| Draven26 said: I played it for about 4 hours last night and although the fan was on its middle setting for about the last 2 hours of play, the system never felt hot (actually was very cool to the touch) and the fan was blowing cool air out the vents. never suffered any freeze ups or shut downs |
Yours will YLOD within the next few months depending on use then. The fans starting racing with no discernable increase in temperature being produced out the back I'm guessing. Same deal with the OP too, it's definately early stages. You guys might want to consider stripping your consoles down and cleaning the fans out although I suspect the damage has already been done so it's too late. The fault is similar to the RROD on 360 but due to the better manufacturing quality of the PS3 motherboard combined with better cooling they fail slower and a lot less frequently. If you do start to get any increased fan speeds on your PS3 that is unusual I always recommend cleaning them before the overheating causes further damage, mine has just started too even when playing DVD's. In my case it's definately a dust issue so I need to sort it before I start on Unchartered 2.
