High Performance Thermal Interface Material (MX-4 or Kryonaut)
The primary cause of excessive fan noise in early PS4 models is the degradation of the factory thermal paste. As the paste dries, it loses its ability to conduct heat from the APU to the heatsink effectively. Applying high-performance non-conductive paste restores thermal conductivity, allowing the system to maintain stable temperatures at lower fan speeds.

Internal Cooling Fan (Replacement Unit)
Continuous operation at maximum RPM, described by users as 'jet engine' noise, can lead to premature bearing wear or blade imbalance. If the noise persists after thermal paste replacement or contains a high-pitched grinding, the fan's internal mechanical components have likely failed. A replacement fan ensures optimal airflow with minimal acoustic output.

Thermal Pad Replacement Kit
The CUH-1000 uses individual thermal pads for the GDDR5 memory modules. These pads often shift or lose compression over time, leading to localized hotspots that contribute to the overall thermal load. Replacing these with 1.0mm thickness high-conductivity pads ensures the entire PCB remains within the targeted thermal envelope.
