Here is a picture I took of a PS4 motherboard completely removed from the casing. It's well known that Play Station 4's can suffer from overheating issues and start to sound really loud. The internal fans run at full speed as soon as a game is loaded. This problem is usually fixed by getting rid of all the dust inside the console and then applying a new coating of thermal paste to the top of the processor. So, clean out all the dust build up, take the old paste off the processor, and then apply the new thermal paste.
The bare bones of the playstation 4 with new thermal paste added to the processor, ready to put back together.
This was done to the PS4 in the image and it did fix the problem. The console is now very quiet, even when running heavy, processor hungry games like Call of Duty [COD]. Anyway, the picture was just so you can see what the motherboard looks like. There are lots of guides online in video and writing form if you are a PS4 owner and want to do this yourself. It's not that hard to do. Just make sure to keep everything like all the screws and what goes where organised when taking it apart.
