The PS4 gets maybe two square inches' worth of surface intake using a puny laptop fan and heatsink for primary cooling of the APU and the memory modules, after which said fan is supposed to pump all of that hot air through the integrated PSU and out the back of the case, right below the main ports on the console. The socket type is BGA and modern consoles use a custom APU from AMD, hence why finding an actual cooler is so difficult. I should have clarified, I'm more or less using this as a test case for when I have to buy a replacement down the road. The problem with such an investment is that I have no idea what the extent of the damage is on the existing chipsets and such wasting around $60 bare minimum on something that might still die with its current damage isn't exactly viable.
