PS4 Fat Internal Cooling Fan Replacement — CUH-1000, CUH-1100 & CUH-1200 Series

Stop your PS4 from overheating — replace the internal cooling fan before it causes permanent damage.

The PS4 original (fat) relies entirely on a single internal axial fan to draw heat away from the APU, GPU, and power supply. Over years of use, dust accumulation, bearing wear, and thermal degradation cause this fan to become loud, inefficient, or fail entirely. A failing fan is one of the most common causes of PS4 overheating, unexpected shutdowns during gameplay, and the console entering thermal protection mode. Replacing the fan — alongside a thermal paste reapplication — is the most effective repair for a PS4 that runs hot, sounds like a jet engine, or shuts itself off under load.

What this part fixes:

• Console overheating and shutting down during gameplay
• Extremely loud fan noise (grinding, rattling, or high-pitched whine)
• Fan spinning at maximum speed constantly, even at idle
• Fan not spinning or spinning intermittently
• Console entering thermal protection mode (beeps and shuts off)
• Preventive maintenance on aging PS4 hardware

Compatibility:

Key features:

• Direct-fit replacement — Designed to match original mounting points, connector, and blade geometry of the PS4 fat cooling fan
• Effective heat dissipation — Restores full airflow through the PS4 heatsink and chassis exhaust vents
• Balanced metal mounting plate — Precision-notched metal base improves balance retention and reduces vibration during operation
• Durable construction — Metal and ABS plastic hybrid build for long service life
• Lightweight design — Easy to install without additional tools beyond standard PS4 disassembly kit

Technical specs:

• Type: Single-acting internal axial cooling fan
• Materials: Metal + ABS plastic
• Application: APU/CPU/GPU heat dissipation
• Compatible models: PS4 CUH-1000X and CUH-1100X (universal fit), PS4 CUH-1200X (dedicated variant)
• Connector: Proprietary PS4 fan connector (3-pin)

Package includes:

• 1x Internal cooling fan for PS4 original (fat) console

⚠️ Important notes:

• Select the correct model variant before ordering — CUH-1000/1100 share a universal fan, while CUH-1200 uses a slightly different fan. Confirm your PS4 model on the label on the back of the console
• Not compatible with PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro — those models use different fan designs, sizes, and connectors
• Full PS4 disassembly required for installation — T8 and T9 Torx screwdrivers needed
• Strongly recommended: apply fresh thermal paste to the APU during fan replacement, as the console will already be fully disassembled — this maximizes the effectiveness of the repair
• Console is not included
