PS3 PS3 Super Slim RSX Overheating

[edukkk]

Temp: CPU: 54C RSX:80C

i know that is super hot, but, just a thermal paste change and a good cleaning can solve this problem?

this PS3 rsx is always hot, i can turn the PS3 off for like 2 days and when i turn it on it will be at least 70C on RSX.

i bought this PS3 in 2016, i cleaned once and the thermal paste was never changed

ps:sorry for the writing mistakes, english is not my first language

Well, a replacement of the thermal paste could help but we are not sure if is going to be enought because the temperature you are having actually in RSX is very high

You should tell your PS3/motherboard models... or at least mention if your RSX is one of those models without IHS
In those RSX models there is a copper pipe touching directly in the silicon at the center of the RSX... that point is critical, is a tiny squared piece of copper and it needs to be flat (but the copper is a soft metal so it could lose his flatness easilly)

he is a cech 4314c

if the ihs is that cover on the rsx mine don't have

Ok, then your RSX looks like this

And the heatsink looks like this

The point is... in other PS3 models where the RSX have a IHS there is an additional intermediate layer of thermal paste (in between the IHS and the silicon), is hidden so we never know how good/bad it could be... or if is the responsible of the overheating

But your RSX doesnt have IHS, and the heatsink is touching the RSX at his center with that squared piece of copper
We dont know if there is a problem in the squared piece of copper, but keep attention to it while you are replacing the thermal paste, and also at the screws in the clamp at the back that does the pressure
