The bottom of my PS3 Slim gets pretty hot. Is it better to put the PS3 on top of something made out of metal or is it better to put it on top of something like paper which doesn't heat up as much as metal? I'm confused because people say metal is better because it conducts heat and lets heat pass through It but wouldn't the metal get really hot which would make the bottom of the PS3 Slim hot/hotter? I want my PS3 Slim to stay cool it sounds louder than my fat PS3 that I used to have. I want the PS3 Slim to sound quieter and run at a cooler temperature. PLEASE HELP.

So is it better on top of a hollow tin or on top of a hollow tin with paper on the rim?

The top of the tin is open and the paper won't block the hole. A strip of paper will be folded over the rim.

So please tell me which method will keep the PS3 Slim run cooler and quieter and tell me why you think that.

Please Reply. PLEASE.

BTW my PS3 Slim has space around it so ventilation isn't a problem.
