"It was confirmed By Sony On DLB's MYSPACE blog a while back that the fan tests Can infact Burn out the graphics chip"
Answer:
i never said it was good for it.. i know its bad... it causes your system to overheat.. forcing the fans to turn on high...
But if you only do it for 10 seconds and then shut it off.. nothing bad should happen..
**BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK**..like i did
Its not a self-cleaning process, its intended to test to strength of the fan. People just found a secondary use for it. Apparently if you let it run for too long it can damage the GPU.
Personally, I just use a vacuum cleaner a couple times a year.
