Or.... the part is on Sony and Microsofts side all these years & all these cleaning tip videos are just BS shilling for a much larger problem. Some consoles do need to be cleaned, they do get dirty, but let's address the REAL issue. SONY & Microsoft making a profit and product with cheap parts, (xbox 360 & ps3 both had an overheating issue and resulted in lawsuits, companies where then forced to actually do the right thing and replace the console without charging, but did so kicking & screaming & long after charging customers to fix them at an outrageous price for something they themselves should've covered to begin with.) The PS4 overheats & has its its own issues. From freezes, to blue screens, complete lock ups, not even able to reboot in safe mode, the internet is filled with customers tales of unhappiness. Whether the PS4 is clean or dirty though clean obviously helps, new, or old, refurbished, Base, Slim, Pro plain and simple it runs like a toaster oven. It has Poor parts placement & the lack of air circulation makes things worse. Poor optimization of the PS operating system and the PS store itself. The base model in particular where the power supply is. I would love to shake the hand of the person who thought the internal temperature of the original base ps4 at launch had to run like a toaster oven sitting at the dashboard. Not running games. Or apps, or movies. Or the store. Freezing, pausing, lagging, overheating,forcing to restart. The error codes, my god the error codes, the support page that tells you what the error code meant and what to do about it really isn't helpful, other than reboot in safe mode and rebuild your database. Customer support isn't very knowledgeable either. Absolute Sonys way of keeping the customer busy with fixes and work arounds they know won't work, while not working on anything that will fix the problem except to tell customers that already bought the console to buy another one in the form of the slim and pro or send back to them for an outrageous price, that still overheats even brand new. The games, while fun, especially first party, or hell even third party games run really hot and can't run well on the ps4, so they themselves are either poorly optimized or can't play nice with the limitations of the ps4 slim even the pro, not to mention the base model. The fan is a cheap joke & and having to buy a better one off line and install yourself after spending the money on the console is also bullshit. It's not a PC. & when charging close to what a gaming PC cost should run a hell of a lot better people, wake up demand more for your money. I've had the PSX, PS2, & PS3, loved em all and while they did have problems, especially the ps3, the network was and still is buggy as hell. PS5 is getting ready to come out, Sony makes millions of dollars and still can't get their Network right. This is coming from some one who is a lifetime sony fan, just tired of it. When consoles are charging close to a gaming pc now days, games getting more expensive, season passes, DLC, microtransactions, other BS, customers deserve more for their money, than companies just saying give us your money & we'll make a patch or a fix maybe later down the line, or we won't, we'll spend more money scrubbing the internet, reddit's and CZcams deleting negative but completely truthful post , real issues customers are having, and give other people money to promote sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, etc, pick your favorite in a positive untruthful light.
The rrod wasn't microsoft's fault and had NOTHING to do with improper cooling. Its all ATI's fault for selling defective gpus to microsoft, which caused 90% of rrod failures to happen. Even if microsoft cooled the chips better, they would still die.
Sorry could you say that again
Yeah the ps3 and xbox 360 had like the biggest failure rate not the cooling...... And the ps4 is like 7 years old
I honestly NEVER had an overheating problem with PS3. I only started having this issue with PS4, and that’s only because I play so much. Don’t give a shit about Xbox at all tho
Why would u put aside a hole evening to write this
5 seconds of warzone and this happens smh
ikr lmao i went on cold war to get dm ultra and i can't even grind without my ps4 sounding like a jet
@@zentex6612 😂😂😂
Ya bro my ps4 heats very much when I play warzone
Me too
Fucking facts first game and its already hot as shit
0:31 *Takes mine out*
Same😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭
Run a dust cloth (like a dry Swiffer brand one) around the vents once a week.
Point a portable fan towards it while using it. This one will help to stop (or slow) the heating of the plastic that causes those crackling/popping noises - which is the plastic expanding and contracting.
Gave my PS4 3 fans
As soon as I go in fortnite it overheats still
It's cold aswell
@FreeSpeech orDIE!!! No. It wouldn't cool it off if you pointed the fan away from the console.
In Short I have to renovate my house to follow these tips😂
No? What?
@@anthonyspinnichio7766 I don't have space to keep it like he said
@@entityshadow1251 Oh sorry I was confused makes more sense now😊
lol
I completely got rid of the jet engine noise by putting it in the window opening n letting it suck in the artic air it really works btw depending on where ur gaming setup is mines in the living room so only took a min to rewire from window back to tv reduced the noise by 70% n I was finally able to enjoy the last of us part 2 properly hopes this helps anyone who goin wat I'm goin thru cuz the scalpers hoarding all the p5s 😭
Ps - it's the middle of winter where I'm all that's y its works so well
How long did it take for it to fully go awau
Keep the content coming buddy 🙏
Good stuff fam, hope you have a good one ❤️😊
Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Clean the fan, and heat sink
Then, when ur ps4 starts to get hot or loud, put an ice pack or two on top of it
adding more fans to a playstation basically turns it from a boeing to an f16
I couldn't imagine a better metaphor
Cool video - I'm a fan!
