- In this video I share 3 reasons as to why a PlayStation 4 may be overheating, as well as a bonus 3 quick tips that should help fix the problem.
Let me know in the comments if a fan stand works if you already own one, I'm super curious!
Buy the Vertical Stand for PS4 that I bought on Amazon: amzn.to/3gepXIU

I opened mine up and changed the thermal paste of the CPU, now it’s way quieter.
It was surprising because the application of the original thermal paste was gross, it spilled out of the CPU and hardly covered it. I recommend anyone having issues with their loud PS4 to open it and replace the thermal paste. It’s not extremely hard, just follow a tutorial and your PS4 will be good as new.
Where did you get a good thermal paste for it I have the og ps4 any good video in following to do it I open it up cleaning but never did the thermal paste
I have the og version aswell and apparently it’s a lot more complex to take apart compared to the pro and I don’t wanna break it😂
What is a thermal paste and what does it look like?
@@grimmygrim9448
It's a like a white thing placed in the green board inside the PS4.
Here’s the link to the Thermal Paste for you guys.

I’ve cleaned my PS4 however as soon as I start up call of duty MW it just overheard and switches off straight away
Edit: I’ve had ps5 for about 5 months now and it’s amazing I recommend it

Call of Duty MW seems to be one of the biggest culprits for PS4 overheating as of recent. Personally, I’ve never played any other game that required my fan to blow so loud so constantly. If you haven’t yet, you may want to delete and reinstall MW fresh so that it doesn’t switch off right away. Also make sure everything’s up to date.
John Hammer I’ve found a solution, whilst your waiting for it too find a match go into gunsmith and preview the weapon, the PS4 won’t overheat however the fan will still be loud. By waiting on the PREVIEW LOADOUT screen there’s less things running in the background which won’t cause the PS4 too shut down
Same
For me, I think the vertical stand ia much better than not using a stand, cause using the vertical stand makes more surface area exposed to surrounding air like a convection from air which can make it more cooler compared to just laying it on flat, what I am trying to say is there is more convection going on on the surfaces of the unit which means there is greater heat transfer going on, bcause I believe the ambient air would be much more cooler than the inside parts..
Your style of raising the topic is very beautiful and simplified ... Thank you for your time... good luck

Hi
@Raiden Parra (Student) gta aye
I’ve literally had the PS4 pro for one year. Used it six times and it started that overheating shit! And from what I’m reading this is a very widespread issue. Something that cost that much should not perform like this. I’ve also owned both versions of the Xbox. I have never had any issues with them! Anyone else going through this, or am I the only one?
Likewise
Same, specially at startup of game
My Xbox gets very hot but can still run fine. My PS4 does get hot aswell and is very loud but hasn’t even overheated at all. It never has
i bought mine used,, after 3 days it over heated .. lol i left it on for 3 days ,, sleep mode ,, turned it on to play game and it overheated 3 hours into game play ,, i shut it down ,, fired it back up ,, took ex- harddrive off the top and now it works fine ,,, im seeing they cant take any kind of heat.. i bought a ex-fan and just turn on when playing
its august and this was made in may. And this still replying to people who comment down below. I Like that, keep grinding. there are youtubers who don't reply after like a week
Thank you for the kind words Green!
I have the vertical stand that has fans in it , plus an additions stand fan next to it . makes a lot of difference it doesn't heat up as it did before
I confirm that the stands with the fans work! My PlayStation was getting a bit louder than usually and so I got the fan and it helps the fan quiet down a bit and also keeps it from over heating
I don't have a ps4 yet but when I bought a stand to put my ps3 in a vertical position it made a HUGE difference in the temperature of the console. When you leave your console horizontally the space between the console and the table or furniture its on is very small and the heat can't dissipate well but putting your console in a vertical position fixes that big time.
There's a video that shows the temperature literally doesn't change with external fans.
The PS3 is very quiet if you install an SSD.
Love the intro man you’re an AWESOME GUY thank you SOOOO MUCH
You're welcome!!
Thank u bro everytime I go over to someone’s house my ps4 is so loud it sounds like a Fan on HIGH
You're welcome!

