PS5 Pro too hot or loud? How to prevent console death

The PlayStation 5 Pro delivers breathtaking graphics and raw power. But where a lot of power is demanded, extreme heat is also generated. If your PS5 Pro suddenly sounds like a vacuum cleaner, the case gets glowing hot, or the console quits in the middle of a match with an error message, extreme caution is advised.

The liquid metal problem

Unlike older consoles, Sony uses liquid metal instead of traditional thermal paste in the PS5 Pro to dissipate heat from the main processor (APU). If the console is placed exclusively vertically for months, the liquid metal can shift downwards due to gravity. This creates so-called "dry spots" on the processor. The result: the console overheats lightning fast at these spots and switches off.

HDMI port defective: The classic when vacuuming or moving

Another weak point is the HDMI interface. Pull the cable briefly while cleaning or push the console roughly onto the shelf, and the fine solder joints of the HDMI port on the main board will break off. The result: the PS5 Pro turns on, the light glows blue/white, but the TV reports "No signal".
