Frequently asked questions
Why does my PS4 sound like a jet engine?
Dust packed around the heatsink plus aged thermal paste forces the fan to spin at full speed; cleaning and re-pasting brings the noise back down.
Can overheating cause my PS4 to shut off?
Yes — the console protects itself by shutting down when it overheats, and clearing the cooling system resolves it in most cases.
How long does a PS4 cleaning take?
Most thermal cleans are same-day; we confirm timing when you drop the console off.
