so, application of new thermal coumpound didnt do anything. since ive already opened it and the fan is crazy loud, not to mention i updated to firmware 3.6 as soon as it was out to prevent myself from going back to the "ps1 and ps2 old ways...", its re-sale value here is next to shit due to people here looking for PS3s that are still in firmware 3.55.... i might as well try modding the case, maybe cutting the bottom oppen then replacing the heat sink with something else, maybe something thats good for vga cards, or maybe liquid coolling, then adding a large fan under it to double the wind flow and adding permanent legs to elevate it high enough to add the additional fan...
Nah! i'll just turn the volume on my monitor up so i wont hear the fan! haha
