Warning: I saw a PS4 at a local repair shop get fried because someone skipped the thermal paste step.

I'm torn between thinking a full teardown for new paste is always needed and just cleaning the fan vents, so what's your take on when a deep clean becomes overkill?

Ever see a console shut down from just dust? I learned the hard way that a full repaste every few years is cheap insurance, because gunked up vents only fix half the problem.

Seriously, @christopherwilliams, how many consoles are actually dying from old paste versus just needing a good dusting?
