Average temp of ps3 super slim

Pothead , forget about this shitty topic , open a new thread about that issue so you'll get good straight answers to that problem.
Someone might come up with some good answers or not who knows.

 

@Major_Pothead92 , not sure about shutting off, but one of my friend's ps4 turns on randomly. lol and, I think it randomly ejects discs too. I think he was going to use some tape for those sensors.

 

Pothead described his situation to me and he says that his PS3 acts weird when he runs PS2 games just.
Maybe you know what's going on because I think it's a software related issue and since you're more skilled than I am that way , maybe you could help him Pinky.

He says he also checked his temp right after by using Multiman and it indicates temps of 55c so it's weird why the PS3 is woofing.
I suggested using Webman's feature of analyzing the temps while the PS2 emulators running just to check out if it's the emulator's load on his system causing it but he doesn't use Webman.

 

ps2 mode has no dynamic fan control, so you have to set ps2 mode's fan speed. otherwise, the system will likely get hotter than normal.

 

He also mentioned he uses Syscon , hence why I suggested using the Webman function while in game to make sure it's not overloading it since using multiman won't give accurate readings since it will only give idle/unloading game readings , which could be the cause because PS2 games being emulated can have a more heavier impact on the system than just running PS3 native software.

 

you can increase the fan for ps2 software in webman settings. I put mine at 40 or 50%. the fans are definitely audible at that percentage. , but don't worry.

 

Yeah I think that the right choice for Pothead is installing Webman. I also use the Syscon settings , but I got it selected in Webman , it's a very useful tool.

 

Exactly, The Vespa engine head is quite cold when running i.e. from about 10 minutes (at not too high rpm), but as soon as you shut-off the engine the head (and cap) becomes really hot, since the flywheel fan stop spinning.
Btw the engine internal temperature shouldn't increase, since there aren't explosions anymore.

 

I think people may be unaware of how quickly a game console can overheat. with a phat 360, it's less than two minutes with no fan running, so it's probably a good sign that the fan on the ps3 is a little loud. it's comparable.

 

It's a lot quicker than that even on a ps3 if the heatsink is off, try put your finger on a ps3 cpu and boot it. You will have a burned finger in about 10 seconds.

 

i want play ps2 games on my super slim.But i am afraid it will shorten my ps3 life.will anyone share their opinion about this matter?

 

Short answer: No if your console is cooling itself alright it should be fine.

Long answer: All the components in your console only have a finite life, that is like a clock ticking. Even when you don't turn on the console it's components are still degrading. In theory every time you turn on your PS3 you shorten it's life even quicker. Of course for components without moving parts the main wear and tear is heat. Also we know that software PS2 emulation takes a lot of CPU power which generates a lot of heat, technically this is shortening the life of your console even faster than just sitting on the XMB.

 

I keep hearing people say that but when I play stuff like GTA SA on my slim it usually gives me even lower temps than when playing something like rock band. Also just as a side note for people with CECHA/B/C/E my temps were around 45-50C when running PS2 games on my CECHA.
I'll measure the power draw while playing rock band and then while playing GTA VC on my slim and report back the temps and power draw to confirm.

 

I've been playing a few ps2 games lately. I have a CECH3001A that I've owned for exactly 8 years now, never changed the paste or anything (not comfortable doing it myself, cba to pay someone to do it for me.) I just do light maintenance, removing the top of the case and cleaning the dust every month or so.

Anyways, you should be fine playing them on your super slim. In my case I was paranoid something bad was happening because the fan on my system would spool up quite a bit when playing certain ps2 titles. I came to the conclusion that ambient temperature has a lot to do with this in my situation. With the daily temperatures in my area right now, room temperature being reasonable etc my ps3 doesn't have to spool up the fans to keep cool when using the ps2 net emulator. Even after playing a game for 2 hours or so.

But yeah if you have an otherwise healthy console, you should be good to go with the ps2 classics. If the fans spool up, it's warm in your area and you're playing a game that's heavy on the CPU. Based on my testing anyway lmao.

 

tnx for sharing your experience guys.i am going to play ps2 classics on my ps3 super slim.BTW my temp never goes up than 61`c.normally it remains at 54-56`c both cpu and rsx.
