- 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
Buy the Fan Stand that I was referring to on Amazon: amzn.to/2Ih6Lxz

@Raiden Parra (Student) gta aye
I like how he went straight to the point thx
You're welcome!
@@JohnHammer ;)
I see this same comment on videos all the time, they always get a like from the video creator too lol
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..
they want us to buy a ps5 so bad
True
I swear I’m more likely to buy an Xbox than buy a ps5
Your style of raising the topic is very beautiful and simplified ... Thank you for your time... good luck
Wow, thank YOU so much for the kind words and for watching! Your compliment gives me the motivation to keep creating helpful videos like this one.
My PS4 has literally overheated like 50 times today thanks for this video
Did any of this work
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.

Bro just made thousands of him messing up
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
Love the intro man you’re an AWESOME GUY thank you SOOOO MUCH
You're welcome!!
Thanks man. My wife leaves stuff on top of the PS4, and my kids like to leave it on Rest mode. I tell everyone not to do either. It finally overheated for the first time. I’m gonna get the vertical stand
Kinda sucks that no one is listening to you though man.

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
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’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
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.
I feel ya bro, my Pro serves as a cooking grill when in full performance
Thank you for this short and helpful video. I have not tried your recommendations but i can be sure that it will work. Remember me as one of your loyal subscribers when you get famous
Thank you!
Hi John, is there any way you can adjust the Left and Right ear volume on the ps5? Im having problems since ive got difficulties in the left ear.
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
wait what you only have 130 subs??? how this was so helpful and professional I would think you'll have 130k subs!!
Thank you so much! Your kind words truly motivate me to keep creating content and share what has helped most with the PlayStation 4.
Thank u sir this is helpful for me I thought I need to clean the fan but here my guy helped me
Smooth and cool I love this guy and it’s my first day on the channel I liked and subbed with the notifications
Thank you!!
Best intro ever lmao hahaha thank you!
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.
Hey again I have a question does leaving an external hard drive USB hard drive on would like 30 games or more cause it to overheat too?
I suppose having the games like there in the background to start and be ready to start can pretty much add to the PS4 itself I don't know I'm not really technical I just removed it because the only games I play are actually on a physical disk so when I do want to play the games on the hard drive I could just plug it back in
Great tips! Does anybody know which monitor is behind John? Thanks👍🏼
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!
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
At one point in my life my PS4 hard drive failed to do a software update and it overheated and burnt I’ve got a new one and ever since that happened I’ve been terrified of my PS4 losing all of the memory I really hope these tips helped me out and I have one more question, is putting an extra fan good for the PS4?
Taking the top off is that also a good idea or is it to easy for dust to wreck it?
Thank u so much,I couldn’t even play one game and would overheat on the Home Screen. Thank you so much for helping me fix my ps4
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
My ps4 has never overheated until these past few days now and it overheats so much now... I’ve had the ps4 since it came out
You clean it bro
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
Damn this actually pretty helpful thanks my g
Thank you for the good video and tips 🙂
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
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!
Had my PS4 overheat and turn off after cleaning the fan and other areas (never reached the heatsink, but I thought it would be fine). after my final clean, it was at the point where it turned off within minutes of playing R6S. i thought it would be the thermal paste but I'm wondering if its anything different. any ideas? (gonna try and bring it to a repair shop sooner or later)
I have a PS4 slim. Do these tips still work? Cause I see you have a pro. But also. It's only the back right of my PS4 That overheats. Nowhere else. I have a vertical stand but it seems like it gets hotter faster than laying flat.
Another big reason is you need to eventually change the thermal paste and completely take it apart to actually clean out the heatsink!!!
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!
The raise in a cool area made it get the message once so far in hours instead of every 10 minutes
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.
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
Heck yeah John!
Thanks!
great video man
Good video , I'm an Xbox fan but I bought a PS4 to try its games that are not on Xbox . I hope I won't get disappointed. One question if I sign up for PS + or Now would I be able to play the games even after subscription ends ? I know my question is out of the video topic :). thanks
Thanks Jake! Good question: it depends on the title but many games are requiring PS Plug for full playability as well as a constant online connection.
The best intro in the world 🤣🤣
Thank you!
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

Please I have a question I use a PS4 slim and my power cable got damaged which is the the one with the blade now am using the one with the pin is it safe?? please answer
You're my hero.

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.

Marques Dunn bruh
Okay I don’t see anything funny
Hes talking about how the ps4 heats by being online and stuff and its ironic his ps4 has no connection to the internet
Lmao didn’t even notice
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
That intro is the best😂
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Can I ask a question?
Is it the promblem if we have the ps4 pro on boost mode or something else?
Because sometimes I play like games: star wars battlefront 2 or for honor or God of War 4 and it goes like airplane sound
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

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.
Love the intro
Is the stand necessary for the PS4 Pro? I can’t find an official brand one anywhere and the generic insignia brand is cheap but looks like shit. It seems to be pretty stable without a stand but I am more concerned about the bottom vents being blocked?
Justin The official PlayStation vertical stand is the best because it raises the entire console off of it's side. It was also sold out for me so I ended up getting the one I recommend in this video (in the description) and, although it doesn't raise the unit nearly as much, it is still working great for my current setup
John Hammer I ordered a total rip off job of the official Sony stand. It’s exactly the same, maybe less quality than plastic and it’s black. Only cost $12.99. It works well. Not as stable than without any stand, but does allow air to flow under the unit. The official Sony stand is $50 from resellers all over the world plus shipping. Thanks for your help. I also got a Best Buy brand one coming that only cost $5.
Every time I open RDR2 it just turns off, in the beginning where you're riding with Dutch

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.
I’ve been with xbox for 7 years and I decided to buy a ps4 on the side. I’m kinda dumbfounded how unoptimized the original ps4 is in terms of cooling. I popped it open and noticed the bad cooling system. Its not too bad but it can be better. Is the ps4 pro any better?
Apple The PS4 Pro has 4K and HDR compatibility. There is a newer and a slightly older version of the Pro based on model number, and the newer version of the Pro is known to have slightly less fan speed decibels.
Really found this usefull thankyou

I try!
When I turn my ps4 I’m cool but if I’m playing a game where it takes a lot of energy I set my fan up so it’s facing it and it keeps cool..
Try deleting and reinstalling the game
Also blow out the dust once in a while with either a leaf blower, or a vacuum cleaner in blow mode.
Is there a chance that the heat could damage the wires at the back? I have a ps4 pro
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
Same
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
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

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
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

i stand it vertically and remove the cover for the hdd, then use a 2 fan laptop cooler blowing on the metal part (the metal part is also connected to the heat sink) , i play horizon zero dawn for half a day (5-7 hours) fan noise quite down a lot was not hot compare to when i just place it flat.

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
