PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Liquid metal thermal interface material (TIM) is used in some high-end consoles and custom repairs because it offers superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional thermal paste. At Moe Repair we provide careful PS5 liquid metal replacement as part of advanced thermal management services. Liquid metal must be applied precisely and isolated from electrical components because it is electrically conductive. Our technicians have 15+ years of experience at Moe Repair handling sensitive TIM applications on PS5, PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro systems, ensuring long-term stability and cooler operating temperatures.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is the most common cause of overheating and loud fans. Our cleaning service includes full disassembly, thorough dust removal using safe anti-static methods, and targeted cleaning of vents, heatsinks, and fan housings. For Xbox Series X consoles we remove trapped dust in the vapor chamber and around the fan shroud; for PS5 models we also inspect the blower assembly and vents. Regular cleaning prevents thermal throttling, reduces noise, and extends console lifespan.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating can present as frequent crashes, sudden shutdowns, reduced frame rates, and loud fans running at full speed. Our console overheating repair process begins with diagnostics to identify whether the root cause is dust buildup, degraded thermal paste, failing fans, or a more serious component fault. In many Xbox Series X cases a thermal paste replacement restores proper heat transfer to the heatsink or vapor chamber and eliminates thermal throttling.
We provide thermal paste replacement and, where appropriate, liquid metal application, fan cleaning or replacement, and reflow thermal pad inspection. We guarantee proper reassembly and test each console under load to confirm stable temperatures and improved performance.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
- Consistent loud fan noise even with light usage
- Random shutdowns during gameplay
- Reduced performance or frame drops in titles you previously ran smoothly
- Excess heat around vents or case surfaces
- Visible dust buildup in vents or on fans
If you live in Coquitlam, Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster or Maple Ridge and notice these issues, bring your console to Moe Repair for a fast diagnosis. We also handle associated problems such as disc drive issues, power faults, or HDMI output failures.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Proper thermal management keeps a console running at its designed performance level and protects internal components from heat-related damage. Over time thermal paste can dry out or pump out, and dust will restrict airflow. Replacing old thermal paste or applying liquid metal when appropriate improves heat transfer away from CPUs and GPUs, reducing the chance of thermal throttling, loud fans, or permanent component degradation.
At Moe Repair we evaluate whether a conventional high-quality thermal paste or a liquid metal upgrade is the right choice for your console model. For Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement Coquitlam customers, we typically recommend a high-performance, non-conductive paste unless liquid metal is explicitly requested and safely contained.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an Xbox Series X thermal paste replacement take?
Typical turnaround is 1-3 business days depending on workload and whether additional parts like a fan replacement are required. We test under load to confirm stable temperatures before returning the console.
Is liquid metal safe for my PS5?
Liquid metal offers excellent thermal performance but is electrically conductive and must be applied by an experienced technician. For PS5 models we ensure isolation of contacts and use retention methods to prevent migration. We only recommend liquid metal when the benefits outweigh the risks.
Will cleaning my console void the warranty?
Opening consoles can affect manufacturer warranties. We advise customers to check their warranty status before service. For out-of-warranty or older consoles, professional cleaning and thermal services can significantly extend usable life and performance.
How can I reduce fan noise at home?
Ensure proper ventilation, keep the console elevated with clear airflow, and clean surrounding dust. If noise persists, bring the console in for fan cleaning, bearing lubrication or replacement, and thermal paste inspection.

Yes. We serve Coquitlam and nearby communities including Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge. Call 778-951-4872 or contact Moe Repair to arrange service or pickup.
Real Repair Example
Case: A PS5 Pro arrived at Moe Repair from a customer in Port Moody complaining of loud fan noise, frequent random shutdowns during gameplay, and a noticeable drop in frame rates. Diagnostic steps we performed:
- Initial visual inspection showed heavy dust accumulation in the intake vents and fan housing.
- We ran a thermal logging session to capture temperatures and fan RPM under load, confirming the console was reaching thermal throttle points shortly after startup.
- Full disassembly allowed inspection of the heatsink and CPU/GPU contact area. We found dried thermal paste and particulate contamination on the heatsink fins.
- After carefully cleaning all dust and debris using compressed air (ESD-safe) and a soft brush, we removed the old TIM, inspected the die surfaces, and evaluated the heatsink for micro-damage.
- Because the PS5 Pro in question had been previously modified and the customer wanted the best cooling, we recommended liquid metal replacement. We masked all conductive areas, applied a micro-thin, professionally mixed liquid metal layer, and installed high-quality thermal pads where required.
- Reassembly and a controlled stress test showed a 10–15°C reduction in peak temperatures, fans running at lower RPM, no random shutdowns, and stable frame rates restored to prior levels.
Outcome: The customer from Port Moody left a positive review noting the quieter operation and longer play sessions without crashes. This example illustrates how combined dust removal, precise TIM work, and proper reassembly solve complex thermal problems.