It's been so hot these past few days and my PS4 almost never overheats but yesterday and today its been overheating whenever I play a game

Same, and I open my ps4 up and gave a clean and every time I go to cod it overheat ASAP
Do you have it in small places
Change termal paste
@@gamerulnugamer4727 yeah
After my new PS4 Slim's first five days of life with me, I decided to replace its original drive with 1TB SSD because it was hot as flat iron, and it loads like ridiculous 1 to 3 hours. Now, it feels warm to touch, and it loads faster. Plus, I installed detachable cooling fan on the back of it. The upgrade that I did was like buying disc version of PS5 already. I'll give PS5 a pass for now because getting it is like going to a destination where a vertical cliff is only way to get there. The moment PS4 stops working after 4 to 5 years, I will buy PS5 or PS6, instead of repair. My PS4 Slim is a gift to myself, in memory of pandemic. 😁😄😆🤣😘🤭 I bought it last November 15, 2020.
@vinolan reddy What I need now is time to play it. I've got lots of pending games to play in Nintendo Switch as well.
I’ll probably buy a PS5 when my PS4 gets weak and has issues. I won’t be able to fix it since I tend to mess up a lot when opening things. I ruin stuff and then they don’t function as they’re meant to be so I’ll keep my PS4 the way it is and will get a PS5 if it breaks probably or something
I feel ya bro, my Pro serves as a cooking grill when in full performance

You're welcome Iggy! I'm super happy to hear that this was able to help you. Thank you for watching
DM on IG @cl7ech..I've a solution
Love the intro
Great video. I don't have a vertical stand but what I do is get maybe 3 or 4 of my ps4 game case or can use any DVD cases and stack them on top of each other and put my ps4 on top of them. The size of the cases are good because they sit in the middle underneath the console without blocking any vents. So like you said about giving the console enough room to have good air flow all around and underneath. Has plenty room to breath. Thanks for your videos and tips. God Bless
Thanks maybe, ill try it
Smooth and cool I love this guy and it’s my first day on the channel I liked and subbed with the notifications

Never heard my Xbox one x even once when playing a game. As soon as I turn on my PS4 pro all hell breaks loose. I put more thermal compound that didn't help much. It seems that modern warfare really pushes the PS4 to the limit
do you have a regular ps4?
cause regular Xbox one and regular ps4’s sound like jet engine but since you have an Xbox x it’s probably more silent same with the ps4 pro
@@soul-fr6ql I have a pro, and my son's Xbox one s doesn't even get loud either it's just the PS4
hmm maybe it’s old?? Idk I’m really defending ps4 cause that’s the console I have lol I have a regular ps4 works fine it’s like 3 years old
@@soul-fr6ql how's a ps4 pro older than a ps4? 😂
This is helpful. My ps4 pro came today. I think another reason why is because of downloading games while playing. This helped a lot. My ps4 is now more away from my wall. And I put all my games off the top. I'm planning on getting a stand in the next month.
I've had my PS4 for 5 years and its never overheated. I've had my PS3 for 13 years and it's still running like it did the day I bought it.
Let's GO Gregory that's awesome!
That’s sick, any tips on how you’ve looked after both consoles ?
@@lucius8686 When I'm done using them I put them back in the box, not sure if that has something to do with it or not since dust can't really get to them in the box.
great video man
The best intro in the world 🤣🤣
Thank you!
The raise in a cool area made it get the message once so far in hours instead of every 10 minutes
If you use a sideway stand for your PS4 Pro it is a good idea to have a stand with fans, Amazon sells many stands with fans.
There is a vertical with extra fans it is amazing 100% recommend it. It keeps the ps4 soooooo cooolll
Ahmed dief can you tell me a link?
Every time I turn on my ps4 and start a game it sounds like a jet 😂😭💀✈️
Is it for every game or just certain titles?
@@JohnHammer every game, it wasn't that bad before the atmosphere heats up in my region
Oh yes ! The Fat and the Pro are the worst offenders, the slim is quite quiet.
Your PS4 is dusty or really old then. My PS4 slim (first generation) is always quiet, it’s even quiet while I was playing rise of the tomb raider. It’s only loud when playing super demanding games like RDR2. I had this PS4 for like over 2 years
Mas7rReaper12 I got the pro like 2 years ago, I cleaned the fan and heat sync but it gets loud like on ark, mw, r6 and any call of duty’s, it’s only quiet on gta . I dont know it might just be the pro or something
That intro is the best😂
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you my problem was that I changed my ps4 to my room and it was too close to the wall plus my ehd was on top of it and that over heats too as soon as I changed the position it stopped overheating as much.
That's great to hear Awesome! I'm glad this was able to help!
THIS IS A GREAT TIP FOR THE PS4!
Another big reason is you need to eventually change the thermal paste and completely take it apart to actually clean out the heatsink!!!
Heck yeah John!
Thanks!
This actually worked soon as I cleaned the dust and turned it away from my wall it got extra cold
That’s great J!
@@JohnHammer I have airspray thing and I try to clean it but it doesn't do anything
Have a pre-owned PS4 slim for about 4 yrs, been horizontal since I got it, bought a PS4 vertical stand for £1 today, might save my consoles life span in the long run

