Common Problems with PS5 Old Dried Liquid Metal

1. Overheating:

• Symptoms: The PS5 becomes excessively hot during operation, potentially leading to automatic shutdowns or thermal throttling.
• Causes: Old and dried liquid metal loses its effectiveness in transferring heat away from the CPU and GPU, leading to overheating.
• Solutions: Removing the old liquid metal and applying a fresh layer to ensure proper heat transfer.

2. Poor Thermal Performance:

• Symptoms: Reduced performance, lag, and increased loading times during gameplay due to thermal throttling.
• Causes: Dried liquid metal fails to provide adequate cooling, causing the CPU and GPU to throttle performance to prevent damage.
• Solutions: Cleaning off the old liquid metal and applying new liquid metal to restore optimal thermal performance.

3. System Crashes and Freezes:

• Symptoms: The PS5 crashes or freezes during gameplay or other intensive tasks.
• Causes: Overheating from ineffective thermal paste leads to instability in the system.
• Solutions: Replacing the dried liquid metal with new, effective liquid metal to prevent overheating and ensure stable performance.

4. Noise from Cooling Fans:

• Symptoms: The PS5’s cooling fans become excessively loud as they work harder to cool the system.
• Causes: Poor heat transfer from dried liquid metal causes the fans to spin at higher speeds to try to cool the components.
• Solutions: Applying fresh liquid metal to improve heat dissipation, reducing the need for high fan speeds.

5. Component Damage:

• Symptoms: Permanent damage to the CPU, GPU, or other internal components due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
• Causes: Inefficient cooling from old liquid metal leads to overheating, which can damage sensitive components over time.
• Solutions: Replacing the old liquid metal promptly to protect internal components from heat damage.

6. Inconsistent Performance:

• Symptoms: The PS5 experiences fluctuations in performance, with sudden drops in frame rates or stuttering during gameplay.
• Causes: Inconsistent thermal management from dried liquid metal causes the system to struggle with maintaining stable temperatures.
• Solutions: Cleaning off the old liquid metal and applying a new layer to ensure consistent and effective cooling.

7. Shortened Lifespan:

• Symptoms: Reduced overall lifespan of the PS5 due to continuous thermal stress.
• Causes: Overheating from dried liquid metal accelerates wear and tear on internal components.
• Solutions: Regularly replacing the liquid metal to maintain optimal cooling and extend the lifespan of the console.

8. Thermal Paste Leakage:

• Symptoms: Liquid metal leaks onto the motherboard or other components, potentially causing short circuits.
• Causes: Improper application or degraded liquid metal can lead to leakage.
• Solutions: Carefully removing old liquid metal and applying a fresh layer with proper precautions to prevent leakage.

9. Increased Power Consumption:

• Symptoms: The PS5 consumes more power than usual as it tries to manage higher temperatures.
• Causes: Inefficient cooling from dried liquid metal leads to increased power draw to maintain performance.
• Solutions: Applying new liquid metal to improve thermal efficiency and reduce power consumption.
