I hope this doesn't happen to my PS3. I only use it for blu-ray, netflix and gaming, but I'm offloading the netflix to a new HTPC as I know it won't have these kinds of problems, and replacing a single part will be a lot cheaper if something does break. |
the problem its know to be the PS2 chips, causing more heat than they should.
it's less likely to system without it.
but i read it can be avoid if u change cpu/gpu white paste. :p don't know how they call it in english

but my PS3 dont have the Ps2 chip... BC its made by emulation software... i don't think its that... packing a 90nm CPU at 3.2ghz its a bit dungerous for a small case and to keep the noise as low as possible, they have the fans running in low RPM unless the chip is melting...
the white paste is called Thermal Paste.

it does have a ps2 chip, they just removed one of them. cpu it's emulated.
