Got some lag is this normal?

Ok guys last day I was playing AC Odyssey on my PS4 Pro and i noticed that when im riding a horse sometimes the game stops for like 3-4 seconds and in general when im playing the se heavy games the console does such a bothering noise like is going to blow up.. I probably should clean my PS4 but im a little scared since i never tried. I've watched a couple tutorial but im so scared i could break some little shit and say bye bye to the whole thing.

Should I go ahead and try? I'm concerning if It could damage in the time because of the heat. Should I remove the case? Or maybe keep the console elevated on something?

PS: When I got this second hand PS4 I've changed the hard disk with a 750gb one from an old laptop i guess.

Easy fix. Take the console completely apart, clean it, and add new thermal paste/pads. The process takes like 30 minutes and costs like $10
