Overheating Fix & Liquid Metal Service
PLAYSTATION 5
📦 Safe postal shipping across Switzerland – Workshop located in Fribourg
The PlayStation 5 uses liquid metal instead of traditional thermal paste to conduct heat from the APU to the heatsink.
Over time, the liquid metal can oxidize or shift downwards due to gravity if the console is kept vertically. This creates dry spots on the processor, causing immediate overheating.
At the same time, dust clogs the heatsink. The fan spins fast, and the PS5 shuts down without warning to prevent processor damage.

How does the repair work?
Drop-off or Ship
Bring your console to our Fribourg workshop or send it by secure post from anywhere in Switzerland.
Lab Diagnosis
Our technicians perform tests and inspect the board under professional stereomicroscopes.
Micro-Soldering
We replace the faulty component using micro-soldering and clean the surrounding circuits.
Quality Control
Complete testing (video signal, charge, thermals) before returning or shipping your console.
Vertical vs Horizontal Position
Vertical alignment
Over time, the liquid metal can leak or accumulate at the bottom of the chip, leaving the top dry and causing hot spots.
Our Application Technique
We re-seal the APU area with specialized tape and barriers, ensuring the liquid metal cannot leak in any orientation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does it only crash on PS5 games?
PS5 games require significantly more power from the GPU, causing rapid heat build-up. PS4 games use less power and might not trigger the overheat protection.
INSURED POST
Safe shipping both ways, including insurance protection.
48H TURNAROUND
Average repair time once received in the workshop.
