I recently got my ps4 4 days back and when it came home it started making a loud fan noise ,i checked it out it looks clean the fan, the vents look abit dirty, When i woke up it showed a temperature too high message , i switched it off and let it rest on my bed for a solid 45 mins then started working fine,i also moved it from next to my tv to an open desk close to the window

Pls help

It could be the thermal paste! You can replace it yourself, although i have never done it myself my friend has and he said it was a lot quieter after it.

Try Amazon, its pretty cheap. And you can find tutorials on how to do it online, but im not sure how easy it is to do but you can check and see if your comfortable doing it.

If its second hand it might b getting a bit old and u just need 2 sell it and buy a new 1. If not, I recommend putting a fan next 2 it or getting some of that spray that gets the dust out I forgot what it's called tho.
