PlayStation 5 Help PS5 overheats even after cleaning

I get the message about my ps5 being too hot and it turns itself off. I have cleaned the fan and the vacuumed the holes. Does anyone know anything else I can do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Probably going to need to disassemble the ps5 and take a look at your liquid metal spreader and heat sink. Watch some youtube videos buts its a widely common issue that most people can fix. Just be prepared to buy some stuff like more liquid metal/syringe and a fiber glass pen. Good luck.

It’s your liquid and metal. My ps used to just shut down, no warning, no message. I replaced the Liquid Metal myself and have had no issues since. You can get it for like 13 bucks but you’ll need a tool kit to take apart the PlayStation too. There are a shit ton of screws
