Replacing the thermal paste does nothing except let you play for 10 mins then yellow light again

@itzindeeznutsnigg77 yea not as easily as the fat ps3... i have both had a slim for 2 years doesnt even get loud my fat gets loud after like 30 min

I fixed mine by replacing the thermal paste, then cutting a hole above the fan on the case then placing a fan grill over it with self-tapping screws.

PS3 gets all the fresh air it needs now, directly from the right side of the case (while standing verticle). The air is cooler and a good 2x more volume of air is being pushed through the vent on the same fan speeds.

The heatsink inside the PS3 is just horrible for air flow, I do not see why I haven't seen this solution AT ALL, it's so obvious.

@itzindeeznutsnigg77 Atleast its not a 360 :p

@yfumes I replaced thermal paste on both my CPU and GPU and it's been 6 months now and still playing games. Rarely it freezes up but it's not a heating issue. I know this cause the fan isn't high-spooled. I do get some weird red line artifacts in some of the games I play... weird, but still playable.

stupid people, the slim is smaller because they reduced the size of the fan. The ps3 original had a 10% fail rate vs the ps3 slim which has a 30% fail rate. xbox 360 original had 50% fail rate and xbox 360 elite 30% fail rate and xbox 360S no fail rate. PS3 original and xbox 360S are the best choices when looking for a console

@AntiStupidity gonna try that too, my ps3 is loud like a jet engine and it says system has become hot. I changed the termal paste but it didn't do shit. I is not even hot it just is loud but maybe it will work

[mrdodgeram1999]

[philliplong96]

I understand why ppl prefer PC Gaming, cause consoles suck, with a good customizable PC u can add better cooling system, liquid or fan cooling and graphic cards :D
