For anyone wonder I haven't cleaned my ps4 since 2015 (that's when I got it) and today was the first time I cleaned it, now there's no noise, fans are spinning quietly, and it's as good as new! Id rate the difficulty of this a 1.5 out of 5 only because people seem to have an issue with the prying (which I did too for like 30 seconds), what I did was use a prying tool but I know a lot of people don't have that so I reused a flathead screwdriver and it worked just as well. It's a bit scary cause you think something is going to break but there were no issues whatsoever.

This was the most helpful video I found to do this. Mission successful, thank you my friend. The inside was honestly not as dirty as I was expecting, but it felt good to clean it after 4 years anyway.

This really helped me eliminate the noise coming from my PS4. Even with a little bit of dust that I can’t clean out currently because I don’t have air spray (ordering soon), the PS4 sounds a lot more quiet when running games and I’m really happy.

You posted this 3yrs ago, but im just now using it to guide me, and the PS4 sounds waaaaaaay better. It had been 8 years since I cleaned it lol TY

You did an amazing job on this walk through for this version of the PS4. You’re right a lot of the videos on KZread show the original PS4 being cleaned and not this matte version. Made it a breeze to clean my PS4.

Hey bro I really appreciate you makin this vid with this model 😂 my PS4 has been sounding like a jet for YEARS and I finally cleaned it out and now when I was running dragon ball fighterz thing was absolutely silent thanks man❤️

As you said, all the other videos weren't this model, so this was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you so much! Hopefully it's quiter now!

Thank you sir for this video! The quality and production of the video is highly underrated :D

You're the only one I've seen explaining enough the removal of the base cover thing, that was the most difficult part in all this for me, thank you so much!

I appreciate the video my man. I, too, had 7 years of built up dust and as you can imagine, mine looked an awful lot like yours did. But now it's as clean as the day I bought it. Thanks again.

Just got a 1st gen PS4 for super cheap, took it apart for its first interior cleaning and was amazed how well kept it was, obviously from a non smoke home and not an overload of dust on the cooling fan either, pretty impressive really! Quiet as a mouse too, quicker too with the 1TB SSD upgrade. The original 500GB drive was clicking/beeping when I went to diagnos it on a PC.

Thank you for posting this, it was one of the only vids I could find for this model. Super helpful :)

Thank you so much dude. This step by step guide is absolutely amazing! And honestly, I thought cleaning my PS4 might help with the noise only so slightly, but my god, it's like a brand new console, I can't even hear it anymore!

MAJOR like for this one, bro. No one is gonna readily figure out where to pry for that second cover. You are awesome!

This video has been an amazing find! My PS4 is the quietest it has been in years. Thank you for taking the time to help us all! 💯🏆

Dude this was so sick thanks so much, i was looking for this model becuase all other one's were different to mine. done everything you said, and the ps4 went from a jet to being very quiet. Used to sound like a jet on Ghost of Tsushima but now its relatively quiet asf. Thanks a lot you are a life saver.

Thanks so much for this! I had been looking awhile for the right cleaning video. Every one I came across had a different model. I finally managed to clean my PS4 after 5 years! Thanks again! 😁

Thank you so much for this video!! A lot of the other videos are of the older model, so when I sat down to clean it and saw the screws in different places I was very confused, but then I came across your video and it was perfect! My ps4 runs so much quieter now I can’t thank you enough!

My son's ps4 was actually louder then a hair dryer on max. Used your tutorial as guide to clean it. After maybe spending 10 mins following your super easy, Step by step instructions; for my ps4 opened up. Now, it's barely a whisper coming out of that thing. Thanks, your guide much appreciated!

Thanks so much. The video was perfect and was a huge help for me. My PS4 is much quieter now. I was definitely nervous taking the bottom panel off because it took so much force. Was afraid to break the plastic.

This was very thorough and detailed. Very good instructions. Thanks!

So glad I watched this video instead of the other one I was watching. I didn't realize at first that I have a newer ps4 model. The other video had me taking it all apart differently, which was causing me to force it in a bad way. They are definitely not all the same. This video is for the newer models that have less screws in the back.

This vlog just saved my ps4. My wife was playing it and it just stopped. Looked this up and followed it and boom, with an update good as new so far. Thank you for this vlog. Peace

Thanks a lot, I was looking for a video with this model and didn't even know how it was called. Also mind for the people that don't have that special tool to remove the back you can use a card, I advise to use 2 cards, if you pull it a little with your nails and same time put the card in you can use two cards to get it all off, didn't take me that long.

Thank you so much it is literally been years since I’ve done this best video out there

I actually forgot how quite the ps4 operates, was sounding 10x as loud before watching your video and clearing out some dust. Thanks for the easy to understand instructions sensei

Thank you very much for this. I felt like I needed to add some extra time of life to my ps4 since they announced the ps5. Also the other videos showing how to clean this model of ps4 did not show how to remove the bottom cover of the ps4 which was starting to become a nightmare. This video showed me how to remove the bottom cover though thankfully.

Great tutorial. I bought a little tool kit from Amazon, found your video (as the one I was sent a link to was for the wrong console) and off I went. I laughed when you showed how dirty yours was and you said "that's about as bad as it gets" 🤣🤣🤣 I was like "hold ma controller".... mine was about 4 times worse!!! Never seen so much dust in my life!!! 😱 But thanks to you my ps4 is like new, working perfectly and as quiet as the day I unboxed it. Thank you so much!!! 🙌🏻

YOU ARE THE MAN. No more noise after 7 years

Mine did the same you just gotta be patient and there isn’t really anything you can break when separating it

good video; one thing to note is static electricity can kill components quickly. typically electronic savvy folks use alcohol and q-tips to clean areas beyond the air can (as canned air is treated as anti static) Alcohol provides very little residue during the cleanup and swabbing with a 150 pack of q-tips is affordable. THE SWIFFER CAN BE A BAD TOOL! Not many are made for anti static and electrical usage. Understand it takes less than 5v of electrical energy to fry an IC (integrated circuit) or chip as most know them. Majority run on less then a volt of DC power and more run on mV. Applaud you for the detail of your video.

2022 and your video still a blessing thank you brotha

Finally a video for my PS4 model. Seems like all the other videos are for different models. Was super easy and is really quiet now.

just remember not to use a swifer because it can carry static and fuck ur system up

Hey do you have any advice for getting the PSU off, I think I have the same model as you and I’m having a really hard time with that step, it’s the thing he does at 8:27, any advice

Second time using this video, can explain how appreciative I am. Very simple and easy guide, especially when i have this model which well not many other videos exists on.

Want to thank you so much for your efforts and information. My granddaughter received our son's PS4 when he bought a PS5 and not knowing much about these things we assumed the jet or howling sound was part of the game sounds. Our granddaughter didn't really care?? In any event after listening to it for several nights from her room I did some research and came up with your instructional video. Again, our thanks! Now that I have done it once it won't be hard to make it a part of caring for the machine.

I've had my PS4 for almost 8 years and never had any issues with it until a few weeks ago it started overheating. I just opened it up for the first time and no wonder it's overheating and sounding like a jet engine. There's so much dust inside even the hard drive is dirty. Right now my PS4 is getting a much needed cleaning.
