PS4 Overheating Repair Tips - How to Fix Loud PS4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- PS4 overheating repair tips from a professional. We take a look at the inside of a PS4 to see what all needs to be cleaned to help a PS4 run cooler.
►My Favorite Tools: www.amazon.com...
We explain how the 10xx and 11xx models of PS4 run hotter and the fan runs louder than people think it should. Some of the things that commonly cause a PS4 to overheat are:
-The cooling fan
-Dried out thermal paste
-A PS4 that has been assembled incorrectly
-A very dirty PS4
A PS4 that is actually overheating will: Beep loudly, turn on the red light (where the white light normally is) and then shut down. Many people think their console is overheating just because it feels hot and it's loud...but that's not overheating.
We start with a PS4 that has been partially disassembled then we remove the metal plate with the heat sink attached to it. We then show how to clean the heat sink fins properly...something that most people miss. We then explain and show how to remove and clean the cooling fan.
The video wraps up by showing how to put the parts back in that were removed.

I kept mine on window ledge with window open, until neighbours complained, and local airport took me to court as the pilots couldn't concentrate when testing the jet engines. so I took it apart and now run my 12 room central heating radiotors off it. It's that loud, I'm colour-blind from it
ScoopDogg1867 dawg I peed myself reading this lmao
lmao hahahhaaa
Fu sho bro!
Dude can you turn your PS4 off it keeps me awake here in the UK. SMH.
I feel your pain 😂
Watching this is 2020! Hilarious how much better you have gotten at presenting over the years!
My damn ps4 overheats like 10mins into a game.
Same
omg same i cant play anything
Lol mine does as soon as i start up a game
@@ramus93 me to bro
@@charitemenelas5574 Have you found any solutions? Mine randomly did this yesterday and now I can't play for more than 5 min.
Thanks for this video! I assembled and reassembled my son's PS4 3 times and needed this video to help me. 1 can of spray air and fresh thermal paste and it is now SILENT and not overheating. Thanks so much!
What brand spray air did you use and what brand thermal paste did you use?
@@excitedaboutlearning1639 used some air can from Walmart and used mx 4 ps4 is way quieter
@@excitedaboutlearning1639 I used Arctic MX-4 Thermal Compound and generic spray air. Good luck!
Hey Steve, just want to say thanks for your videos. My ps4 Pro was over heating and from watching your videos I got the confidence to do the full teardown, replace thermal pads and paste and clean the heat sink.... The ps4 Pro looked clean right up until the heat sink came out... Then, wow... Like a curtain of dust across the fan side... Now it runs like its not even on. So thanks! And to everyone not sure they can do this job you can! , just follow it step by step and have right tools... Mainly torx 8 security screwdriver
I’m here because you broke something 👍😍
my ps4 gives me a warning saying to turn off the ps4 because its to hot
one day same here
ya i fixed it by cleaning it and rebootingbit
Same dude
Same
How you cleaned it?
Just a suggestion, after cleaned out might be good to post the performance before and after the repairs so we can get a better visual of the improvement the repairs made.
For real
I got y’all Thursday
Agreed for all we know that machine may never have worked again.
Your T-shirt LOL.
MGOFor3ver 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG HAHAHAHA
😂😂
I need to cop
I thought it said im here because your broke
Just took the plunge to fix my sons PS4 Pro that had started to sound like a light aircraft taking off.... tbh I thought I would break it, loose a screw or snap something.... following your videos I managed to strip it down, clean out the heatsink and put it all back together in under an hour.... afterwards I couldn’t believe that it actually turned on!!! And it’s god damn silent!!!
How satisfying!!
Amazing guides thanks so much!
I'm about to do the same. So tired of listening to the loudness from it.
@@kronicbabe2145 it was a success, 9 months on and it’s still working….and no excess noise. Good Luck!
From the red ring of death to the red line of death
Love it
When I start playing any game, my fan instantly becomes loud. Is that bad and what should I do.
