    The driver bit you need is called torx with security. It is like a hex star but it also has a hole in the middle to prevent using anything that is not the right thing. The correct size is the t8.

      Actually it's t9,a t8 will work,but also strip it very easily. When choosing a bit u don't want ANY play when turning. Ud be surprised how perfectly the right bit fits

    Doing a deep clean, changing the thermal paste and thermal pads can make your ps4 pro whisper quiet. Mine is the 7100b model. I did it with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Gelid thermal pads and the results are amazing. Been quiet for 2months now.

    You need to get to the FRONT of the heat sink, the other side to what youve shown. That's where the air gets sucked in to go through the heat sink where in turn any dust, hair, dirt will stick.

    Here in 2022, bought a used PS4 Pro this time last year, for a while it was acting fine, after a while some games the fan would start sounding like a fighter jet in my room.
    Followed this guide, after I was done, some games still act the same, others that did the same run just fine now. May need to take one last dive in, clean out any remaining dust in the fan. But for the most part, it worked like a charm. Kinda got scared cause my first time round, the PS4 wouldn’t turn on. Figured out I messed up and I guess didn’t reconnect the battery after I was done. Went back and did that, and it’s working better than before like I said. Thanks for the guide!
