The design is actually the issue. It will most certainly shock some uneducated owners with the amount of heat that is coming out of one area, but sony used highly thermal resistant electrical components on the power supply so that the heat passing over it will not cause any damage to them. This must of been a highly well analyzed choice because it is very cocky to do this. the PS3 slim overall experiences a lot less heat due to the design, but the exhaust will appear to be pushing out significantly more heat, due to that massive fan and how it is responsible for moving 100% of the heat out.
