PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Liquid metal replacement is a high-impact thermal upgrade that can dramatically improve heat transfer from the PS5 CPU and GPU to the cooling assembly. Unlike traditional thermal paste, liquid metal (a gallium-based alloy) offers superior thermal conductivity, which lowers operating temperatures and helps control fan speed and acoustic noise.
Important: liquid metal is conductive and must be applied by experienced technicians. At Moe Repair we evaluate each PS5 model—PS5, PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro—before recommending liquid metal. Our process includes full disassembly, cleaning of the original thermal interface material, careful application of liquid metal with protective isolation of surrounding components, reassembly, and stress testing to ensure stability without shorts or corrosion.
We also inspect thermal pads and heat pipes and replace any damaged components. For consoles still under limited warranty, we discuss trade-offs with the owner before proceeding.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is the most common cause of overheating and loud fan noise. Dust accumulates in vents, on fan blades, over heat sinks, and around airflow channels, restricting cooling and forcing fans to spin faster. Our PS5 cleaning service in Coquitlam includes:
- Full exterior and interior cleaning using anti-static tools
- Precision fan cleaning and bearing inspection
- Compressed-air-safe dust removal of vents and heat sinks
- Cleaning or replacement of clogged filters and vents
- Thermal paste or liquid metal refresh if needed
We also offer preventative maintenance plans for gamers in Coquitlam who want to avoid recurring issues. Regular fan cleaning and dust removal can extend console lifespan and improve performance during long sessions.
Console Overheating Repair
When a PS5 shows overheating symptoms we perform a systematic diagnostic workflow: firmware and system checks, temperature logging, fan RPM analysis, and physical inspection for dust or damaged fans. Overheating repairs typically include fan cleaning, replacement of faulty fans, thermal compound replacement, and sometimes liquid metal replacement or thermal pad swaps.
Symptoms we commonly resolve include loud fan noise, thermal throttling (reduced frame rates), random shutdowns, system warnings about temperature, and visible performance issues. Our repair workflow minimizes risk to internal components and verifies thermal stability with prolonged stress tests before returning the console to you.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
- Loud, high-pitched, or grinding fan noise during play
- Frequent overheating warnings or automatic shutdowns
- Reduced performance, stuttering, or frame drops during games
- Visible dust at vents or unusual heat from the chassis
- Longer than normal fan spin-up times or fans that don’t spin consistently
If you notice any of these signs in your PS5, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S, bring the unit to our shop in Coquitlam or contact Moe Repair for an assessment. Ignoring early signs of dust buildup and thermal stress can lead to permanent hardware damage.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Proper thermal management keeps your console performing as intended. Heat affects CPU and GPU clock speeds, memory stability, and long-term reliability. When thermal design is compromised (by dust, dried thermal paste, or degraded thermal pads), the system compensates by increasing fan speed and reducing performance to prevent damage. This results in louder operation and a poorer gaming experience.
We focus on restoring airflow, replacing degraded thermal interface material, and optimizing cooling to reduce fan RPM and noise. This includes inspecting fans for worn bearings, aligning heatsinks, and when appropriate, precise liquid metal application to maximize thermal conductivity for high-end units like the PS5 Pro.

Real Repair Example
Case: A PS5 owner in Port Moody brought in a PS5 experiencing loud fan noise, frequent pop-up thermal warnings, and occasional random shutdowns after long play sessions. The symptoms suggested restricted airflow and high core temperatures.
Diagnosis: At Moe Repair we recorded temperature logs during a controlled stress test, observed fan RPM spikes, and inspected the internals. The chassis had significant dust buildup around the intake vents, the fan blades were dirty and slightly imbalanced, and the thermal paste had dried and pulled away from the CPU/GPU contact areas. The heat sink surface also had residue from previous inferior paste applications.
Repair: We performed a full disassembly and ultrasonic-safe cleaning of the fan assembly, removed dust from the heat sink fins, and cleaned the motherboard and power delivery areas. After cleaning, we applied a high-quality thermal paste to both chips and replaced worn thermal pads on memory modules. Because the owner requested maximum thermal performance and acceptable risk, we recommended a liquid metal replacement on the CPU/GPU contact area; after explaining the conductive risks and offering a limited service warranty, the owner consented. We isolated surrounding components with non-conductive barriers, applied liquid metal precisely, reassembled, and ran extended thermal and stability tests.
Outcome: Post-repair roofline temperatures dropped by an average of 8–12°C under load, fan RPMs stayed lower and more consistent, loud fan noise was eliminated, and the console no longer experienced random shutdowns. The owner reported noticeably improved frame-rate stability during long sessions and quieter operation overall.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my PS5 cleaned?
For most households, a professional cleaning every 12–18 months is adequate. Homes with pets or heavy dust may benefit from service every 6–9 months.
Is liquid metal safe for my PS5?
Liquid metal offers superior thermal performance but is conductive and requires an experienced technician to apply it safely. We recommend it on older or high-use consoles where thermal performance is a priority and after discussing warranty implications.
Will cleaning void my manufacturer’s warranty?
Opening a console typically impacts manufacturer warranty. We always inform customers of warranty considerations and provide options. For out-of-warranty units we perform full-service cleaning and upgrades. If your device is under warranty, contact us to discuss non-invasive options or authorized service paths.
How long does a typical cleaning and thermal repair take?
Standard cleaning and diagnostics usually take 1–2 business days. More involved jobs like liquid metal replacement and extended stress testing can take 2–4 business days depending on workload and parts availability.
Do you service other devices besides consoles?
Yes. We offer computer repair, laptop repair, and MacBook repair services in Coquitlam. Check our pages for computer repair in Coquitlam, laptop repair in Coquitlam, and MacBook repair in Coquitlam for details.
