Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material
The PS5 uses a Gallium-based liquid metal alloy to transfer heat from the APU to the heatsink. Over time, especially if the console is stored vertically, 'dry spots' can form on the processor die due to material migration or oxidation. Replacing or redistributing this material restores uniform thermal conductivity and prevents the SOC from reaching its T-junction shutdown limit.

Internal Power Supply Unit
Sudden shutdowns during intensive gameplay are frequently caused by the PSU's internal thermal protection circuit. The PSU is cooled by air diverted from the main fan through tiny intake perforations that easily clog with dust. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, the PSU may have sustained internal component damage from repeated thermal cycling and requires replacement.

Internal Cooling Fan
The centrifugal fan is responsible for all active heat dissipation within the chassis, including the heatsink and the PSU airflow channel. If the fan bearings fail or the blades are heavily loaded with debris, the resulting drop in static pressure prevents the system from exhausting heat. Replacing a failing fan ensures the system maintains the necessary CFM to keep internal temperatures within safe operating parameters.
