Going to buy a used PS4 of the 1st generation from a friend - Can these old models get some kind of YLOD?

I’d be more worried about how he lives. Everyone has a different definition of “loud”. But if you thought it was loud a few years ago, I’d be worried about stuff like: does he smoke? cigs? Weed? That’ll kill your fan. Is he clean about ash trays and dusting in general?

Animals? Cats that sit on the tv shelf near the ps4? A lizard tank creating heat next to PS4?

Does he cook with a lot of grease? Near the PS4?

And mostly: has he been doing regular cleanings since he bought it?

But saying all that: The PS4 is supposed to be pretty good about shutting down safely if it detects it’s own overheating.

And it’s fairly easy to clean, with video tutorials everywhere.

(I don’t know anything about yrod)
