My PS3 also makes cooling fan noise when power on and nothing touched for a while but has no problems even when I start to touch it and play the game while the fan is still revving. After a while of playing it the fan stops but still operates as normal. I still have PS2 and makes the fan sound all the time I play it but again no problems.
My defective ps3 does that a lot (fan noise)when I played cod4 and had a pop up noise, and one week later it ps3 was dead, my replacement one is getting the same problem as my defective one
all that sound is, is cleaning the dust out.my 80 does the same thing if i let it just sit there for awhile on the main screen it will start goign through sequences fan to fan and than get really allowed cause its doing a check and cleaning dust out.soo as i put a disc in it, it calms down and goes to normal.so theres nothing wrong with your ps3.
BRILLIANT!!!! I had the above problem for a while and I would turn the system off and then play the game. But now if it starts making a moise I just pop the game in and it goes quiter, THANK YOU!!!!!
i have the 40 gig and its silent, it has only done that when i played it for a long time, but the sound would last for a few seconds, so i honestly think it dosent matter which gig the ps3 is, 80, 60, 40 and 20, overall they r silent
hey I have exactly the same problem maullster said that it doesnt have many vents. if you put it horizontaly and touch the left part of it you would see is hot but after a couple of minutes the temperture would reduce
yeah, my ps3 does that too. I think it's only the 40gb ps3 that does that because it doesn't have as many vents. They say it's chip doesn't warm up as fast, but that sound does annoy me sometimes
There are three major reasons why it makes a lot of noise. ONE being that the system has been turned on for a long time, if its over 2-3 hours, it might get much louder since it heats up. TWO is that its standing right up, and it makes more noise this way, put it down, my PS3 makes NO NOISE at all when its placed down that's how I always have it. And THREE something might have happened to it when it was shipped or its just very old. I had my PS3 for almost a year and its still silent.
Senseivadym - you said that it could make a noise when it is on for over 2-3 hours, is that 2-3 hours togethr in a whole day or like 3 hours continuous non stop. please someone tell me because my ps3 is making a loud noise and i play it like 5 hours a day maybe its coz of that someone tell me thanks
ive noticed most people who have videos of messed up PS3s all have them standing virtically and i think thats retarded put it the right way maybe itll fix it
WOW Something might have happened during when the PS3 was ship to the store like the handlers just threw it around like some normal household item.......it happens alot.....anyway sorry about that happening!:(
i got mine new from newegg, 5 days later i got a odd sound when i start it up the fan will tick for a sec then itll go away, if i get close to it sounds like a piece of paper on the fan or something just barely touching it not sure what to think about it
dude your lucky cause i just got my replacemnt 40GB yesterday and the fan starts like 10min. into the game and it sounds like a hair dryer then the fan start normal speed like 30min. later
and since THIS IS my replacement its even worse than my first one
yesterday I return this annoying device to store and change to another one. No noise, all works fine. To new buyers - check devices carefuly before buying during 10-15 minutes. If you hear noise - don't buy!
wait wait ......wtf u r ps3 is off thats no noise thats a ficking fan u dumb ass

you were also downloading a game so the ps3 can also get hot from that as the wifi uses more energy and the 360 is shit.

keep it in cooler spot, in the winter plug up the air vent with a box, in the summer put it next to the air vent, thats what i do.

okay your ps3 is fitted with a self cleaning system. it cleans the dust for you it like a vacuum cleaner.
just clean your back fan once and a while like once every 2 weeks to maintain good condition