Thank you very much:)
Nice joke
Ah alright thanks, my ps4’s been getting hotter than normal recently and turns out the problem was that it was in a tight drawer or whatever you’d call it so the hot air kept heating more hot air in the same space until my ps4 couldn’t handle it anymore.
Mine used to overheat and just shut off. Now, when I'm done i shut it down and unplug it and its been fine over a year. I don't use stand by, it sits on a flat surface with enough breathing room and I use a damp lysol or even wet wipe to collect dust on the outsides of it. Had mine since 2015
[Everyone liked that]
Mine still shuts off ... anyone help?
@@ismailfarooq. same
Yours is CUH 1116A fat 500gb?
Mine is from 2013 and today is the first time i saw it overheat its a fat ps4
Ur a massive legend my man

This heatwave caused my ps4 to overheat for the first time in the 5 years that I've had it lol

@@ruty_bolzga424 what do you mean? Anyway, I got it fixed thank god
@@fadyfares4411 that ur ps4 doesnt keep up thats what i meant
@@ruty_bolzga424 yeah, yeah it was always closing in on me
Im going to do that now
Thanks a lot this eliminates most of PS4 fat errors
Thanks 🙏
Every time I play a game like Apex Legends it overheats and just dies
Same problem apex legend is the worst for overheating my PS4 shuts down in lobby
Yeah it doesn't even start the game but still overheats
Do u know how to fix it
Your best bet is to open up and clean inside or get a coooling fan for the back of the PS4
It’s best to just play when it’s not hot outside when there is wind to keep the room cool
Thank you bloody
Your welcome
i used artic MX-4 thermal paste and now i feel doubtful if it was the best thermal paste i could’ve used for my ps4, because it still gets a bit loud however i sit pretty close to my playstation and i may just be paranoid.
Chiming in to say that if you’re like this person and still find your PS4 sounding like a jet despite new thermal paste, it’s not just you. Long story short you need a higher grade thermal paste with high viscosity like Thermalright TFX that can sustain high temps for longer. Getting new thermal pads (1MM is the size for PS4) will also help greatly too.
I personally did this and it was a game changer. Can’t recommend enough
I’ve done this I’ve got a fan at the back of it at the front a cold pack and a stand with windows open but this still happens
Use a table fan or a cooler
If u dont have make one at home ,but it should be powerful
And then keep it close to your ps4
Problem solved
I hav been using this trick for 1 year and it's still worked
Do you just put a fan in front of the ps?
like it mate
Thanks m8
i did this and it helped i took a book under my ps4 pro and air conditioner next to playstation to cool down my room it helped a lot
yes man! These are the comments I love
@@SubedMedia thank you a lot !
Why do you have so many cables? Mine only use 2, or 3 when I plug the LAN cable in.
You are the best
Playstation just started the red blinking overheat light. Hopefully this’ll work cause if not I gotta wait till Sony decides to release ps5’s in an abundance cause getting one of them rn is ridiculous
It’s pretty simple deep clean and replace thermol paste, it’s pretty simple.
How do I clean it tho😩
mo what model do you have?
Still loud after: replacing thermal paste and deep cleaning
@@Scrubby.55 I have the og ps4, been with me since the first day it came out 😤
@@andresgavrila9615 the loudness won't ever dissappear, if your ps4 sounds like a jet then you either need to replace the hardware or get a new Ps4. Your ps4 sounds loud be it's trying to cool itself down since its doing so much. Trust me I've tried everything
SampiPlayz: Put it in a cool area
Me: *lives in Australia*
Same bruh my room is an oven
Me: *living in europ* thinks that only people next to my country watch the video
Australians: Hey dude
Same
Thanks every time I tried to play my PlayStation would die
So does it start now?
SampiPlayz
Yeah it works perfectly my problem was that the back was pressed up against my wall but thanks to your video it doesn’t overheat
Hey my PS4 keeps on overheating on certain games I’ve cleaned it and done all the steps but it still won’t work and suggestions
So whenever I launch the game dead by daylight, the fans go crazy and it thinks its overheating and shuts off. I had the inside cleaned out and it was pretty dusty, but it still has this problem.
If I leave it on for just a few minutes, I'll have to shut it off and let it cool down before launching that game or it shuts off. It doesn't shut off for any other game. Including games with higher graphics.
Is the over heating related to how much the power of the fan? Or is there something im not doing?
Long question but thanks
I have the same problem
I have a similar problem when I'm starting a custom race in Grand Tourismo. I think it's the processing behind (loading the map, mpc, enemies and something like that). Where is your game installed (HDD/SSD)?
