GPU and RSX temperature

changing thermal on heat sink won't matter if paste under the ihs is dried up. That's just going to make your new thermal paste work twice as hard. There is a slight break in period on thermal pastes from all info I have gathered but I've never seen a difference after time has passed

I had this issue a few years ago with a cechL. When i tried to remove the ihs i made a scratch on the top of the cpu. So i had to buy a new ps3 on ebay: slim with a semi-broken bd drive.

Removing the IHS is a painfull experience...

Why don't you post a screenshot of the CPU/RSX temps Sman web page after 20mn gaming?
You should be able to use the web command from your PC hxxp://<ps3-ip-address>/cpursx.ps3 while you are in-game.
The current fan speed will be at the bottom of the temps page (in percentage value).

Sorry for the delay
I changed the setting to MAX 75%
Lowest 35%
Now the difference is 7 to 10 degrees lol
30 minutes of play

The temperature remains equal to 60 degrees in both CPU and RSX
Then the difference comes with force

PS3 sMAN.png You could just go manual and crank up the fan high
I do it to keep mine supper cool mine is set to 95% Fan and I use head phones so I do not hear the jet stream

I did not understand
When RSX warms up more than the CPU has already presented YLOD problem is it?

Well YLOD can happen if either are to high for a long time usually caused by warping of the board and solder joints go
another words do not run above 80c for extended times or you will have this problem

@bguerville
I'm scared
I changed the setting to MAX 70%

In your country (assuming by image host ;)) temperature is very high compared to most NA-EU users. To be honest is hard to said for me that your PS3 have problem, for sure 75c is high, too high. But to really judge your example I need to compare it to other case from your region. Everything above 65c is slowly killing PS3, everything above 70c is doing it faster. Is due to EU stupidity and RoHS directive... But, back to topic, is hard to judge when we are not aware your air temperature.

I live in Brazil
The daily temperature is 32 to 38 degrees.

You should get those temps down by setting Auto to 65c but you will have a loud fan or take my rout and set manual to 95%

You are in a hot spot so lets just say those high temps are normal but you will have to do something you may not like loud fan

*sad kozarovv is looking at thermometer that is showing 3c...

To be honest your temperatures do not look so bad in that environment. I doubt you can keep there your PS3 at full load under 65c. For sure changing paste is good idea, but only if you already didn't changed it for more than 2 years (assuming that good quality one is used), Difference between CELL and RSX is noticeable, this can be bad sign. But also here is hard to said, manufacturing process is not perfect. Some chips can work at low temp, some have lower abilities.

If you have some GOOD quality service there you can take a risk of changing paste under IHS. Is very risky operation, but for sure will help to keep PS3 in best condition. IF DONE CORRECTLY. Imo You don't need that yet if noise is not a big deal for you. Try to keep it close to 70c and you should be good for now.

But this is only my opinion, keep in mind this is not best solution. Is more like middle-of-the-road between safety and common sense.

My suggested settings for sMAN/wM/wMM:
• Set the minimum fan speed to 40% and auto to 68°C.
• Or try manual 60% (or 50%). Set PS2 to 60% or 50% too. These settings should keep your console below 70°C

Also place the console in a ventilated location.
e.g. Behind the TV or in a shelf with the back closed are not good places, because the heat is recycled.

I will do this
Thanks for the sugestion
Alias thank you all for the help

Caraca, that explains a lot, kkk! That said, your Ps3's temps don't look so bad. Like master @aldostools have suggested, set the lowest fan speed to 40% and the highest temp to 68c and you'll be set. I live in Espírito Santo and I'm using these settings in my CECH-2101a since webMan 1.28.

As you can see my RSX is 10 degrees higher.
Your CPU is 10 degrees higher.

I don't really understand the worry though, your screenshots always show the console running at the minimum speed you set up in dynamic mode ie 36%...the fan speed never increases???
If you can really keep your cpu/rsx temps under 75c with a constant fan speed of 36% then the situation isn't so bad...

Are you sure these screenshots are taken after 20mn gaming?


Btw generally speaking, if I had a console that needed a fan running at speed above 60-70% to keep under the console temp under 75c, I would get rid of it immediately.
I personally find the noise to be unbearable as soon as the fan speed reaches 50%, never mind above 60%...

The problem is precisely the noise that the cooler does, with these my settings makes a lot of noise.
Just play The Last of Us to hit easy 75c to 80c depending on the configuration
