PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement - Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut
PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement - Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut
Liquid Metal Replacement on the PS5 is one of the most important services for anyone who wants to extend the life of their console and improve its operating temperatures. We use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme, the highest-performing professional liquid metal on the market.
Why replace the PS5's liquid metal
The PS5 is the first Sony console to use liquid metal as the thermal interface between the APU and the heatsink. This choice delivers exceptional temperatures when the console is new, but over time these problems can occur:
- 🌡️ Pump-out: the liquid metal "retreats" from the centre of the APU, leaving uncovered areas → rising temperatures
- 💧 Leak: in some cases the liquid metal can escape past the containment barriers
- 🔥 Throttling: the console reduces performance to avoid overheating
- 🌀 Noisy fan: it always spins at high speed, even with light games
- ⚠️ WLOD (White Light of Death): in the worst case the console no longer boots
What the service includes
- ✅ Full disassembly of the console
- ✅ Thorough cleaning of the APU, heatsink and containment barriers
- ✅ Renewal of the containment barriers if needed
- ✅ Professional application of Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme
- ✅ Replacement of RAM and VRM thermal pads if requested
- ✅ Full internal cleaning (fan, heatsink, shells)
- ✅ Stress test and temperature monitoring before/after the service
- ✅ 12-month warranty on the work

FAQ - PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
How long does the new Thermal Grizzly liquid metal last?
Under normal use (4-6 hours a day) Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme keeps its performance for 5-7 years, well beyond the average lifespan of Sony's original liquid metal.
Is it better than Sony's original liquid metal?
Yes, objectively. Conductonaut Extreme has higher thermal conductivity and greater stability over time. It is the market standard for professional modders and overclockers.
Can I do it myself at home?
Liquid metal is electrically conductive: if not applied correctly it can cause irreversible short circuits on the motherboard. It is a delicate job that requires experience, proper equipment and perfect containment barriers.
How much do temperatures drop after the service?
On average, CPU/GPU temperatures drop by 5-15°C compared with the degraded original liquid metal. Throttling is practically eliminated and the fan is much quieter.
Does it work on a PS5 with WLOD?
It depends on the cause of the WLOD. If the problem is overheating due to degraded liquid metal, the replacement can fix it. If the WLOD is caused by other hardware faults, you need our more comprehensive PS5 WLOD Repair service.
Will I lose my mod/jailbreak with this service?
No, the service is purely thermal/mechanical and doesn't touch the firmware or software. Your mod stays intact.
How much does it cost compared with buying a new PS5?
€89.99 versus €500-1000 for a new console: a minimal investment to extend your PS5's life by years and improve its thermal performance.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes! The €89.99 service can be bought in 3 interest-free instalments of €29.99 with Klarna. Find out how Klarna works.