Try deleting and reinstalling Call of Duty fresh on your hard drive to alleviate the overheating
John Hammer tried that too. I even put my fan on the side to cool it down and it still doesn’t work
Chico Da producer exactly. I got the ac blowing on mines
Yorri Amo i even cleaned my heatsink and it still overheats

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH LIKE+SUB 1000000% WORKED I PUT THE PS4 HIGHER AND HORIZONTAL AND I PUT A FAN ITS WAYYYYY COOLER NOW
You're welcome! I'm so happy this was able to help your PS4 gaming experience!
Damn this actually pretty helpful thanks my g
The reason your PS4 overheats after playing 20 minutes of call of duty is because Sony didn’t add as much fans to their console compared to Xbox one you can play a whole day of call of duty and it would be as quiet as a mouse because it has lost of fans every where on the Xbox one.
Ok dont prove anything all consoles are equal
@@iangathogo9750 that's not true. Xbox has better fans and better heat sink
@@chaliyang772 oh so you you prefer a console than another

Really found this usefull thankyou
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Another problem for overheating is within the heat sync inside the console my sons ps4 sounded like a fighter jet taking off to the point where is was actually telling him to turn off ps4 as its too hot I opened it up to see all the dust and crap built up round the heat sync I cleaned it all out with compressed air and see the thermal paste on the chips and heat sync was virtually gone aside from some residue
I purchased some arctic silver 5 thermal paste recoated what was needed put back together his ps4 and it's working as new and the fan is very quite now and is warm as expected
I subbed. I hope u can be big one day
Thank you for the kind words Jono!
Every time I open RDR2 it just turns off, in the beginning where you're riding with Dutch

Its really not that hard. Keep it as far away from walls in a well vented area, near a open window if possible and done. And every hour just let your ps4 sit in rest mode for 5 mins to bring them temps down
I've noticed many in the comment section pointing out the issue of dust buildup to others in the comment section of this video. Dust buildup will, for obvious reasons, cause the system to overheat. Make sure to clean the dust out of both the fan and heatsink (at least) to make sure the transfer of heat is successful when the system is reassembled. I've seen a few mention thermal paste replacement as well, which is also good. If you're not confident enough to disassemble your system, find a friend or family member who can hopefully do it for you.
Two things you really shouldn't do, in my opinion:
(1) Have anything that is literally "stacking" on top of your console. Like John Hammer in the video mentioned, too much stacking could trap heat but too much stacking could also apply too much pressure on the inner hardware of your console. Doesn't make a lot of sense to have anything stacking on a console with inside hardware so sensitive to damage, just saying.
(2) Do not put your console or any console just sitting in a cabinet somewhere. Put your console in an open-spaced area somewhere so that it has plenty of space to both breathe and not accumulate too much dust. People who just leave their consoles in cabinets and shortly later wonder why their system sounds like a "jet engine" so quickly, reevaluate where you're placing your system and perhaps where else your system should be relocated. Leaving your console in a cabinet will only cause the inside of it to accumulate dust at a faster rate.

