Everybody saying "omg don't do this you can brick the ps3"....all of you saying that are complete idiots, you have to be CAREFUL...yes but you MUST do this after the ps3 is out of warranty to change the thermal paste/adhesive you you WILL get a ylod eventually, I recommend everybody that knows how to replace the compound under the chips, I did on my cechao1 that was having issues and they went away....works great now.
@Blackinterceptor999 You don't need to to this tho.. You can fix YLOD with a variety of different methods, depending on which one is your problem. Either way I only think there's only 2 possible situations for the ylod. In the heat one, you can just clean and reapply the compound paste on top of both the plates. Works fine
.can you help me i bought a used ps3 80gig original model had ylod fixed it with reflow but now then i put the rsx heat spreader back on the heatspreader moves on the chip from corner to corner as if it is not flush and it is causing a corner of the GPU die to loose/have no thermal paste which if i am correct can cause the fan to ramp up high amiright? how can i fix this thx.
@Mooseguy15 heat spreader can slide around if you don't use thermal adhesive I used thermal paste, it works just fine but you have to be extra careful it stays put while you put it back together, double check and make sure you got full coverage of the compound on the chips, if your having issues with that then you can check the heat spreader for warping with a straight edge if it is warped you can look into lapping it to solve the issue.
@Blackinterceptor999 let me rephrase that there is not alot of heat my bad and the rsx really is not even warm air cause the fan is going crazy when it is already cool but the cell gets hot then fan goes up to like 4th speed then the air coming out seems warm which leads me to believe that the paste under is shot and not tranferring alot of heat so when the HS cools down the chip is still really hot therefore telling the fan to speed up amiright?
@do0s0n , Dude i taught my 8 year old son how to fix computers and gaming consoles. A freaking monkey could do it. I make a living building and maintaining Networks, thats where the moneys at.
@do0s0n you're the one whos dumb..... YLOD stands for a general internal failure of ANY component of the PS3, just like the XBOX red ring.
Mosy YLODs usually mean ONE or BOTH of the processors has had one or more solder points crack and not making a good connection or not making a connection at all.
I actually mean I have no heatspreader covering on the rsx. All I have is the fan Assembly heatsink touching the chip. I have the 60gb model. I wouldnt advise you trying it on the 40gb cause that mode is built horribly.
Actually I had my reballed and the dude who did must of done this. When my ps3 died 6 months later without me playing it (the fan was loud while it was working). I decided to fix it myself. This might sound weird but after I fixed it with good thermal paste spreading and proper cleaning and put back together. My PS3 is now quiet and has been running strong for 6 months plus. It seems unstoppable.......so those of you who are scared. This is perfectly safe.
@ccovnottz there is Thermal adhesive UNDER the Heatspreader, between RSX and Heatspreader..if your ps3 gets louder and louder and you changed the thermal adhesive between Cooler and Heatspreader you have to change the thermal adhesive between rsx and heatsreader...
@Doganderboss its more like glue that holds the plate on to the chip it has a very small affect on cooling!! its the paste,plate and fan that do the cooling!!! as i said before you only need to take the heat plate off if your changing the rsx chip!!
@ccovnottz nooo there is no glue under RSX...its only Silcone that holds the Heatspreader in place.... the rest is Thermal Adhesive... take a look at 0:39
@Doganderboss i didnt say it is glue! i said its like a glue substance and it only has a small affect on the cooling! i only commented on this as you dont need to take the plate off!! plus because people will do this and then put normal thermal paste under the plate!! which is not what you do!!!! lol ive fixed about 40 ps3's and never had to take the heat plate off!! cheers
@ccovnottz I I reflowed my ps3 about 6 months ago and applied arctic silver 5. The fan got louder the last month or so and now my ps3 cannot go 10 min without displaying a message that says its overheating and turns off. The fan runs fine but it still overheats. I tried reapplying thermal paste but it didn't help. Any ideas?
@BruteStrength11 it will need reflowing again! make sure you use no clean flux( if you didnt allready) cheers ps thats a sign off the ylod coming back
@BruteStrength11 the problem is to much thermal paste on the cpu and gpu what really work is the Ultra ULT40124 Thermal Compound in a bottle you can get it at compusa
Respond to this video... the problem is to much thermal paste on the cpu and gpu what really work is the Ultra ULT40124 Thermal Compound in a bottle you can get it at compusa
Ok new egg has thermal adhesive compound by artic silver called artic alumina. Make sure it says adhesive. I advise ceramic. The flux can be baught on ebay and will need the liquid no clean flux. Remember only the 4 corners of the ram chips use the adhesive compound and the middle gpu can use regular stuff. Hope this helps
you can remove the heat spreader/plate but i advise you use adhesive thermal compound instead of normal stuff. and if you are reflowing i recommed using normal FLUX and not that crappy clean flux. and before you take off the heat spreader reflow the back of the BGA's first then take off the heat spreader's, clean off the compound res apply fux and reflow. then apply the adhesive compound.
however a case mod would be needed for this to last. extra fan, breather holes in the case.
@themok5 Thank you for your input. I have taken apart a ps3 to reflow it, but since previous therm compound was so sticky, Arctic Silver 5, it has ripped the heat spreader off the rsx. I noticed that nerds at Bestbuy, who did not reflow it properly prior to my attempt, have tampered with the heat spreader as well. I cleaned the adhesive pink stuff that was glue-ing it to the ramchips and now I have no idea where to buy this - and my customer is inpatient grrr, cal you please advise???, Alen
is is that thermal paste too? I'm going to reapply thermal paste on my ps3

It is necessary, because. during reflow thermal grease is damaged on the RSX processor. The PS3 will reward one with a loud fan after a few minutes.
