PS5 Loud Fan? Overheating? Why Your Console Sounds Like a Jet Engine (And How We Fix It)

Your PS5 Is Loud Enough to Startle the Neighbours

We get it. You fire up your PS5, sit down to game—and your console sounds like it’s prepping for liftoff.

If your PS5 fan is roaring like a jet engine, overheating, or shutting down mid-game, you’re not alone. At OneUpFix Barrie, we fix loud, hot consoles like this every week.

Good news: We know the real reason your PlayStation’s screaming for help—and yes, it can be fixed.

🔥 Why Your PS5 Sounds Like It’s Ready for Takeoff

Your PS5’s cooling system keeps temperatures in check. But over time, that system struggles thanks to:

• Dust buildup choking the fan
• Dried-out liquid metal thermal compound
• Poorly applied or degraded thermal paste
• Overheating causing the fan to max out
• Defective or weakened fan motors

Translation? The system gets hotter, fans spin harder, and your PS5 sounds like a small aircraft.

🚨 Signs You Need an Overheating or Loud Fan Repair

Pay attention to these warning signs:

✔ Console feels unusually hot on top or sides
✔ Loud roaring fan—even at idle or menu screens
✔ Sudden shutdowns mid-game
✔ Performance stutters during intense sessions
✔ Error messages about overheating

These symptoms mean your PS5 is struggling—and continued gaming risks permanent damage.

💡 DIY Cooling Tricks (That Actually Help—Temporarily)

Before calling us, try these:

✔ Clean the outside vents with compressed air
✔ Move the console to a well-ventilated area
✔ Avoid enclosing your PS5 in entertainment units
✔ Limit gaming during heat waves

These help short term—but if your console’s still loud or overheating, the issue is deeper.

Why Liquid Metal Refresh Matters

The PS5 uses liquid metal to cool the processor—a cutting-edge method, but it degrades over time:

• Old liquid metal dries out
• Heat transfer suffers
• Fans overwork to compensate
• System overheats, slows down, or shuts off

Our Liquid Metal Refresh restores peak cooling performance, keeping your PS5 quiet, cool, and fast.

Is It Worth Fixing or Just Buying New?

With PS5s hard to replace and expensive to upgrade, repairs make sense—especially if:

• Your console still works but runs hot
• Games and saves live on your system
• You want to avoid permanent damage

We’ll always give you honest advice. If your PS5 isn’t worth saving? We’ll tell you upfront—no pressure.
