Putting your PS3 on a laptop cooling pad may help a bit but not a long term solution as they suck air from the bottom and push it to the base.Making holes at the bottom – Sure helps release the heat quicker but creates a hot air pocket at the base and will result in console eventually going up in temperature.Bad Idea because excess dirt and dust will result in YLOD! If you are just making an open intake than you are running into your fan sucking in dirt and dust.But from the videos I saw, I did not find a long term solution that will answer all the problems i.e. So my quest lead me to look at how other people have been addressing overheating issues and I basically came to the understating of increasing the air intake and some people using laptop cooling pad to prevent a hot air pocket forming beneath PS3.
That is why I started to do my own research to find a good solution to prevent my PS3s from overheating and honestly I could not find a single product that had decent reviews for affordable price. Since summer is approaching and many folks including myself and especially those that are living in hotter climates do get concerned about console overheating. If you follow this method properly than I do not see a reason for you to ever get YLOD or Hardware Failure from system overheating. Typically if you play like I do than just installing Control Fan Utility isn’t good enough, because it may help keep system a bit cooler but systems can still run in 70s and 80s (if you are playing for extended periods of time) and that is not going to help you in the system longevity department Hence, YLOD or unexpected shutdowns due to hardware failure occur due to system overheating. Especially, If you have a JB PS3 and your fan is running on SYSCON controls than it typically doesn’t do a good enough job to optimize your fan speed in order to keep your heat sink cool enough.
As you may have noticed thatPS3 does not have very good ventilation that may move air in and out of the console body efficiently. Overheating of your PS3 can occur due to various reason but my concerns were due to two reasons, CFWs are not typically optimized that usually cause your GPU and CPU to overheat easier than OFW PS3s (especially DEX systems). Hello! I am writing this tutorial for all the PS3 owners, especially for the ones that have jailbroken system(s) and are worried about overheating or worse, YLOD issues.
