Forums - Sony Discussion - How does the PS3 slim not over heat?

Why the heck are you guys wasting all that power/money by leaving your systems on for days at a time? And then you brag about it? It's like, "I volunteered to monthly throw $15 out my window and kill kittens every month for the rest of my life and my PS3 still runs! I'm so cool."

WTF? Are you really so lazy and/or impatient that you can't restart your box once a day? Shutdown your PCs. Unplug your chargers when not using them. Quit ruining the world and running up everyone's power bills by increasing demand and waste. Selfish and stupid.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

I've never had a Sony console break and I've owned them all so I was speaking from personal experience.

Im looking at my PS3 slim right now and i dont see any air holes, i see the export air holes but not any import air holes, and it gets really really hot.

 

How the hell doesnt this thing break? I know my old 80 gig one used to get hot but not this hot and the fat model has air holes.

 

Someone please explain.

less energy being used

if you look at some deconstructed views of the slim it shows how absolutely insanely huge the air fan is inside. They changed the fan from the fat to the slim.

Cooling was probably Sony's number 1 priority.

Also, you might want to separate those systems, it cant be good for them to sit on top of one another like that.

Fixed!! And I agree

Seriously, the thing is built quite efficiently. I have the 250GB Slim and it's a masterpiece, I'm serious. I love it.

yes with the fat one you have to keep the area clean and keep it clean....don't stand it upright...you willl kill it faster...
