Is your PS5 Slim overheating, shutting down during games or becoming increasingly noisy as it gets hot? Console Wizard provides a professional PS5 Slim Full Service for £69.99 to clean and service the console's internal cooling system.
The PlayStation 5 Slim relies on unrestricted airflow through its cooling fan and internal heatsinks together with an effective liquid-metal thermal interface to transfer heat away from the main APU.
Dust and debris can gradually accumulate inside the console and restrict airflow through the heatsink. Our Full Service involves professionally dismantling the PS5 Slim, deep cleaning the internal cooling system, cleaning the fan and heatsinks, professionally renewing the liquid metal and replacing thermal strips where required.
This service is designed for cooling and overheating-related problems. If your fan itself has stopped spinning, has broken blades, faulty bearings or is making a mechanical grinding, rattling or scraping noise, please select our separate PS5 Slim Fan Replacement service.
PS5 Slim Full Service – £69.99
Our £69.99 PS5 Slim Full Service is a comprehensive internal cooling-system service rather than simply cleaning the visible areas of the console.
The PS5 Slim is professionally dismantled so that accumulated dust and debris can be removed from areas that cannot be properly accessed during routine external cleaning.
• PS5 Slim professionally dismantled
• Internal dust and debris removed
• Cooling fan professionally cleaned
• Internal heatsinks deep cleaned
• Cooling-system airflow paths cleaned
• Existing liquid metal professionally removed and renewed
• Thermal strips replaced where required
• Console professionally reassembled
• Cooling operation professionally tested
• 3-month repair warranty
PS5 Slim Overheating Repair
A PlayStation 5 Slim generates considerable heat while running demanding games. The cooling system is designed to move this heat away from the main processor and exhaust it from the console.
As dust and debris accumulate internally, airflow through the cooling system can become restricted.
A blocked or partially restricted heatsink can make it more difficult for the console to remove heat efficiently, particularly during demanding PS5 games where the system is operating under a heavier workload.
Our PS5 Slim overheating service addresses the complete internal cooling system rather than simply cleaning around the outside of the console.
PS5 Slim Deep Clean
A proper PS5 Slim deep clean requires more than removing the outer covers and cleaning dust from the areas that are immediately visible.
Dust and debris can accumulate deeper inside the console, including around the internal heatsink and airflow paths.
During our Full Service, the PS5 Slim is professionally dismantled to allow our engineers to access and clean the internal cooling system.
• Internal dust accumulation removed
• Cooling fan cleaned
• Heatsink fins professionally deep cleaned
• Restricted airflow paths cleared
• Internal cooling areas inspected
This allows us to remove contamination that cannot necessarily be reached through routine external cleaning.
Blocked PS5 Slim Heatsink
The internal heatsink contains numerous fins designed to provide a large surface area for heat dissipation.
Air moved by the cooling fan needs to pass through these fins efficiently.
Over time, dust and debris can collect around the heatsink and restrict the airflow passing through it.
A console may therefore appear relatively clean around the fan or external vents while deeper sections of the heatsink remain partially blocked.
During our PS5 Slim Full Service, the internal heatsink is exposed and professionally deep cleaned so that accumulated contamination can be removed.
PS5 Slim Liquid Metal Renewal
The PlayStation 5 Slim uses liquid metal as the thermal interface between the main APU and the cooling assembly.
This thermal interface plays an important role in transferring heat away from the processor into the console's cooling system.
As part of our Full Service, the existing liquid metal is professionally removed from the relevant contact surfaces and the thermal interface is carefully renewed.
• Existing liquid metal professionally removed
• APU contact area professionally prepared
• Fresh high-performance liquid metal applied
• Thermal interface professionally serviced
Liquid metal is electrically conductive and requires careful handling. We therefore recommend that this part of the service is carried out by an engineer experienced in PlayStation 5 cooling-system servicing.
PS5 Slim Thermal Strip Replacement
The PlayStation 5 Slim also uses thermal interface material on other heat-producing components inside the console.
