How to Fix Sony PS5 Overheating- Liquid Metal Thermal Compound Replacement

[@danielweiss4498]

I think your mistake is that you only did one side with liquid metal, officially it says you should do both sides with liquid metal

[@dackselectronicrepair]

I have found that you it is better to just do the motherboard side. It has the foam walls that make sure it doesn't leak onto any other components when resandwiching the cooler back on. Everything stays where it should. I do make sure the cooling pad side does not have an oxidation on it so it transfers the heat properly.

Do I need to change the liquid thermal pads?

[@dackselectronicrepair]

Do you mean do you have to remove the old liquid metal? If so, no you do not.

That is all I want from my videos, not to help or share knowledge, but to make people almost poop their pants. Almost though, not actually poop, I am not a monster.

Many years ago my buddy and I would play some madden football game on PS1. PS would overheat and game would freeze. That's when we would put it in the freezer and go smoke a bowl. Start over, ps be ok rest of the night.😂

Yep this is the PS5 version of freezer and smoke a bowl!