Kaiheps its not bad, its normal, but try keep it on a flat smooth surface and not enclosed in a tv cabinet etc. Just vacuum the vents as much as you can
Get a small fan, put it right behind the glossy part of the PS4 (left side). It'll help suck air out of your PS4
Its dust clean it
Kaiheps same
do you think it is enough if you clean only the fan with a compressed gas? or should i take it totaly apart ?: ) it wasnt much dust on the fan
When I open my ps4 and open a game fan sounds so loud qnd then after 15 min it shutdown is this the same problem
I love your content man. Its insane how much youve opened up and grown compared to this bare bones video. Thank you for sharing what you love & doing what you do. ❤
There is another possibility that we all should take note.
APU of the PS4 can be bulging and not flat as it should be. This reduced further the thermal transfer rate to the heatsink and potentially overheat below its official ambient temperature max. tolerance.
Look out that bulging Apu when you have the chance to disassemble it for replacing the thermal paste, the bios battery and general cleaning.
5:15 “so we can get straight into the video” commonn
🤣🤣🤣
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
Hi i have problem when i start my ps4 within few i get notifications that my PS4 is overheating than beep sounds comes and it switches off wt should i do
same exact issue, just that I cleaned and applied thermal paste and still can't run games properly
same here
when I play my ps4 in like 5 minutes flashing static will come up on my screen. there is multiple lines and they flash a lot. I need help comment if you know how to fix
My PS4 was showing the red light of death. Plus it gets loud when i turn on an app.
It's overheating
my ps4 keeps overheating and shutting off everytime I turn it on could you be able to fix that in a few days
Yes we can fix that for you: www.tronicsfix.com/store/p56/PS4_Overheating_Repair.html
if someone has the same problem and reads this, it was the same for me and I just had to tighten my screws so that the thermal paste worked at all, then it worked again. Sorry for my English
@@steazy8713 I tried that when this problem occurred and even bought a new fan but to no avail. I ended up having to buy a new system
thank you for doing this video. i was able to fix my overheating ps4....
Great! Glad you were able to fix it!
What did you do?
@@Thomas_RT13 i just replaced the thermal paste and cleaned it up
@@grandsmo23 started working better after
I know this video is old, but I might as well toss the question anyway. Right now my PS4 has an issue wherein it just turns off/crashes. What I mean is it'll happen without warning where the picture on screen will just start flickering black, lose signal, then the console will beep and finally turn off. Is it overheating? is it just dirty (haven't opened it up at all), or is it a goner at this point?
Yurt Silent this is my problem too do u have the original ps4
Same I have original model 500gb
Same, anyone found a fix ? Tempted to try the thermal paste replacement
ItchyBaz nobodys active here this vid is really old i have the original fat ps4 can't play any games but can be a netflix all day idk i really need help plz tell me if u fix
My fan was silent and dies every 2 min
Diamondonut mine was 2
Same now
Diamondonut mine used to
Same
Diamondonut same if I tried to clean it out I'll break it
The only guy who I trust to tell me how to fix my console
Pretty nasty buildup of lint in my heat sink basin you showed. Thanks for highlighting that area! I'm going to apply a new portion of thermal paste and hopefully, she'll stop shutting down every time I try to explore the universe in No Mans Sky. Any preferences to thermal paste or will anything do the trick?
Quick question.
I got a pop up message in the middle of a game, saying: 'your ps4 is overheating. Turn it off to cool it down'. How concerning is that, compared to the overheating you explained in the video?
that is what he means by overheating
@@anthony8691 Yeah, but it didn't auto shut down
Jimmy Nielsen Did you shut it off manually. It took about 2 minutes for mine to auto shutdown after I got the pop up
@@anthony8691 Yeah I did. I also played like 15 minutes more after the pop up, before I decided to shut it down
You found a fix same happening to me
Thanks. Got mine fixed within in couple hours it was the thermal paste
Sam Taylor m8 were you getting a msg during gameplay saying ps4 is too hot and than red line appears till shutting down ?!
