Time for a cleanup
After years of gaming the PS4 Pro got loud and hot. Time to open it up, get rid of the dust and give the APU fresh thermal paste.
Opening it up
Top cover, shielding, power supply and fan connectors, one layer at a time.
Dust and dried paste
This is what years of use look like: a heatsink full of dust and dried out thermal paste on the APU.
Clean and fresh paste
The APU cleaned and fresh thermal paste applied.