@@SubedMedia Its a download game, completely digital.
Yeah, but have you installed the game on your internal HDD or do you have an external SSD/HDD?
@@SubedMedia it's all internal. The game is installed directly onto the ps4.
No disk, and no external storage device
What are those stands called? I'm trying to find them.
Would you happen to know how to get a PlayStation out of safe mode? The only option that will work for me is to plug in a USB with the latest update on it, though, one of my USB ports does not work, and I do not have a laptop/PC to download the update onto a USB. So I am asking. Would you know if there is any last options I can do that would fix it. Even if it takes everything off of my PS4 (sets it back to factory settings)
Idk if you got your ps4 out of safe mode but the easy way to get it out is to turn your game off and turn it back on and hold the power button and wait for the second beep ( you will hear the first beep when you turn it on but by continuing holding the power button you will hear a second beep) after that you will be taken to the default safe mode screen where it asks for you to plug in your duel shock controller and next you should see a menu and try the first option and the last 2 options will wipe your ps4 so try those last and make sure to search up each option does so you don’t do anything that will harm your ps4
Did you take out the hard drive and put it back in?
Danke
I'm so used to my PS4 making jet engine noises cuz I had it for so many years
I literally turn it on and as soon as I hear the sounds of an F16 ,I plug in my headphones and play music through out my gaming session ,problem solved for you but not for anyone near you 😂
I tired to do the steps and tried to play fortnite, still overheated without telling me it's too hot. isn't there a better way? if so, plz tell me. I h8 my PS4 overheating every time I play fortnite
I keep ice cubes on top of that. Any problem?
question if your ps4 top systm light brown liquid and burn the silver cause that that want can you do with that
I ain’t opening my ps4 😂😂😂 last time I opened my controller and followed the video I broke the controller 😂😂😂
You open the ps4, not the controller.

I lost 3 brain cells reading this comment
Bro i was about to put my ps4 in my mini fridge when he said that 💀
Hey what are those things under your PS4? Where can I buy some or get information in those. I wanna get some of those metal things to rise my PS4 abit like that.
These are some stand-offs from an old pc. Just search for some feeds or spacers on Amazon.
I wondering how do you fixWhen your PlayStation overheats and turns off Please help
I use a fan that's alright right??
Bruh I'm tryna rebuild database during process of the rebuild database it turns off saying temperature is to hot
Where did u get those stands
Tnx
I just got one problem,what about the cockroach inside the ps4?is it tough to get them out?
Suck it out
EXP3RT GAM3R ok
Replace thermal paste and clean your vents. That's it.
Did both still don’t work
ive had my ps4 hanging on a metal chain for the last two years and it was overheating so i came here
I live in Canada, so you know igloos and snow year round
This is what I meant with cold area :) but keep an eye on the melting snow
NBA2k22 Blacktop got me here
I literally have the top left of my ps4 pulled off and a fan against it on max setting. Still fuckin overheats on basic ass games like rogue company
My PlayStation is still loud but it doesn't over heat anymore
So you can use it as a console now ^^
Does anyone have any tips on what to clean your ps4 slim fan with other than compressed air? I literally can't find compressed air ANYWHERE
Some vacuum cleaners have a setting for blowing air instead of sucking it in
@@SubedMedia can I use a vacuum on its lowest level?
@@FLICKY935 It should work but please be carefull
I played for tonight and it doesn't even work because for some reason it has 2overheat
Opening your playatstion WONT void your warranty if you live in the US. BUT sony can refuse to repair your ps4 if you open it and damage something.
Oh ok, I didn't know that. In Germany your void your warranty.
Ok my ps4 has enough room but the wires are blocking the back a tiny bit is that good?
That's no problem. Without the cables it's hard to play. But most of the wires aren't thick enough to block all the warm air.
That elegant german accent of yours.. 😂
Yesterday GOW4 started,fan gone crazy like vacuum cleaner and it just turned off. I opened console and cpu pressure plate was hot as hell. MY Ps4 is done! Already changed thermal paste once. First gloss ps4 white series ... RIP.
Until save € for ps4 pro no more gaming 👋
Bro my ps4 so hot that I had to get a fan
Did it work
Remove cover and turn upside down for fan te get fresh air
Where did you get the minni circle’s from to go underneath your ps4 does anyone know what they are called or where I can get them from xxxxx 🐝💘
I got them from an old cumpoter I took apart. I Think they are called standoffs. But u can use some blocks of Lego or even wood :)
It's Summer Time For Me... :/
so i cleaned mine already and it still overheats like crazy and mines out of warranty. idk what to do because i don’t wanna damage my ps4.. i’ve tried everything and it still doesn’t work :/
Let me guess opining up is to risky? Have you tried to put coins on top of it? Maybe they absorbe the heat.
