Liquid Metal Thermal Compound
The PS5 utilizes a gallium-based liquid metal TIM to bridge the gap between the APU and the heatsink. Over time, oxidation or gravitational migration can cause 'dry spots' on the die surface, leading to an immediate thermal spike that triggers the system's safety shutdown. Re-coating the die restores the high-conductivity thermal path necessary for the 180W+ TDP of the system.

Internal Cooling Fan (23-Blade Replacement)
The centrifugal fan is the sole active cooling component for the entire SoC and power delivery system. Bearing degradation or excessive dust weight on the blades reduces the rotational velocity (RPM) and static pressure, failing to push air through the dense fins of the main heatsink, resulting in the 'Overheating Warning' during high-graphical load.

Compressed Air and Precision Cleaning Kit
The PS5 chassis design includes specific 'dust catchers' intended for vacuuming; however, dust often bypasses these and clogs the internal heatsink channels and the PSU air intake. This creates an insulating layer that prevents convective heat transfer, forcing the system to operate at temperatures exceeding the safe T-junction limit of the silicon.
