Be sure to replace the thermal paste on it! Otherwise, it will overheat and die very quickly.

Seems to be going okay so far; I'm all thumbs when it comes to anything hands on or technical.

It's a slim model from 2010 and it's lasted this long just fine. Thanks though.

It WILL die if you use it without having this done. It's like running a car without changing the engine oil. Whether it takes a few hours or a few weeks of heavy use it will die without new thermal paste in it. Take it somewhere and have it done or expect to buy a new PS3 in the coming years.
