PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Although this page focuses on Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement, we also perform advanced PS5 liquid metal replacement for PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro consoles. Liquid metal is a high-performance thermal interface material that can dramatically reduce temperatures when applied correctly, but it requires experienced technicians due to conductivity and application risk. At Moe Repair we offer a full PS5 liquid metal replacement service that includes cleaning, safe application, and verification under load to ensure improved thermal performance without introducing electrical risk.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is one of the most common causes of thermal issues across all console models including PS5, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Our cleaning service includes careful disassembly, compressed-air dust removal, fan cleaning, heat sink inspection, and reassembly. Many consoles brought in from Coquitlam and surrounding areas show significant dust accumulation in air channels and fan assemblies — a straightforward dust removal can bring temperatures down by 8–15°C and stop loud fans.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating manifests as loud fan noise, throttled performance, graphical stutters, and random shutdowns. For Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement in Coquitlam we follow a step-by-step diagnostic routine: temperature logging, visual inspection for dust and corrosion, fan and bearing checks, thermal pad and paste condition assessment, and firmware checks. Repairs may include fan cleaning or replacement, new thermal paste or pads, and advanced cooling upgrades where appropriate.
Real repair example — PS5 overheating case study: A customer from Port Coquitlam brought in a PS5 exhibiting frequent shutdowns and very loud fan noise. Diagnostics showed elevated CPU temperatures and heavy dust buildup in the fan and heat sink cavity. We performed a full cleaning, removed old thermal compound, inspected the liquid metal application (originally factory-applied), re-applied a high-quality liquid metal replacement to the IHS, replaced degraded thermal pads on VRM areas, and reassembled. After the repair we ran extended stress tests: temperatures dropped by roughly 14°C under load, fan RPMs were lower, and the unit no longer shut down randomly. The customer reported improved performance during long gaming sessions and a much quieter console.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
- Loud, high-pitched or continuously spinning fans
- Frequent thermal shutdowns or sudden power-offs
- Severe performance drops or stuttering mid-session
- Excessive dust coming from vents
- Heat felt at the case surface or around vents
If you notice any of these symptoms with your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S — or with PS5, PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro — bring your console to Moe Repair in Coquitlam for a full inspection and thermal service.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Thermal management is the foundation of console longevity and performance. Over time thermal paste dries out, thermal pads compress, and dust accumulates — these combine to reduce heat transfer efficiency and force fans to work harder. Proper maintenance (thermal paste replacement, liquid metal when appropriate, fan cleaning, dust removal) prevents long-term component degradation and improves game stability, frame rates, and overall reliability.
For Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement in Coquitlam we only use quality thermal compounds suited to the gaming workload. For PS5 liquid metal services we use industry-grade, properly insulated applications and protective steps around conductive media. Our process emphasizes safety and measurable results: before-and-after temperature logs, fan noise comparisons, and stress testing to confirm the issue is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement take?
Turnaround is typically 2–4 business days depending on workload. This includes diagnostics, full disassembly, paste replacement, thermal testing, and reassembly.
Is liquid metal safe for PS5 repairs?
Yes, when applied by experienced technicians using proper protection and insulation. Liquid metal conductively transfers heat well but must be handled carefully to avoid shorts. We offer both standard high-performance paste and liquid metal options for PS5 models.
Will cleaning my console void the warranty?
Opening a console may affect manufacturer warranty. For out-of-warranty consoles or when warranty coverage has expired, our service is appropriate. We always discuss warranty implications before proceeding.
Can dust removal fix loud fan noise?
Often, yes. Dust and debris cause stalled or unbalanced fans which increase noise. Cleaning and bearing lubrication or fan replacement as needed will typically restore normal sound levels.
Do you offer pickup or drop-off for customers in Maple Ridge or Burnaby?
We support local pickup and drop-off arrangements for certain cases; call ahead to coordinate. Many customers from Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge bring consoles directly to our Coquitlam shop.
