Hello everyone.
I recently bought a ps3 slim 2012A, it has a heating problem, the fan is running very fast and the CPU is running at 76ºC while the RSX is running at 43ºC

Initially I thought it could be a problem with the temperature sensor, but maybe this is a old thermal grease on die. what do you guys think? Does this appear to be a problem that you would solve with delid?

Edit:
I already cleaned the video game, and I changed the thermal paste for a good quality, silver thermal paste

I think you should clean the old thermal paste and apply a new one. Delid is dangerous, avoid it if you can.
 
I would simply just clean the system of dust and apply new thermal paste to the IHS's of the CELL/BE and RSX and see if this solves the issue before attempting to de-lid as you can kill the PS3 if done incorrectly, even one small scratch on the CELL/BE is enough to kill the system.
 
@jcorrea and @Cypher_CG89 I forgot to say, I already cleaned the video game, and I changed the thermal paste for a good quality, silver thermal paste

These temperatures that I mentioned before (CPU 76ºC and RSX 43ºC), are with the new thermal paste

More than 30c difference between CELL and RSX. You need a Delid. But before that, you should try this one last thing.

Dude, I love you! Apparently it worked, I will do some tests, but before when I power it was already at 60ºC + now it starts at 40 and goes up gradually

The problem improved, but it didn't solve it, so I decided to open it again and change the eraser, I put on a harder eraser! And now it works! in IDE, CELL does not exceed 60ºC

Here we have a beautiful photo of the old eraser, with the molds of the CELL transitors

Wow! Can I ask how you molded it so well? It looks PERFECT!
