Console maintenance
PS5 and console cleaning in Brussels
Is your PS5 roaring like a hairdryer, running hot or switching off mid-game? Dust is one of the main causes of console failure. Our technicians take apart, clean and redo the cooling of your PlayStation or Xbox in our 3 shops in Brussels, from €50.
New: the PTM7950 thermal pad, so the liquid metal in your PS5 no longer leaks.
Why maintain your console?
Dust, your PS5's number one enemy
The fan pulls in air from the room, and with it dust, hair and lint. Little by little they clog the heatsink: the console cools less and less well.
Overheating
Clogged heatsink = rising temperatures. The console freezes, shows an overheating warning or switches itself off.
Fan noise
To compensate, the fan spins at full speed: your console gets loud, even with undemanding games.
Costly failures
Constant heat wears components out faster. Regular cleaning costs far less than a motherboard repair.
Tell-tale signs: noisy fan · console hot to the touch · crashes or black screen · overheating warning · last cleaned more than 2 years ago.

Leaking liquid metal in the PS5: the PTM7950 solution
Between the chip and the heatsink, the PS5 uses liquid metal. It’s very effective, but it can shift over time, especially when the console is moved or stood upright. The result: the chip runs hotter and the metal can spread onto nearby components.
Honeywell’s PTM7950 is a phase-change material. Solid at room temperature, it softens as the console heats up to fill every micro-gap, then sets again. It doesn’t leak, doesn’t dry out like ordinary paste and keeps its performance over time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about console cleaning
How long does a console cleaning take?
Allow about 1 to 1.5 hours of workshop time depending on the package. We’ll give you the exact turnaround when you drop it off.
How often should I clean my PS5?
On average every 1 to 2 years. More often if the console runs a lot, sits near the floor or shares the room with pets or smoke.
Why choose PTM7950 over liquid metal?
Liquid metal cools very well but can shift over time. Honeywell’s PTM7950 is a phase-change material: it softens when hot to fill every micro-gap, then sets when cool. It doesn’t leak and stays stable over time.
Can the liquid metal be replaced without a cleaning?
No. Replacing the liquid metal or fitting PTM7950 is always done with a full cleaning, since the console is completely taken apart.
Will my games and saves be kept?
Yes. Cleaning doesn’t touch the console’s storage: you get it back with your games and saves.
Which consoles do you clean?
PS5 (all versions), PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Liquid metal only applies to the PS5; PTM7950 can be fitted to all of these consoles.
