PS5 overheating repair in North Providence, RI
The PS5 uses a liquid-metal compound on its APU, and as dust packs the heatsink the fan roars and the system throws an overheating warning or shuts off mid-game. ProFix deep-cleans the cooling assembly and renews thermal compound so it runs quiet and stable again.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my PS5 fan so loud all of a sudden?
Dust building up in the heatsink is the usual cause; once airflow is blocked the fan spins harder to compensate, and a deep clean quiets it down.
Does the PS5 really use liquid metal?
Yes — Sony applies liquid metal to the APU, so thermal service has to be done carefully, which is part of what our cooling service covers.
Will overheating damage my PS5?
Repeated thermal shutdowns stress the hardware over time, so addressing the cooling early helps protect the board and APU.