During the Full Service, these thermal strips are inspected and replaced where required.
• Existing thermal strips inspected
• Deteriorated material replaced where required
• Correct contact with the cooling assembly restored where applicable
This forms part of servicing the wider cooling system rather than focusing only on the main APU.
PS5 Slim Fan Getting Louder During Games
A cooling fan naturally changes speed according to the workload and temperature of the console, so hearing the fan increase in speed during demanding games does not automatically mean that the fan itself is faulty.
However, if your PS5 Slim has become noticeably louder over time and the fan progressively increases in speed as the console heats up, restricted airflow or another cooling-system issue may be contributing to the problem.
Deep cleaning the heatsink, fan and airflow paths forms an important part of our PS5 Slim Full Service.
If the fan itself rotates smoothly and does not produce abnormal mechanical noises, replacing the fan unnecessarily may not solve an overheating problem.
PS5 Slim Overheating or Faulty Fan?
It is important to distinguish between a cooling-system problem and a physically faulty fan because they require different services.
PS5 Slim Full Service – select this service if:
• Console becomes unusually hot during use
• Fan becomes increasingly loud as the console heats up
• Console displays an overheating warning
• PS5 Slim shuts down during demanding games
• Internal cooling system requires a professional deep clean
• Liquid metal and thermal interfaces require servicing
PS5 Slim Fan Replacement – select the separate fan repair if:
• Cooling fan has stopped spinning
• Fan has broken or damaged blades
• Fan has faulty bearings
• Fan makes a mechanical grinding noise
• Fan makes a rattling or scraping noise
• Fan itself is physically damaged
A mechanically faulty fan cannot be repaired simply by deep cleaning the cooling system, while replacing a healthy fan will not resolve restricted airflow through a blocked heatsink.
PS5 Slim Shutting Down During Games
A PS5 Slim that shuts itself down during demanding games can be suffering from an overheating or cooling-system problem.
Some customers find that the console operates for a period of time before suddenly switching itself off, particularly when running games that place the system under sustained load.
If restricted airflow is causing excessive internal temperatures, professionally deep cleaning and servicing the cooling system may resolve the underlying problem.
However, unexpected shutdown does not automatically prove that the console is overheating.
Power supply and motherboard faults can produce similar symptoms. If our engineers find that your PS5 Slim has a different hardware fault rather than a cooling-system problem, we will contact you and explain the appropriate repair before carrying out additional chargeable work.
PS5 Slim Overheating Warning
If your PlayStation 5 Slim displays a temperature or overheating warning, stop using the console and allow it to cool.
An overheating warning indicates that the console has detected an excessive temperature condition and continued operation is not recommended until the cooling problem has been addressed.
Repeatedly restarting a console that is displaying overheating warnings does not resolve the underlying cooling problem.
Our Full Service allows the internal heatsink, fan, airflow paths and thermal interfaces to be professionally serviced.
PS5 Slim Shuts Down Playing PS5 Games but Plays PS4 Games
Some customers report that their PS5 Slim operates normally with less demanding software but shuts down when running particular PS5 games.
Different games can place different levels of sustained load on the processor and graphics hardware, so a cooling problem can become more noticeable during demanding workloads.
This symptom can be consistent with an overheating problem, but it should not be treated as proof of one specific fault.
If servicing the cooling system is appropriate, our Full Service addresses the internal heatsink, fan, airflow paths, liquid metal and thermal strips rather than replacing individual components unnecessarily.
Why Cleaning Only the PS5 Slim Fan May Not Be Enough
The fan is only one part of the PS5 Slim cooling system.
A fan can be visibly clean and operating correctly while dust remains trapped deeper inside the heatsink or airflow path.
Cleaning only the fan therefore does not necessarily remove the contamination responsible for restricted airflow.
Our Full Service involves professionally dismantling the console so that the deeper internal cooling components can be accessed and cleaned.
Professional PS5 Slim Cooling System Service
Our Full Service addresses the major serviceable areas involved in the PS5 Slim cooling system.
