Super Loud but clean?

I have taken apart my PS4 to see if it was real dusty inside and see if there was something preventing air from circulating in it. I couldn’t see anything The fan gets super loud whenever I load up a game and it gets in a graphics intensive area. (MLB the show, when you’re at the stadiums).

I didn’t take off the heat sink.. that’s my only other assumption? Maybe the thermal compound is going bad on the system and it’s getting too hot? (The shell doesn’t really feel very hot though)

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Yes No

What type of environment is the PS4 in? I have had similar issues due to lack of air circulation and humidity in the air over extended periods. Also is that the only game where you see this behavior?

It's with multiple games. NHL, RDR2, FIFA. It's in an open area and the air circulation in the room/ around the system is good. I live in New York so we don't know what humidity is here, haha.
