@castro-mur268 how do you know its overheating out of curiosity?
Have you tried any troubleshooting incase that helps?

Just to let you know. For the past week I've been going through some rough patches with my ps4 pro. Previously to disassembling it I could hear the fan ramp up extremely loud, it didn't overheat but it was loud and beeing a 3 year old machine I decided to give it a good clean up and some new thermal paste.
Now this point is crucial. The thermal paste needs to be the best thermal paste that you can find. Before using the Arctic mx4 I used pastes with lower thermal conductivity and it overheated. The ps4 pro is a system that has too much power for the cooling system that comes with. So the thermal pastes come with different thermal conductivity and it is measured in W/mk. I don't know which is the lowest conductivity that can withstand but to make sure just go with the best paste that you can find. For me the arctic mx4 worked like a charm and it has 8.5W/mk. Before applying it I could make it to the lobby of Warzone without overheating and shutting down.
If you can also apply new thermal pads to the vram, I used the ones that have 1mm of thickness.
Always clean everything with isopropyl alcohol and qtips.
Hope that it helps
You may be right. Will try this with generic paste first mx too expensive here
