Playstation constantly overheating when booting

I've had my PS4 pro for a long time now and whenever I boot up it makes really loud noise that feels like a jet engine and whenever I play any game it says your PS4 is too hot and I should close it and open it when it's not hot, how do I fix this.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi!

It's probably for the best to open your Playstation 4 Pro and get rid of the dust inside!

While you are there, it's recommended to replace the thermal pads and thermal paste for optimal performance!
