I have an 80gb PS3 fat that was bundled with MGS4 and bought it just under two years ago. I have noticed that over the past couple of months my PS3 has been getting really loud; the fan is unbearable at times. At first I didn't pay too much attention to it but when I could hear it from a floor up, I started to get worried. I read online that keeping the PS3 vertical (I had it horizontal before) is a good way to fix it. When I keep it vertical, my PS3 is about 2.5 inches away from the top of the entertainment centre; is this enough distance? I also heard that keeping the PS3 elevated by placing two hollow tin cans underneath it stops the loud fan as well. Are any of these solutions correct? What should I try to fix this problem?
