[Horizon0D]

one day I will when the ps4 is so bad that you can no longer play
what screwdrivers will i need?
iIn a Chinese shop I found a set of tipsand together with the spikes there was a handle
I toured the set
behind the set are the names of the tips
it said T8
are there different T8s?
if I buy the set then can I unscrew them T8 torx screws?
as thermal paste i put arctic mx 4
where do they sell it? do computer stores sell it?

There's security torn which have a hole in the middle. I've never opened a ps4 though.

I have open my ps4 twice, one time to fix the disc drive and another to replace the thermal paste ( I used grizzly). I used the ifixit guide.

Best for you to get a precision screw driver set

That stuff is no good for gaming consoles. Get IC Diamond or Kryonaut if you want it to last for several years and not pump out.
