "they really need thermal paste" the answer is YES. Dont be the guy that fries your processor because you skipped out on $5 thermal compound. *end rant*
I need Help I cleaned my ps4 out everything I seen you do I just ordered thermal paste but I realize that I don’t hear that fan at all like Everything absolute quiet and it still over heat does that mean my Ps4 CPU fan has to be replaced I need feedback ASAP please
You are a legend bro my problem ended up being the thermal paste but I cleaned the fan, heat sink & applied new thermal paste now my PS4 doesn’t make a noise & if I ever have a problem I know exactly what to do & I have the materials to do so if you guys are scared don’t be I was afraid at first because I love my console but just be gentle, patient & follow the directions again thank you
Great Video...but I noticed you didnt replace the thermal paste on the other chips...When I took mine apart, all the chips had thermal paste (the ones surrounding the main processor)...I gave all of them a good coating and no issues.
Finally I was looking for a video like this, but a question though, this is the first time that I see thermal paste being spread, I'm an engineer and assembled several personal PCs and even teachers told me that deposit a small amount of thermal paste onto the CPU and close and it will spread evenly by itself, never to touch it or spread it before, so my question is if is this normal practice or something you just do when replacing thermal paste, thanks in advance my friend.

Thx man this saved me alot of money, my ps4 doesn't overheat anymore :)
8:42 how did u pull that wire? Mine won't get off and I feel like I'm gonna break it.
Grab all the wires with your fingers and just pull,probably not helpful since you asked this a week ago but you never know
@@danivanneira I managed to do it thx tho
Did either of you find a good fan I'm looking for a site to buy one
Was thinking the same thing, how do?
@@danboyy8573 so did you just pull all the cables with your fingers?
Great help but you should also let others know be careful when disassembling because when I did I accidentally broke the WiFi antenna. So although I successfully replaced the fan now I need to replace the WiFi antenna. Smh..... minor sacrifice for doing it for the first time and saving money on someone else repairing. Thank you for your videos.
The dust and the dry termal paste is surely a problem, but man if you kepp your ps4 standing without the proper stand you cover the fan vents and the ps4 will overheat anyway.
i got mine cleaned new fan and thermal paste but still kinda loud when playing certain games
Same here, and I also replaced the fan, and thermal pads on the graphics RAM.. I then took out the hard drive and reformatted it on my PC then reinstalled the PlayStation software and reinstalled modern warfare, but the game still won’t load and PlayStation runs slow and still gets hot… not sure what to do next 😂
I know this is an old video, but thank you for not applying 3 pounds of thermal paste to this
Mine doesnt give a message it just turns off after a few minutes is it because the thermal paste is worn out
Yes
Thank you so much I took off the old thermal paste thinking it was corrosion so now I need thermal paste to reapply
I spilt fizzy drink on mine how does that effect it???
Noellikes beanzz As long as it’s minimal you’re fine after a few days I spilt vodka on mine and old timer works like a charm
Spilling any kind of liquid in an electronic device can be catastrophic. You might not see symptoms right away but over the weeks and months corrosion will form on the circuit board and cause big problems. Since your post is a year old I imagine you are seeing symptoms by now unless you cleaned it out right away. Would be interested to know.
@@alienunleashed Vodka and fizzy drinks are not the same type of liquid. Vodka is the best kind of liquid you can spill in or on an electronics device since it evaporates quicker than pure water and actually has cleaning properties like medical grade rubbing alcohol. Fizzy drinks/pop or soda has sugars that can be extremely corrosive over time.
I recently opened it up and there were minor marks near the power spply
dont forget about the 3 screws left over, from the heat shield that you didn't put back in
Amazing. 100% works
Awesome video watched this then did my own manual replaces of all the components! Got my fan an thermal paste , everything went great 👍 🙌
Symptoms that caused the problems were. (Over heating , shutting down , unable to play games , loud fan ) . The fan dint seem as broke as the one in the video however I changed it an the thermal paste an the system runs like new !
Awesome. Like the video and subscribe 😊
I cant get my power supply cable out, it feels like theres glue
You have it wiggle it side to side while you gently pull it back. The part that connects is more like a cartridge and not the entire connection if that makes sense. You'll see it start to slide out after wiggling it around a couple of times.
Thanks fixed mine today best video out there for ps4 fan replacement
Every time I spin my fan it vibrates
That's because of dust build up
Or your bearing is broken
Check to see if any of the blades on the fan are broken. Due to the high RPM the fan spins at any unevenness in weight can cause major vibration.
Fasttech I need help my ps4 turned on but now it started blinking blue I opened it back up and I have to hold down the motherboard hard to have it turn on
thank you so much my dude, my console was sounding like a jet even when watching netflix or youtube but now it stays silent, the noise only starts when i play some heavier games but waaaaay quieter than before;

LETS FUCKING GO IM SO HAPPY U MADE THIS CAUSE MY FAN COMES IN TOMMROW SO I DONT TO WORRY ABOUT MY PS4 turning off when I hop on a game 🤝👏👏👏👏🔥
I replaced the thermal paste cleaned most of the dust out, and my fan is still really loud and it says it's overheating. Should I replace the fan or is something else wrong with my PS4?
CEO Of CEO'S Replace your fan.
Thank you sooooo much for this video ! Followed it thru and thru and it fixed my ps4 over heating !
From one Canadian to another thank you. You're doing the lords work ^_^
Thank you eh. Please like my video and subscribe eh. Thanks and sorry.
instructions unclear: my APU has a swiss army knife stuck in it now.. lmao jk bro this is a SOLID video for tear down and a thorough deep clean! also, a side note from reading comments is that a lot of people don't actually know the purpose of thermal paste/compound. With that being said thermal paste is there to create a CONDUCTIVE THERMAL BOND BETWEEN a CPU/APU and a heatsink. So, for all those people asking if "they really need thermal paste" the answer is YES. Dont be the guy that fries your processor because you skipped out on $5 thermal compound. *end rant*
Gotchu but does the thermal paste have do with my fan still being loud
I did this today and it worked. Thank you so much for the great tutorial.
I need Help I cleaned my ps4 out everything I seen you do I just ordered thermal paste but I realize that I don’t hear that fan at all like Everything absolute quiet and it still over heat does that mean my Ps4 CPU fan has to be replaced I need feedback ASAP please
Does anyone else know another site to get fans for a lower price?
Can i replace my ps4 fan cuh-1106A with a cuh-1100 series fan? Tryna fixit myself cause it doesn't spin anymore.
You are a legend bro my problem ended up being the thermal paste but I cleaned the fan, heat sink & applied new thermal paste now my PS4 doesn’t make a noise & if I ever have a problem I know exactly what to do & I have the materials to do so if you guys are scared don’t be I was afraid at first because I love my console but just be gentle, patient & follow the directions again thank you
Great Video...but I noticed you didnt replace the thermal paste on the other chips...When I took mine apart, all the chips had thermal paste (the ones surrounding the main processor)...I gave all of them a good coating and no issues.
i thought im the only one who is always left with extra screws after re-assembly now i know ur also in the league🤣🤣
They are from the heatsink. Sorry
Finally I was looking for a video like this, but a question though, this is the first time that I see thermal paste being spread, I'm an engineer and assembled several personal PCs and even teachers told me that deposit a small amount of thermal paste onto the CPU and close and it will spread evenly by itself, never to touch it or spread it before, so my question is if is this normal practice or something you just do when replacing thermal paste, thanks in advance my friend.
