Modern consoles throttle or shut down when they get too hot. Loud fans, warm air, or sudden power-offs during games are warning signs.
Dust in the heatsink is the most common cause in homes with pets or carpets. On PS5, liquid metal can also shift over time and needs checking by someone who works at board level.
What a thermal service includes
A proper service strips the console safely, cleans the heatsink and fans, and refreshes thermal interface material where needed.
This is not the same as blowing compressed air through the vents, which often pushes dust deeper into the machine.
