Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material
The launch-model PS5 uses a liquid metal alloy to bridge the APU and heatsink. Over time, 'dry spots' can form on the processor die, leading to localized hotspots that trigger a safety shutdown. Replacing or redistributing this material restores the thermal pathway necessary for high-performance operation.

Replacement Cooling Fan
If the fan motor experiences bearing wear or circuit failure, it cannot maintain the required CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow to dissipate heat from the main fins. This results in heat soak within the chassis, eventually exceeding the thermal threshold of the SoC.

Internal Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The PSU in the CFI-1015A is prone to overheating if its internal airflow vents become clogged with dust. When the PSU overheats, it will abruptly cut power to the console to prevent fire hazards, which the user often perceives as a general overheating shutdown.
