Ps3 ylod'ed for the second time last night. Grrrrrrr. Oh well, I was thinking about changing up the thermal compound and maybe redlining the stock fan anyway

It overheated and desoldered either the cpu or gpu. A fix involves stripping it down to motherboard and frying it with a heat gun. Then reassembling with new thermal transfer compound. Usually only lasts a few months.
To extend those months I'm thinking about taking advantage of the ps3's variable speed fan. Either by hardwiring it for full speed, switch, or maybe a potentiometer, or some combination of the three. |

There's the fix were you drip liquid solder under it, then heating it. Of course all these console fixes are really ghetto and are harmful. Putting a concentrated 1500f heat beam on a cpu is not good.
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. Last edited by Rangerscott; 11-24-2010 at 02:39 PM.. |

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 |
