@howfixit: Most PS5 Slim overheating “fixes” fail because liquid metal is applied wrong. Clean the APU die and heatsink cold plate with 90% isopropyl alcohol until mirror-clean, then use the micro tip and apply only a tiny drop. Too much liquid metal pools/overflows and actually worsens heat transfer—remove excess with a syringe and reapply. Skip regular cotton swabs (they shed fibers) and use lint-free or liquid-metal-safe applicators. Spread a thin, even film on both the APU and cold plate—no clumps, no bare spots. Thick layers insulate and raise temperatures. Full PS5 Slim maintenance guide (teardown, deep clean, liquid metal, reassembly) on HowFixit YouTube.
