fillet said: Fair comment, I can't exactly say you're wrong if you have first hand experience with this. It does sound quite bizarre though. I used to overclock a lot of stuff years ago on the PC and ambient temperature does matter when you are already on the edge of what the CPU/GPU can do, but if you're already in the safe zone then things shouldn't be freezing up, no matter the ambient temp. If you check the PS3 packaging, it will list it's safe operating temperature in the back of the manual no doubt (can't find mine). On electronic goods, this is generally at least -5c to +40c and obviously there would be a buffer of a few degrees either side to ensure that claim is upheld. Still, appreicate the response...why I do I never agree with anything you say...strange world :p |
The issues not happen in little time... eg. the AMD cooler box here makes the Windows freeze after some hours of use... so you just change the cooler for a better one and the system never freezes even when running over 24 hours.
These cooler box tested by AMD works for most countries but not here... the Intel coolers are a little better but not enough to make overclock.
I use some App to stress the system for some time (30 minutes or more) when I do overclock... my mother PC can't pass the tests with the cooler box with 100Mhz increase in clock but after I changed the cooler I can overclock until +500Mhz without problem... the issue is the overheating.
My PS3 Slim freezes in crazy hot days... and not in normal days... below a video with PS3 overheating.
