PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Liquid metal replacement is an advanced thermal service that replaces the factory thermal interface material (TIM) with a higher-performance liquid metal compound. On some PS5 models the stock thermal paste can dry out, or factory applications may be insufficient, leading to increased CPU and GPU temperatures. A professional PS5 liquid metal replacement improves thermal conductivity between the die and heatsink, reducing peak temperatures and helping stabilize performance.
At Moe Repair we follow strict protocols for liquid metal application, including full disassembly, die cleaning, coolant-safe handling of components, and a non-conductive underfill where appropriate to protect sensitive components. We recommend this service for high-use consoles, competitive players, and those experiencing thermal throttling or repeated shutdowns on PS5, PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro units.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is one of the most common causes of overheating and loud fans. Our PS5 cleaning service includes complete disassembly, vacuum and compressed-air dust removal, and targeted cleaning of heatsinks, vents and fan assemblies. We remove accumulated dust from intake filters and internal channels on both standard PS5 models and newer Slim/Pro variants.
A proper cleaning improves airflow and reduces the workload on the fan, often resolving loud fan noise and reducing temperatures by several degrees. We also offer preventative maintenance plans for customers in Coquitlam and nearby suburbs to keep consoles running quietly and efficiently year-round.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating can present as thermal throttling, artifacting, random shutdowns, or decreased frame rates during intense gaming sessions. When diagnosing overheating we run stress tests and temperature monitoring, inspect the thermal interface material, check fan function, and test power delivery components. For many PS5 overheating repairs the solution is a combination of deep cleaning, fan cleaning or replacement, and thermal rework — which may include a liquid metal replacement for optimal results.
We also repair related issues on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Overheating symptoms are often similar across modern consoles and benefit from the same careful diagnostic approach: clean, test, and repair.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
- Loud or unusually high fan noise during light use
- Random shutdowns or restarts while gaming
- Persistent overheating warnings or high temperature readings
- Reduced performance, stuttering or frame drops
- Visible dust at vents or poor airflow
If you notice any of these signs on your PS5, PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro, bring your console to Moe Repair in Coquitlam. Early intervention prevents further damage and often avoids expensive board-level repairs.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Effective thermal management protects the CPU and GPU from sustained high temperatures that can accelerate wear and cause solder joint failures, SSD performance degradation, and reduced lifespan. Liquid metal replacement is not a universal requirement, but when applied correctly it offers significantly better heat transfer than conventional pastes. Our approach balances thermal gains with safety: we only recommend liquid metal when the benefit outweighs the risk and after evaluating the console’s condition.
Thermal upgrades and proper airflow reduce fan workload, extend the life of internal components, and keep your system running at peak performance during long sessions. Whether you play on PS5, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro or an Xbox Series console, good thermal management improves both reliability and user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is liquid metal replacement safe for my PS5?
When applied by a trained technician, liquid metal replacement is safe and effective. Moe Repair uses best practices to prevent spills and ensure proper insulation. We assess each PS5 model (including PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro) to confirm it’s a suitable candidate.
How long does a PS5 cleaning and liquid metal service take?
Typical cleaning and diagnostic services can be completed in 1–3 business days depending on workload. Liquid metal replacement requires additional curing and testing time; expect 2–5 business days in most cases. Rush options may be available—call to discuss.
Will liquid metal void my warranty?
Removing the factory seal or opening the console may void manufacturer warranty. If your PS5 is still under warranty, we recommend checking Sony’s terms. We can perform less invasive cleaning services that may address issues without warranty-impacting work.
Can you fix loud fans without liquid metal?
Yes. Many loud fan issues are resolved with thorough dust removal, fan cleaning, lubrication or replacement, and restoring proper airflow. Liquid metal is an option when temperatures remain high after standard maintenance.
Do you service consoles from outside Coquitlam?
Yes. We serve customers throughout the Lower Mainland including Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge. Local pickup/delivery options may be available—please contact Moe Repair for details.
Real Repair Example
Case: A PS5 from Port Moody arrived with loud fan noise, periodic shutdowns, and elevated temperature readings during gameplay. Initial diagnostics included temperature logging and a stress test which reproduced the shutdown after 15–20 minutes.
We disassembled the console and found significant dust accumulation across the fan blades and heatsink channels and partially dried thermal paste on the CPU. The fan bearings showed mild wear. We performed a full dust removal, cleaned the fan and heatsink fins, replaced the fan bearing assembly, and cleaned the CPU die with isopropyl alcohol. Given the age and usage pattern, we recommended a liquid metal replacement to improve thermal transfer.
After carefully applying liquid metal and installing a non-conductive underfill around sensitive areas, we reassembled the unit and ran stress tests. Peak temperatures dropped by 8–12°C and the console completed long sessions without shutdowns. Fan speeds stabilized and were significantly quieter under equivalent loads. The customer reported smoother gameplay and no further thermal shutdowns after two weeks of follow-up.
