We also provide complementary services such as PS5 liquid metal replacement, PS5 cleaning service, PS5 overheating repair and fan cleaning for the full PlayStation family, including PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models.
PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Liquid metal thermal interface compounds are increasingly used in PS5 and other high-performance consoles to improve heat transfer between the SoC and the heatsink. At Moe Repair we perform safe liquid metal replacement and inspection, ensuring the compound is applied correctly and isolated from other PCB components. Liquid metal can dramatically reduce operating temperatures when applied correctly, but it requires skilled technicians to avoid short circuits or damage to surrounding components.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is one of the most common causes of overheating and loud fan noise in gaming consoles. Our console cleaning and dust removal service includes:
- Careful disassembly of the chassis and heatsink
- Compressed air dust removal and precision vacuuming
- Removal of obstructive debris from vents and intakes
- Inspection and cleaning of fans and heat pipes
- Reassembly and thermal performance testing
This service is essential for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S owners, as well as PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro users who want to prevent dust-related performance issues.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating can present as throttled performance, graphical stutter, frequent crashes, or sudden shutdowns. Common overheating repair steps we perform at Moe Repair include:
- Full diagnostic testing and temperature logging
- Fan cleaning and replacement if bearings or blades are damaged
- Thermal paste replacement on CPU/GPU/SoC (including Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement)
- Inspection and replacement of thermal pads or liquid metal for PS5 models
- Firmware and power delivery checks to rule out non-thermal causes
Our goal is to get your console running cool and quiet again so you can enjoy uninterrupted gaming sessions.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
Watch for these signs that indicate your Xbox Series X or PS5 needs attention:
- Loud fan noise that persists even under light load
- Overheating during gameplay or streaming
- Random shutdowns or restarts
- Reduced performance or frequent frame drops
- Visible dust build-up in vents or on external surfaces
If you live in Coquitlam, Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster or Maple Ridge and notice any of these symptoms, bring your console to Moe Repair for a professional evaluation.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Thermal management is more than just keeping fans quiet. Proper heat transfer from the CPU/GPU to the heatsink ensures sustained performance, prevents thermal throttling, and reduces the risk of hardware failure. Over time, thermal paste degrades, dries out and loses conductivity. Replacing old or compromised thermal paste on the Xbox Series X is a cost-effective way to:
- Lower operating temperatures
- Reduce fan speed and associated noise
- Prevent random shutdowns caused by overheating
- Improve long-term reliability and component lifespan
We use high-quality thermal pastes and, where appropriate for PS5 models, correctly applied liquid metal to maximize thermal conductivity while protecting surrounding electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Xbox Series X needs thermal paste replacement?
If your console runs very hot, the fan is louder than normal, you experience performance drops, or it shuts down unexpectedly, thermal paste degradation could be a cause. Our diagnostic includes temperature logging so we can confirm.
Can you replace thermal paste on PS5 and use liquid metal?
Yes. We perform both thermal paste replacement and liquid metal application for PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models where appropriate. Liquid metal offers superior thermal conductivity but must be applied by experienced technicians to avoid risks.
How long does a thermal service take?
Typical thermal paste replacement and cleaning takes 1–3 business days depending on workload. If the job requires parts (like a replacement fan) the timeline may be slightly longer. We provide ETA at drop-off.
Do you offer a warranty on thermal paste replacement?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a limited warranty on thermal services and cleaning. Warranty details are provided with your service receipt.
Do you service consoles from Burnaby and surrounding cities?
Absolutely. Customers from Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge regularly bring consoles to our Coquitlam shop. We also advise on safe shipping if you’re located further away.
Real Repair Example
Case: A PS5 arrived at our Coquitlam shop with frequent overheating and random shutdowns during extended sessions. Symptoms included audible fan ramp-up after only 15–20 minutes of gameplay, temperature spikes recorded in logs, and visible dust accumulation around the intake vents.
Diagnostic process: We performed a full visual inspection and thermal log under controlled load. The internal heat sink had a dust layer that reduced airflow and the factory thermal interface showed signs of aging. The console had intermittent GPU thermal throttling readings.
Repair steps: We carefully disassembled the PS5, performed a deep dust removal and fan cleaning, inspected fan bearings and replaced a slightly noisy fan. We removed the old thermal interface compound, evaluated the contact surfaces and applied a controlled liquid metal replacement on the SoC where appropriate. We also cleaned and replaced deteriorated thermal pads on surrounding components.
Final outcome: Post-service tests showed a 10–15°C reduction in peak temperatures and sustained stable frame rates without throttling. The fan remained quiet under moderate load, and the client reported no further shutdowns after a week of heavy use. The repair restored performance and extended the console’s reliable service life.