Just get a new ps4 if it’s so old it has a high chance of overheating that’s what imma do
sorry if this is late man but maybe your thermal paste needs replacing
Just Use weed pots ... 3 or 4 , so ur ps4 is elevated works best for me 🖖💫💫💫
I was literally just thinking of trying this!! I hope it works like it did for you 👀
Bruh I watche this n when he said to put my ps4 to the refrigerator n I paused it and put it in there
Good job👍🏻
That's going to damage it don't encourage him
Ya it still over heats the top feels like a oven
My ps4 over heats and sounds like a jet when I start CZcams or any thing up
where do i get stands like these or what else can i use ?
i use lego’s

Can you give us some tips on how to Gets stock disc out of the PlayStation 4
How do you mean that?
SampiPlayz I meant to say can you give us tips how to get stuck disc out of are PlayStation 4
Let me think about it
The Gang no I don’t I could just Copy and paste then use a translator
Do you know how to co down the hard drive? My hard drive gets really hot when i play simple games
Try to open up the cover
@@SubedMedia I did both the top and bottom covers are off but it still overheats
@@banditdoggo Have u tried to put some metal coins on top of the metal brackets of the HDD? They could work as a heat sink
@@SubedMedia nope ima try today
If I wrap a frozen water bottle in a towel and leave it on top of the hottest area of my ps4, would that also be effective? Or more dangerous?
I would say more dangerous and the cool bottle doesn’t make any contact with your console. The towel works more as a isolation.
i was getting on my ps4 and there was water underneath it it’s not damaged and i definitely didn’t spill anything on it does anyone know why?
Your PS4 peed
So i clean it and i put in on some pennys because i dont have things to put my ps on. So idk if it works i will try to see
Just give me a little update, looking forward to her from you :)
All I ever wanted to do was play 2k and it turns off
Bro I just threw a bunch of ice on it and dipped
So it's okay to put my fan on it. Just to keep it cool when the PlayStation is standing up. Tell me this is okay put extra air in my room when it's hot in here.
Ik im late to comment but i have a problem with my PS4 PRO. My PS4 PRO was turned off 2 hours ago. When i woke up i was playing FIFA 22. When i wanted to do another match, the PS4 PRO turned off by itself. I knew it was overheated. I wanted to try to cool it down without the fan turned on, now i wanted to turn it on because it was cooled and it didnt turn on. Does someone know how to fix this?
Does it any sound or anything? Could be an internal problem which you can't see from the outside
Brur my cover for PS4 it’s fell off bc I dropped it 2seconds it’s overhaeating
I think something broke dude. You should repair it
@@SubedMedia oh idk it still works tho not said ps4 is overheating
You're a lucky man
I’m not cleaning my PS4 again after what I did to my last one
what did you do? did you strip the screws?
@@vincentmedina2127 made it 3x louder somehow lol
How is that possible? Maybe you bend some wings of your fan
@@SubedMedia I honestly don’t even know , it’s as loud as a blow dryer now
That's doesn't sound good. I think something is wrong with your fan
How do you turn on and off the PlayStation without a controller? Thanks
On the front there's a little on/off button. On most PS4 it's a touch button right above the reject button
Wish I had a air compressor
Buy an A C works for me
Best idea I heard so far
But thanks advice from cooling me ps4 thanks

My PS4, is starting to sound like if something inside is crashing to each other, and I’m scared to turn it on
Sounds like a lose part in the fan or your hard drive could be broken. Maybe open it up und look for some broken parts
You probably forgot a screw or two on the fan because I had a similar issue after I cleaned my ps4 and had put it back together
How? it's Summer and i live in Finland?? impossible
What happens if You take it outsider to cool if off?
It could work. But you need a very long HDMI and power cable to turn it on outside your room. One little note: watch the weather
I cleaned my playstation and did all the tips in this video, but whenever I try to play a game the damn thing dies, like even if I just try to start the game
Which game you try to play?
@@SubedMedia cod cold war, I jus tried turning my ps4 on last night and it over heated b4 it even started up, I think it just needs new thermal paste
@@SubedMedia ok so I put new thermal paste on, the ps4 works for every other game EXCEPT for cod
That's sound great in the first half. I think you cleaned it during the thermalpaste replacement?
Mine overheats when I am playing god of war 4
Just bought a new ps4 but the old one keeps overheating
It could be the spying software... but try to open it up and clean it. When you destroy it you still have the new one
SampiPlayz yeah, but I’ve cleaned it at least 5 times this week
And have you put in some new thermalpaste?
I put frozen pees on mine
You can achieve nearly the same effect with chicken nuggets or pizza ;)
Dose it work
Frozen pees or pizza?
@@SubedMedia both
It could be. But when it unfreezes some water can get out and causes damage to your PlayStation.
Is cooler for ps4 good?
Depends on which cooler you buy
@@SubedMedia what your recommend?
