overheating

Basically, a few weeks ago I got a CECH-2004A Slim from my cousin, I recently took it to a tech store, where they cleaned it out and repasted it for me. Prior to repasting, I used it only for YouTube, no games. After repasting I got HEN, and just now CFW, I thought I just needed to jailbreak...

Hello fellow members of the PSX Place community, I picked up a CECH-2004a and 2 controllers on FB Marketplace for 28€ which has a disc drive issue, it being the game wont read. A "Technichian" from the Seller tried fixing it but to "no avail" (He lost all the screws holding the 2 Cases together...

Tried posting on reddit but they kept taking my f'ing post down lol. I have a fat, not backwards compatible ps3. Installed 4.91 hen with mmcm and webman. That is all "homebrew" I have on the PS3. I used ps2classicsgui to make simpsons the hit and run. played once for 1.5 hours with no issues...

Recently, I got a working Fat CECHL with 6.3k hours of uptime and 1.3k boots that hasn't been opened before, the warranty sticker is still on it. As I only just got into the PS3 recently, while I try my best to read up on as much as possible, things keep surprising me. Given that I read about...

Hello. After successfully removing IHS from both RSX and CELL I tripped one of capacitors from RSX during the final cleaning. I decided to turn on the console without it. It gave out 3-beep and flashing red light 2-3 seconds after start. According to Sony it means overheating. Then I got it...

Dear PSX Place Community, I have completely cleaned my PS3 Slim, replaced thermal paste etc. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the CPU temperature. Even while playing or after, the temperature of the CPU is 74-75°C, RSX is okay. Before cleaning idle temperatures: CPU 74°C RSX 65°C After...

Hello guys, I recently got my hands on a DECR-1400a unit, sold as defective because it wouldn't even stay on for 5 minutes. I opened it up repasted it, installed webman mod and I noticed a few things that I haven't encountered before. On xmb the rsx idles at 35 degrees and the cell around...

I bought used ps3 fat I cleared everything fan, case, cell, rsx but without delid because I don't know how to make it safety. After assembly console I turned on and checked temperatures: in XMB: GPU 55C / CPU 66C in-game 15 min. GPU 60C / CPU 69C in-game 30 min. GPU 60-61C/ CPU 71-74C So I...

Hi everyone. I would appreciate if you could help me clarify something. This morning my colleague gave me his son's ps4 pro (star wars battlefront 2 edition) to clean and change thermal paste. He said the console is loud like jet engine, and since it had warranty stickers it was clear console...

There is this myth about the PSX having overheating issues floating around the internet. However, I highly doubt that's actually true. My DESR-7700 only measures around ~30 - 32 °C after playing through the first part (about 20-30 minutes) of Final Fantasy X when measured using PS2Temps shortly...

I bought a week ago a CECHA01 PS3 dated January 2007 and it plays great, for $90 on FB Marketplace. I feel like a kid on Christmas. It sounded like an airplane when turned on. I opened it up to find tons of dust, an excess of white thermal paste, and the grey and power cables in the fan jumped...

Hey Guys i think i need a little help here making a decision about maintaining my ps3 here's the story I've got a little nostalgic yesterday when i saw my ps3 slim in my basement on a shelf collecting dust so i decided to plug it into my tv and play some old games, about 15 min or so i checked...

I had this PS3 Slim for one year and it was overheating ever since. I didn't have time nor the mood to disassemble it and do the usual stuff. I fixed it by taking the PS3 to the balcony where it was a nice and cool weather so the CPU wouldn't overheat but at in the summer it was just as bad...

Hey, I bought a PS3 Slim CECH-2504b (DATA CODE: 0D) yesterday, with a damaged blu ray (does not read PS3 games). The console had CFW Rebug 4.80 installed. I put my own hard drive in and installed OFW 4.84 and then CFW REBUG REX 4.84.2 COBRA 8.1. Another thing I did was installing webMAN 1.47.35...

Hello, i recently bought a second hand PS3 super slim and the fan was making some loud (not extremely loud) noise after minutes turned on, so i have cleaned it and aplied a new thermal paste. The same fan noise again. I oppened again and noticed something.There is a piece with a screw on top of...

So I just got a PS3 right when I got it I cleaned it up and changed the thermal paste then jailbroke it. I have the fan speed configured at 45% manual through webman. On the XMB The RSX would be at 49C-52C and the CPU at 50C-53C. Playing games the RSX would go up to 54C-56C and the CPU 54C-57C...

Hi guys, so I have SlimCECH2004b (the 65nm one) and my cpu is running really hot. RSX tops out at about 50 C while cpu will keep climbing until auto fan kicks in at about 70 C. This all happens after i cleaned and repasted my ps3 and set fan to 40% in webman. So what should i do? Try delidding...

Now hear me out, although I haven't checked the insides yet, I will open it further after I get my hands on the right screwdrivers. I'll clean it thoroughly and replace the thermal paste if deemed necessary. However I never hear the fan blowing hard, the PS4 kinda gets hot. But not to the point...

So, i bought my ps3 second hand from a friend, i trust him so i bought it without worring about anything. A while ago i opened it up Just to see if it was dirty or in bad shape, and it was fine. Today i turned the ps3 on and opened dj hero, after 1 minute and the ps3 beeped and the Red Light was...