The process includes:
• PS5 Slim professionally dismantled
• Cooling fan removed and professionally cleaned
• Internal dust and debris removed
• Heatsink professionally deep cleaned
• Cooling-system airflow paths cleaned
• Existing liquid metal professionally removed
• Liquid-metal thermal interface professionally renewed
• Thermal strips inspected and replaced where required
• Console professionally reassembled
• Cooling operation and console functionality tested
What If the Problem Is Not Overheating?
Several different PlayStation 5 Slim hardware faults can cause symptoms that appear similar to overheating.
For example, a console that suddenly loses power can have a cooling problem, but PSU or motherboard faults can also cause unexpected shutdown.
If our engineers discover that your PS5 Slim requires a different repair, we will contact you and explain what has been found before carrying out additional chargeable repair work.
This prevents unrelated components from being replaced simply because the original symptoms appeared similar to an overheating fault.

PS5 Slim Full Service FAQs
How much does a PS5 Slim Full Service cost?
Our complete PS5 Slim Full Service costs £69.99. This includes professional dismantling, deep internal cleaning, fan and heatsink cleaning, liquid metal renewal, replacement of thermal strips where required, reassembly, testing and our standard 3-month repair warranty.
Can you repair a PS5 Slim that is overheating?
Yes, where the problem is caused by a serviceable cooling-system issue such as restricted airflow, internal dust build-up or a thermal-interface problem. Our Full Service professionally cleans and services the internal cooling system.
Does the PS5 Slim use liquid metal?
Yes. The PS5 Slim uses liquid metal as the thermal interface for its main APU. As part of our Full Service, the existing liquid metal is professionally removed and the thermal interface is renewed.
Do you deep clean the PS5 Slim heatsink?
Yes. The console is professionally dismantled so that the internal heatsink can be accessed and deep cleaned rather than only cleaning the externally accessible areas.
Does a loud PS5 Slim fan mean the fan is broken?
No. A cooling fan can become louder as its speed increases without being mechanically faulty. If the fan rotates correctly but the console is overheating or its cooling system is restricted, our Full Service may be more appropriate than replacing the fan.
What if my PS5 Slim fan is grinding or rattling?
A mechanical grinding, rattling or scraping noise can indicate a physically faulty fan or damaged bearings. In that situation, our separate PS5 Slim Fan Replacement service is normally more appropriate.
Can overheating cause my PS5 Slim to shut down?
Yes. Excessive internal temperature can cause a console to shut down. However, shutdown can also be caused by PSU or motherboard faults, so the symptom alone does not prove that overheating is responsible.
Why does my PS5 Slim shut down only on certain games?
Some games place a greater sustained load on the console than others, which can make an existing cooling problem more noticeable. However, diagnosis may be required because this symptom does not identify one specific fault by itself.
Do you replace the thermal strips?
Yes. The internal thermal strips are inspected during the Full Service and replaced where required.
Is fan replacement included in the £69.99 Full Service?
No. The Full Service includes professional cleaning of a working cooling fan. If the fan itself has failed, has broken blades, faulty bearings or another mechanical defect, our separate PS5 Slim Fan Replacement service is required.
What happens if the problem is actually the PSU or motherboard?
If our engineers determine that the shutdown or power problem is caused by another hardware fault rather than the cooling system, we will contact you and explain the appropriate repair before carrying out additional chargeable work.
Does the PS5 Slim Full Service include a warranty?
Yes. A successfully completed Full Service includes our standard 3-month repair warranty covering the original successfully repaired overheating or cooling-system fault.
Can I bring my PS5 Slim to you in Bolton?
Yes. Local customers can bring their PlayStation 5 Slim to our repair centre in Bolton, Greater Manchester, during our normal Monday to Friday opening hours.
Can I send my PS5 Slim from elsewhere in the UK?
Yes. Console Wizard provides a UK-wide PS5 Slim repair service with courier and postal options, including DPD collection directly from your address and return delivery from £24.99 depending on your UK location.
