Inleiding

Use this guide to apply liquid metal in your PlayStation 5. You can also use this guide to re-spread existing liquid metal.

Your PS5 has an [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_APU|Accelerated Processing Unit|new_window=true] (APU), which uses [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_metal#Applications|liquid metal|new_window=true] TIM (thermal interface material) instead of traditional thermal paste to transfer heat. Over time, the liquid metal can oxidize or become unevenly spread on the APU and heatsink, especially if the PS5 stood upright for long periods of time. If the liquid metal has oxidized, it'll look dried-out or cracked and will need to be cleaned and replaced. If it's just unevenly covered, you can re-spread it evenly across the surfaces of the APU and heatsink.

Your liquid metal might need to be replaced if your PS5 is overheating, throttling, or having overall poor performance. These signs could also mean a faulty or dirty fan. To remove your fan for cleaning, follow [guide|141723|this guide|new_window=true].