Do u know what type of screwdriver u need to open up the ps4
Hey what is the thermal paste
Venalityy i’m super late but you need a torx screwdriver
How much do you think it cost to do a deep clean and thermal paste change?
my young brother had putten a coin inside the ps4 in the disk side how can we take the coin from it plz can u help me
Take it apart. and take the disc reader out. The coin should fall out from there. If not disassemble the disk reader
My ps4 is still overheating at random times after a good cleaning and new paste. It seems like certain activities in game cause it to overheat and go to the warning screen because if I back out and go to main menu the red light turns off. Any ideas for a solution would be awesome
When i log in a game it over heats
same here it sucks
thanks, cleaned mine and didn't clean the heat sink so no change what so ever this vid really helped, because the heat sink was totally blocked with dust and the obvious cause of the overheating. top man much appreciated.
After doing a washer fix from my PS4 from turning off and on and finally getting it to work I ran a game and it just went straight into overheating and shut itself off. Should I just send it away for repairs, Or just get a new one?
Get a new one.
Get a Torx T8 Security Tamper Proof screwdriver and open it up, and clean out all the dust near the hardrives and most importantly the fan
I’ve done everything.. I’ve cleaned out all the dust, did a full initialization, changed the thermal paste, and still overheating, I am about to throw this thing out the damn window
Save up for the pro
Michael Villa LoL my pro does it
so...did you manage to repair it?
whenever i turn on my ps4 i hear a clicking noise from where the fan is and then about 2 min later it over heats. its been 5 months and i dont know whats wrong with it. ive cleaned out the fan but i dont know what else is the problem.
same
Thermal paste can be the problem
OreoInMilk you need to change the fan
Thank You so much. After having the red light problem for about 6 months not been able to use my ps4.
Finally i saw ur fix video and followed every instruction.
Now it works perfectly fine.
Thanks Again.
It first used to just blink the blue light than goes off without turning fan on. But after i changed the Power Supply adapter. It kept blinking the blue light than finally red than off it goes with the fan turning on this time..
Than i released the problem was the power adapter and the heat sink too.
After ur video.
Glad this helped!
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
Hosamovic164 ugh
Like a trucker.
Beep beep beep every 20 minutes
I'm literally about to shoot my ps4 because of that annoying sound, I'm just trying to play Ghost of Tsushima since I just got it today, but it keeps shutting down not even 10 minutes into the first part.
2 PS4's I've had, were fixed by completely opening them following ifixit's guide (Fan replacement guide), and when i saw the thermal paste, it was thick, dry and gloopy and didn't seem very conductive. Replaced it with NT-H1 paste and got it back together, I never even heard the fans again. I don't understand why Sony skimped out on such a cheap thermal paste.
I can't even play it beeps 3 times and turns off
Xx_SÜICÏDE_ØPPS_xX same
Seniku Moonjewel 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😂☠️💀💀☠️☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most likely the thermal paste takes likes 10 minutes
Don't put your ps4 in direct sunlight or by a vent register. The sun depending were you live can cause it too over heat the vent register will kick up dust every time the furnace comes on and that can make your console very dirty inside. Just some tips there.
Thanks man, now I know what the problems is (the fan). One like. One subscribe 👍
Glad it helped!
my ps4 stopped transmitting video while I was playing with a loud humming sound. had the constant blue light of death for a few days until I opened and tightened the apu down. everything cut back on for about 10-15 min before no video and humming again.
checked the thermal paste, old and crusty; opened and cleaned all that was in this video and reapplied new paste.
my PS4 be having a white light and it cuts off by itself
mines to my PS4 slim wont stay on for more than 5 minutes
Do you know the problem that causes that? i just started having this issue today
Sasuke Uchiha same
My PS4 is making too much noise and if i start up a game i get a massage : your PS4 is too hot ?? And its blinking red ! What do i need to do??
Are you wanting to send it in for repairs?
where did you have the PS4 in an oven?
TronicsFix. I want to email me detail s trewhlmotn@gmail.com
Yunus Akpulat have the same problem cuz what did you do
Yunus Akpulat. True me to every time I play fortnite
How do I send my PS4 in to be looked at and cleaned?
How much do you charge to do everything you just did?
why does my ps4 only overheat and shut of during game play and not while using Hulu or Netflix for hours on end? I think I can clean it out myself but just curious.
gameplay is much more demanding on the console than simply watching Netflix. fix it by taking of the bottom cover, by removing screws in the back, and clean the fan. if you want to go the extra mile replace the thermal paste, use a good quality one like AS5.
