We serve gamers across Coquitlam and nearby communities including Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge.
PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
One of the most effective upgrades and repairs for PS5 thermal issues is liquid metal thermal interface replacement. Over time factory thermal paste can dry out, especially under heavy load or in dusty environments. We inspect the system, safely remove the heatsink, clean the CPU and GPU surfaces, and apply a high-quality liquid metal compound when appropriate. Liquid metal provides superior thermal conductivity which can reduce temperatures by several degrees and reduce fan speed and noise.
Liquid metal replacement requires careful handling: it conducts electricity and must be applied by an experienced technician to avoid short circuits or mounting issues. At Moe Repair we follow manufacturer-safe practices and test thoroughly after installation to ensure stability on PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is one of the main causes of poor thermal performance and loud fan noise. Our PS5 cleaning service Coquitlam includes:
- Full external and internal dust removal
- Fan cleaning and bearings check
- Heatsink and vent cleaning
- Debris removal from optical bay and ports
- Inspection of internal thermal paste and liquid metal condition
Cleaning is done using anti-static tools, compressed air at controlled pressure, and microscopic inspection to ensure we remove hair, pet fur, and fine dust that accumulates in homes and gaming rooms. We provide the same deep-clean for Xbox Series X and S consoles when requested.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating manifests as loud fans, dropped performance, graphical glitching, and even random shutdowns. Our overheating repair process starts with a full diagnostic to identify the cause: clogged vents, failed fan bearings, dried thermal paste, or bad thermal pads. After diagnostics we present repair options which may include cleaning, fan replacement, new thermal paste or liquid metal replacement, and in rare cases motherboard-level repairs.
We prioritize minimally invasive repairs where possible, returning your console to optimal thermal management without unnecessary parts replacement. For persistent thermal issues on PS5 Pro and older PS5 units we may recommend a liquid metal refresh combined with fan servicing.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
Watch for these clear indicators that your PS5 cleaning service Coquitlam is overdue:
- Loud fan noise even during light play or the dashboard
- Console running hotter than usual or feeling warm to the touch
- Random shutdowns or forced reboots
- Reduced frame rate or throttled performance in demanding games
- Visible dust coming from vents or blocked air paths
If you notice any of the above, bring your console to Moe Repair for a professional assessment. Addressing these issues early prevents long-term damage.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Thermal management is the difference between a console that performs consistently and one that slowly degrades. Proper cooling keeps the CPU and GPU within safe operating temperatures, preventing thermal throttling and protecting solder joints and other components from heat stress. Regular fan cleaning, replacement of dried thermal paste or upgrading to liquid metal on compatible PS5 models dramatically improves heat transfer and reduces fan RPMs during gaming sessions.
Good airflow management is also crucial. We advise on placement and setup at home — avoid enclosed cabinets, provide a few inches of clearance around vents, and consider cleaning intervals based on your environment (pets, carpets and open windows increase dust).

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my PS5 cleaned?
For most households once every 12 months is sufficient. If you have pets, heavy smoking, carpets, or run the console in dusty rooms, consider cleaning every 6-9 months to prevent dust buildup and overheating.
Is liquid metal replacement safe for my PS5?
When applied by an experienced technician, liquid metal is safe and effective. It offers better heat transfer than standard paste but must be applied carefully because it is electrically conductive. We follow strict protocols to protect solder and nearby components.
Will cleaning my PS5 fix random shutdowns?
Often yes — many random shutdowns are triggered by overheating due to dust-clogged vents or failing fans. A full diagnostic and cleaning frequently resolves shutdowns, but we also check power delivery and the motherboard if the issue persists.
Can you service PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models?
Yes. We service all PS5 variants, including PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro, with tailored cleaning and thermal solutions for each chassis design.
Do you offer on-site repairs or only in-shop service?
We primarily operate from our Coquitlam repair center for accurate diagnostics and controlled repairs. For businesses or unusual circumstances we can discuss options, but most gaming console repairs require in-shop attention.
Real Repair Example
Case: A customer from Port Moody brought in a PS5 Pro reporting loud fan noise, stuttering during long sessions and occasional random shutdowns. Diagnostic process:
- Initial visual inspection: heavy dust accumulation in intake vents and a visible hairball trapped behind the intake fan.
- Log-based stress test: confirmed thermal throttling and elevated fan RPMs under load. No immediate motherboard error codes.
- Disassembly: removed outer panels and carefully extracted fan assembly. Cleaned fan blades and bearings, removed obstructing debris, and cleaned heatsink channels with controlled compressed air and alcohol swabs.
- Thermal interface inspection: heatsink and CPU showed signs of old, dried thermal paste. We removed the old compound, cleaned the surfaces, and evaluated the mounting pressure and contact plane.
- Liquid metal decision: given the persistent high core temperatures and the customer’s desire for a long-term fix, we recommended liquid metal replacement. We applied a small, precise application of liquid metal to the CPU die and ensured no spillover. We also installed non-conductive metal shims where required by model tolerances.
- Reassembly and testing: reassembled the PS5 Pro, performed extended stress and burn-in tests, monitored thermals and fan RPM, and verified stable operation without shutdowns.
Outcome: Core temperatures dropped by an average of 8–12°C under load, fan noise reduced significantly, game performance stabilized with no further random shutdowns. The customer was able to return to uninterrupted play and we provided care instructions and a follow-up window for a free thermal check.
