You shouldn’t need a tool kit, the top pops right off
I needed a t9 torx screwdriver to open the bottom where the fan and power supply are
you do need one.
my boy did it for me. fan gets much quieter doing easy tasks like netflix but on high end games like cod warzone etc it still sounds like a jet engineI ordered a tool kit off amazon to open it up, I'll update how it goes on Friday
Hoping I can lower the fan noise
Got me tempted now but I'Il wait until you finish yours.

Paid $55 to have it cleaned it wouldn't play Cod until then.. Still loud as fuk but atleast it plays..
I opened my original ps4 up and cleaned out all the dust as well as reapply the thermal paste to everything that needed it. It was quiet for about a year after.
Traded it in for a pro, which sounded like a jet right outta the box.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Only when I swapped the hard drive, I blew some compressed air in there.
because dust can build up in it? I bought my ps4 off some dude off craigslist and its been loud as fuk since then (even when games aren't running), so I figured I'd drop the $15 to get the screwdrivers to open it upI did it, it's easy. I'm stupid btw

I took off the top and sprayed it with a compressed air can. That should do it. 
mine is quiet and i got mine from a pawnshop - think the owner had it for like a month and sold it
UPDATE: I just opened it up and cleaned it. Used a compressed air to clean out the fan and power supply, there was a ton of dust. The fan is noticeably less loud now but it isn't completely silent by any means. I'd say it's about 60-75% as loud as it was before.