I took my ps4 pro apart cleaned the heat sink and the fan. And applied new thermal paste. This was 2 + years ago. Still quiet as a mouse till this day.
Cheaper way to do it is open up the system and replace the thermal paste. Also clean the fan and the heat sink as well. Your system will breathe much better and will have a stable gameplay
can you explain to us on ft plsss
Great vid thank you

Because the jet engine in those old models is burning up. “Pro” is built off the old variant, not the new one.
Problem solved.
I think placing ps4 on the floor so it absorbs he heat passively, plus the air temperature is lower on the floor
i need help my ps4 has been overheating so much it is vertical and has alot of space yet whenever i play a game it just overheats within minutes
Is it a certain game that causes the overheating?
John Hammer it is most games i play it happens on and i have cleaned my ps4 three times and it still happens
buy compressed air and use youtube videos on how to clean it.
BlazeNarutoShippuden already done that multiple times
Keep you top off i did that

Todd Try deleting and reinstalling 2k fresh on the hard drive and see if that helps
John Hammer ok I’ll try that
Aye take apart your ps4 and clean the fan. Worked for me
J I did that and it’s still loud asf
My PlayStation never overheats because I don't download anything I always keep it a sometimes when I'm playing a video game.
My PS4 starts being loud when I'm in the Title screen of games like Marvel's Spider-Man and like 5 Minutes after, my PS4 Gives me the overheating warning. I put it vertical and I cleaned it and nothing is close to it
If it is specifically happening on certain games like Spider-Man, have you tried deleting the game and doing a fresh re-install of the title?
Asad Ashraf nah u just have too dusty and dirty my PS4 is fine better than xbox
You need to open the ps4 and change the thermal paste
Asad Ashraf just because you cant keep your console clean doesn’t means it suck

My PS4 only done this to me once 😂. I got a slim 5-6 months ago an jus got my ventilation system for it so I’m good for a while
That's great! Keep an eye that it doesn't happen again, and be sure to give the fans on your Slim enough space in the back away from any walls, obstacles, or other entertainment boxes.
Finally found a video that actually helped me out
Yes! I'm so glad that my video was able to help, thank you for watching!

I try!
My ps4 say overheating and shuts down help even tho theres a fan blowing cold air through the ventilation
I fixed it i open my ps4 and just need to adjust my fan
pov: you're playing cyberpunk.
When you said call of Dudy I agree.
My ps display the same message “its hot...” and then it turns off when im playing genshin impact, im using and external hard drive so it’s not even a game that i have installed on the ps. What should i do?
Even though it’s on an external HDD I would still delete and reinstall the game fresh on case there’s any error code that’s backing up in the system software.
My PS4 Pro lies flat on the shelf, I think I might raise it up. The 2018 Spider-man game makes the fans run so loud in a building or any other interior scene that my dogs get scared and bark at it!
My PS4 has recently starting to overheat i have the same space about yours so the fans have a good distance away from the wall it only about 3 years old
"I'll leave a description to that in the link below" lmao 3:02
Are we gonna talk about how did you download warzone without deleting any of your games?
For real! And yes, with a mere 1 TB (nowadays) I did have to delete games so that I could fit the massive size of Call of Duty, the multiplayer, Warzone, and ALL its constant updates to date. I will certainly be publishing an upcoming video on my experiences from this soon!
Thanks Man You saved My ps4 From going on fire 🔥
I bearly turn mine on and it overheats like in 1 minute
Is it while you are playing a certain game or when at the home screen?

Also blow out the dust once in a while with either a leaf blower, or a vacuum cleaner in blow mode.
