Rapid overheat/shutdown PS5 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My PS5 is a little over two years old and I've maintained it well but over the past couple of months it has started overheating.

I've cleaned it out thoroughly and it's shutting off after less than 10 minutes of playing. I don't always get the error message either.

When I start it up some time later (days later), I'll get a split screen that shows the right half of the screen twice. Once it repairs the console and USB external storage and reboots, the screen is fine.

Nothing around the PS5 has changed. If anything, I've given it more space and airflow. The fan seems to be working fine as well.

Have you ever taken it apart before? I wonder if the liquid metal thermal interface has leaked out or oxidized.

I didn't see anything like that but I didn't take it completely apart.
