Your PS5 shuts down mid-game, runs extremely hot, or the fan is deafeningly loud. These are all signs of overheating — caused by dust buildup in the fan and heatsink, or degraded Liquid Metal thermal paste on the CPU.
Your PS5 shuts down mid-game, runs extremely hot, or the fan is deafeningly loud. These are all signs of overheating — caused by dust buildup in the fan and heatsink, or degraded Liquid Metal thermal paste on the CPU.
We perform a full PS5 deep clean and Liquid Metal thermal paste re-application — the only permanent fix for PS5 overheating. This includes complete disassembly, thorough dust removal from the fan and heatsink, and fresh Liquid Metal compound applied to the main CPU. Your PS5 will run cooler and quieter than it has in years.
We assess fan noise, temperature behaviour and dust level before confirming the repair approach.
The PS5 is completely disassembled — outer shell, fan, heatsink and all internal components removed.
Every surface is cleaned — fan blades, heatsink fins, vents and board areas — using compressed air and specialist brushes.
Old degraded thermal compound is removed from the CPU and fresh Liquid Metal paste applied precisely.
The PS5 is reassembled and run under load to confirm temperatures are normal before return.
While your PS5 is in, we can check everything else too.
PS5 overheating is caused by dust buildup in the cooling system or degraded Liquid Metal thermal paste on the CPU — which dries out over time. Both reduce heat dissipation efficiency.
In most cases yes — a professional deep clean with fresh Liquid Metal re-paste permanently fixes PS5 overheating. DIY cleaning without replacing the thermal paste usually only partially solves the issue.
