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.

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

If you wanted you could, but then you'd have to deal with all the components.