Thank you.
ss4goku9695 From what I know, you absolutely cannot do any of this without even replacing the thermal paste.
Jen Halbett my does that too what did u do to fix it if u did?
You just answered your own question LOL It dies while playing video games but not Netflix. You've already figured half of it out, don't stop there.
My ps4 is like a choper about to fly in sky😂😂
Thank you for the tutorial, when I tore mine apart I found that the thermal paste was completely dried out and actually gone from the top of the processor. My PS4 wasn't shutting off and telling me it was over heating until I tore it apart to clean it, so hopefully it is just due to the thermal paste, but I will also be paying attention to the other points you made this time. Plus it doesn't help my machine living in Arizona. Again, thank you...
Glad this video helped!
Mine just started overheating. I could buy a new system but I'll try getting this one fixed as well. I tend to fall asleep while watching Netflix or playing a game and looks like it has finally taken a toll! 😭 I hope you guys can fix it. I will pay for quick shipping as well. Is it possible to like send it in on a Friday and get it back within 7 days? If I pay for the quick shipping?
Hey bro I have the call of duty edition PS4 its totally different from the one u have it in the video. It's getting hot and shuts down what should I do plz help
+Its KJ mee to have same ps4 but till now nothing happnd after 2years
Same:(
jugraj Singh Same :(
Clean it i did now my ps4 doesnt turn off but its still loud
I’ve tried everything take the thing apart cleaned it out , my PS4 is super clean always well taken care of and it still over heats . The only thing left to try is the thermal paste but where can I buy it and how can I do it
Jaydon Willsey just take 75% toothpaste and 25% pretolium jelly and mix then apply on the heat sink only temporary do then buy thermal paste.
When I start a game the console makes a very loud fan noise. I tried opening the console up and cleaning it but that didn't work. Any tips?
Hmmm...There's just no way for me to know without seeing it. I'm assuming you cleaned it good and replaced the thermal paste.
Wow, thanks for this vid. So many times i have taken my PS4 apart and cleaned, applied paste etc, and never once lifted that plate that holds the heat sink. Boy was it dirty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much worse than your example ps4. No wonder it kept overheating. Thanks again!
Yes! That's what most people don't do. Glad you watched this and fixed yours!
Yesterday I clean everything on my ps4 I put much better thermal paste but still it makes a lot of sound can you pls help me? I have ps4 slim and my heat sink is 100% clean
Derrahan im fat
Mine only overheats with certain games. Games like Spider-Man, Dragon Age: Inquisition, sometimes Skyrim (usually after a long time), but not games like Smite, Minecraft, etc. It also doesn't overheat with movies or Netflix. I've heard it has to do with the games themselves. I cleaned out the sides with a can of compressed air. I play in a generally cold room, but this doesn't help either. I'm scared to take it apart because I'm not sure I can properly put it back together. Is there anything I can do?
Keltic MC same mine only overheats when I play horizon zero dawn
If one or more of the little thermal pads goes missing, can you use thermal paste on them or should the pads be replaced?
HFTONE You need thermal pads
Cute dog
i don't have them tools where can I get them my ps4 over heats alot starting to do me head in
My ps4 keeps overheating even when its a cold day in an open space it keeps overheating, even after i cleaned it out it dosent fking stop pls help
What all did you clean?
TronicsFix the fan
You probably have a plugged heat sink.
What's a plugged heat sink
gamer127 i still need help man
Mine says "too hot cool down " (warning sign) , I think I need to clean it ..
So do I take the ps4 apart then clean it or what????
Fan problem? Or CPU overheat, try to clean it, probably dusty
I opened up the PS4 to clean up the fan and everything and as soon as I turn it on, after 5 min it turns red and shuts off. I don't know what to do at this point should I go somewhere to get it fixed or get a new one?
It's just overheating...let's not get to excited here, there's no need to buy a new one when you have one that's perfectly fixable.
