If you want the guy to really fix your console, ask him if he could do the following:ġ. I do not agree with the "declaring your console dead" -talk though since I've been fixing some units myself from YLOD and they are still going strong after months of heavy duty, but there are no guarantees of course. I've delided a couple of systems now and if you're careful you will not damage anything, especially if you have some "proper" tools (I use a heatgun and $5 painter knife set from eBay, works great!). I'd ask for the money back if it's not specified what kind of service your buying (change of thermal paste only). Regarding CFW, ps3xploit is a much better way of doing it since you won't need to trust that wiggly ass E3 clip to get proper dumps, I have no idea why he would say anything else. There is no way that would "fix" a YLOD issue though.

The SuperSlim i wish i could set up this way but the way the RSX is ventilated on these seems to work better than the other model PS3's and they don't have IHS or full heats sinks like other PS3's.Ĭlick to expand.This guy doesn't seem to wanna do the real work needed, he's basically only using a screw driver and changing thermal paste on consoles, which is fine if stated so.

And i have both my Slims set up this way. My temps rarely hit above 60 no matter what I do now even under heavy load and stress. Its not too loud, but I use a headset when gaming and surround sound system for films and music so I barely notice the noise anymore. I don't like them horizontal because of the crap vents and crap clearance for them. Temps were hitting 80 on the CELL and 85 on the RSX on the XMB 10 inutes after booting before I cleaned and replaced the Thermal paste so i did it before any damage was done to either chip.Īll my PS3's are on vertical stands. Other than that all 3 of my PS3's were cleaned out and have had the thermal paste replaced about 2 months ago with MX-4, The only thing I didn't do is de-lid the CELL and RSX and replace the paste and stuff underneath.Ĥ0c on the CELL and 43c on the RSX at boot. I have only heard of this happening with a few other people. All I do is disable the dynamic control and set it to a constant speed.

It only happens to me after I re-install webMAN MOD after a FW re-install.
