High-Performance Thermal Paste
The original factory thermal paste dries out over time, creating an insulating layer between the APU and the heatsink. Replacing this with high-conductivity compound restores efficient heat transfer, allowing the system to maintain safe temperatures without ramping the fan to audible 'jet engine' speeds.

Replacement Internal Cooling Fan
While usually loud due to high RPM, the fan bearings in the Slim model can develop mechanical wear or imbalance after prolonged high-speed operation. If the noise persists as a grinding or rattling after cleaning, the fan assembly itself must be replaced to restore silent operation.

Thermal Pad Kit (6.0 W/mK)
The PS4 Slim uses thermal pads to cool the GDDR5 RAM chips. If these pads are displaced, torn, or have lost elasticity during a previous cleaning attempt, the RAM will overheat, triggering the system to increase global fan speeds regardless of the APU temperature.
