About PS5 liquid metal & thermal service
Unlike older consoles, the PS5 uses liquid metal between its processor and heatsink. It is an excellent conductor of heat but, over years of heating and cooling, it can thin out, pump away from the chip or in some cases migrate onto the board, where it can cause shorts because it conducts electricity.
Our liquid-metal service removes the old compound completely, inspects the processor and surrounding board for migration, re-applies new liquid metal with an intact insulating barrier, and replaces the thermal pads on the memory and power components. It is the single best preventive service for a PS5 that is a few years old.
Symptoms we fix
- Rising temperatures and fan noise despite the vents being clean
- Console more than 2–3 years old and never serviced
- Thermal shutdowns during games
- Console was stored or moved on its side frequently
- Preventive service before selling or passing on the console
Common causes
- Natural pump-out of liquid metal over thousands of heat cycles
- Damaged or missing insulating barrier around the processor
- Previous repair that replaced liquid metal with ordinary paste
- Dried or compressed thermal pads on memory and power stages

PS5 Liquid Metal & Thermal Service FAQs
Can liquid metal really damage a PS5?
If it migrates off the processor it can bridge components on the board. We see it occasionally in consoles that have been heavily used or moved around a lot. Inspecting it before that happens is the point of this service.
Why not use normal thermal paste?
The PS5 cooler is designed around liquid metal's much higher conductivity. Ordinary paste runs noticeably hotter. We only re-apply liquid metal.
Does this void my warranty?
If your console is still under Sony's warranty we recommend using that first. Most consoles we service are outside their warranty period.
