If the fan and the radiator of your PS4 have too much dust buildup, it will lower it’s cooling efficiency. You might end up with a noisy PlayStation because the system will turn up the fans RPM to compensate for the poor airflow. Your system might even shut down suddenly in order to protect its components.

By doing this, you will have to break the warranty seal, voiding the Sony Warranty of your console. So think wisely before starting the disassembly.

I am using a window cleaning solution and a microfiber towel to wash the dust off,..... and a soft painting brush to brush off any dust from electronic components as well as in tight spaces like the logo engravings, the buttons and so on.

For the disassembly I used a Torx T-9 bit and a Phillips PH0 bit, but from what i researched on the internet it appears that some console models have T-8 Torx screws instead of T-9, so it’s better to have both just to be sure.

You can also use an air spray, an inverted vacuum cleaner that can blow air, or a compressor to blow the dust off from the components.

I am Max from Lifehackermax and I hope this video will help you guys with your dust situation.
