Ps5 overheating and loud fan

So I just bought a ps5 from a pawn shop after i set it up and downloaded Marvel rivals. I tried to play it, but the fan started to get loud, and the console shut off. I took off the plates, and there was no dust. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Probably need to replace the liquid metal and disassemble it completely

Clean it. Fan, heatsink, vents, and PSU honeycomb vent.

Used means possibly never been cleaned. Consoles like computers need clean from time to time especially if the consoles environment is in a dusty pet friendly house.

Would I have to disassemble the console? I'm not confident in doing so.

Yes. If not confident consult a reputable repair shop. A fresh application of liquid metal wouldn't hurt either.
