Turned out my PS3 wasnt overheating. Damn undead redemption was just fudged up. I just went to another location, saved, then went back to the missionary and it worked. Sucks that consoles games are now buggy like pc games.


I would recommend taking the HDD cover plate off. The HDD gets pretty hot down there with no air flow. I have HDD cover off, PS3 standing up on a laptop fan cooler. Very nice.


I'm going to open her back up and install a fan control knob. It gets annoying hearing the thing go quite, then loud, quite, then loud, etc. I want a nice constant medium fan speed and a cool ps3. Not let it heat up to volcano heat, then breath on it for a minute.
I try warm the whole board up before I concentrate anything. Always let it cool before touching or moving too.

I'm thinking about drilling the case and adding a mini switch to send a 3.3v signal to the fan (max speed) and leaving the stock circuit in the off position. Could always add a pot later if I feel its too loud