RazrProjec
thanks You Tronics tour videos helped me, needed to do a serious cleaning of my PS4 and solve fan noise problem. You are very clear explaining. Best regards
Ps4 yay I fixed. Me yay I can play the ps4
I cleaned mine out but it still shuts off. I literally can't play any game for more than 5 minutes. I heard that it takes in air from the front and sides and out the back so it's literally almost hanging out my window but that doesn't help.. was thinking of getting a fan and pointing it at my PS4? Or should I just get a PS4 Pro? Was also thinking to get a white one? Since black stuff gets hot quicker right?
I'm just now starting to get these overheating warnings...after watching this video, I'm sure it's due to a bunch of dust on the inside. I'll turn on my PS4 & it won't even be an hour yet when I start getting the warnings so the PS4 is never really hot to the touch. However, I don't wanna open this up myself as I fear I'll just mess up the internals
You can always send it in for repairs: www.tronicsfix.com/store/p56/PS4_Overheating_Repair.html
Thanks man these tips worked perfectly my system no longer runs loud
what if my PS4 makes no noise at all?
perfect
Preston Sasso omg i cracked up so hard😂😂😂
Hahah
This is a common issue with older ps4 models. Take your playstation outside. Go start your car and pop the hood. Get your jumper cables and attach the red cable to the positive terminal (the side with the "+" on it). Then connect the black cable to the negative terminal (this side will be marked with a "-" sign). Now attach each cable to the corresponding ear. Have a friend hit the gas a few times while you hold the ps4 with both hands.
Should run like it's fresh outta the factory! Good luck and be sure you record a video to post on youtube to assist anyone else who may encounter a similar issue! Hope this helps!!
My PS4 cannot function with ambient temperatures above 35c/95f and all RAM and GPU-heavy games overheat the console after a few minutes of gameplay.
The top cover gets very hot even without having a game on and the exhaust expells very hot air.
I am very afraid to disassemble the console because of the fragile connectors and my older brother refuses to send the console to an expert because of his belief that they will either break the console or not fix it at all.
my controller turned red and not my actual playstation 4
That's fine, just means what user ur logged into, it can be green, red, pink, blue
U r a dumb bastardized

+TronicsFix LLC what does it mean if my ps4 pops up its too hot to turn it off and let it cool down goes red I turned it off didn't turn it back on until today(this happened yesterday) it turned on normally white light etc but it sounds bad I haven't tried playing anything cause I was afraid of damaging it, it sound like this....it revs then pauses then revs again...then pauses then revs again and keeps doing that
+BEINBE it's a launch ps4
My fan wasnt working on my ps4 and it was over heating so i pulled the fan out of one of my ps3s and with some modifications it now works great no more overheating issues
Mine is loud and feels hot...is it overheating?
Tim Bentvelzen yep
I did everything you did but every time I go to start up a game it hits the main menu for the game then shuts off with the display message saying it’s too hot And it’s not even hot please help me
im mad how bout PS4 TOO COLD
I have cleaned my ps4 slim and applied new thermal paste and also installed a new hard drive but the fan still a bit too loud
Mines over heats a lil while after trying to start up a game but I could watch RUclips in the media app 😕
I took it apart an cleaned it. But now when am about to play a game the fan turns on an gets louder an louder an i get a message that says it overheating an turns off? What can I do?
My ps4 was making grinding noises, so I ordered a new fan. Took ps4 apart, installed the new fan also put new thermal paste on And now my ps4 keeps getting overheat warning. Didn't have this problem with the noisy fan before.... I don't get it..
Will T your PS4 model?
Original ps4 from 2013. Idk which model> Turns out the Fan I ordered was bad. Ps4 would overheat because the fan wasn't spinning...
Will T did you put in a new fan ??
Yes, but for some reason the new fan was bad... a brand new fan._. So I put my old noisy fan back in, spins no problem... Waiting for another new fan, hopefully it works this time...
Mines show a blue screen saying your PS4 is over heating restart when finished
So my ps4 makes a really loud buzzing noise sometimes when I turn it on, and when I play games the noise will get louder and gradually decrese. Today I turned it on and tried to download an update then the system shut off due to overheating. Do you think this is a fan problem?
Definitely could be.
My ps4 beeps 3 times but the light doesn't turn red. The fan feels like its gonna take off after 1min of opening a game and the it turns off after the beeps
Just came across this video because I’m currently experiencing this problem. I’ve noticed my PS4 overheats the most when I play a game downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
I had to do a fix for this problem for the ps3 and it was all because the heatsink tension brackets were no longer bent enough not keeping proper pressure on the heatsink, bend that bracket back out where it teeters a little then screw it back down, no more jet engine sound and shut off
Nice...good fix!
hi, there I change my power supply and my ps4 work fine for at few weeks one day screen star flick and then loud noise fan and immediately turn off after that no play again do you know what can off problem had my ps4 or buy new? thanx for you time to read and answer my post
I have a PS4 got it clean then plugged it in when I don't open any app doesn't make any noise cleaned the heat thing to when I open any app it goes very loud then it pops up a message says its over heating then it just turns off I had the PS4 for 4 years now plz help
"I'm here because you broke something" are you a wizard?.jpg
thanks for the information. Do have a question, does overheating cause "no signal" on tv when hdmi is plugged into tv from ps4?
+Fearless74x No, overheating does not cause that. That would be the HDMI port most likely. They are really weak on PS4's and break easily. We fix lots of those. You can send it in for repair if you'd like: www.tronicsfix.com/store/p21/PS4_HDMI_Port_Repair_.html
+TronicsFix thanks for the insights.
No problem!
I have a normal ps4 )latest model) and i just but a new ps4 pro (7116b) both of my consoles are running nice cool and quiet! I want to ask about this common ps4 apu problem how i can prevent that from happening? is the ps4 pro latest model is safer from this problem? wath can help to prevent this to happen?
What can I do when it already beeps 3 times and does not show anything on the TV. But the TV recognize that something is connected to Hdmi port but still not show anything.
Is the light on the top white?
I had problems with overheating. My PS4 would just stop while playing a game. No beep, no lights. It just stopped.
I took my PS4 apart and changed the thermal paste. Then I put it back together. I followed several youtube tutorials to do this. Everything is connected and seems to be connected as it should be.
Now my PS4 won't power up. I checked all the cables going into the power supply and they seem connected. What could be the problem? Could it be my power supply just died all of the sudden? I've ruled out problems with the power button. There doesn't seem to be any power running through the thing. Even when I try entering a disc it doesn't respond.
I first got the notification of overheating a few weeks ago. I can run Netflix, RUclips and other apps fine. It's when I try to play a game that it overheats, I did take it apart 3 wks back and cleaned it but it still overheats. Gonna try the thermal paste bit and hope that fixes it. Any helpful suggestions?
If you took it apart but didn't replace the thermal paste that's your first problem. If you took it apart but didn't clean both sides of the heat sink that's your second problem.
Me too bro been trying get a fix ever since
My ps4 1100 series after using for over 6 years causes heat up problems. It works fine when put vertically and heats up on horizontal position. What's the cause?
Nice video. Also good to listen to instead of music when gaming
where do i get thermal pastes and thermal pads becausei lost some of mine when i was fixing it i didnt know those were necessary till now
Hey sir I don’t know if you will see this anyway my console turns off by itself cause of high temperature .. i just cleaned everything but i didn't replace the thermal paste it was dried and my fan was rotating smoothly when I spin and it is clean too ... but when I turn on the console the fan doesn't spins ... and the console turns off in seconds .. if i replace the thermal paste does the fan works! or something else??
Do you have a in depths guide to take a ps4 apart? From it completely assembled to the point where I can clean everything? I really don't want to make a mistake.
A lot of people don't know this but if your console is overheating the console it's self will give you a message on screen saying its overheating please turn off something like that so most the time don't worry guys the fans just revving up to cool it down 90% of the time that's normal.
You do not know how much i envy you for having a Torx driver and compressed air at your disposal.
*pain.*
I cleaned my ps4 it works fine the fan works good and quite but if I Choose an application like Call of Duty and RUclips it overheats and does the red light do I need to put new thermal paste ?
