<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgOYFO9Pdss&t=400">6:40</a> - I totally agree man. I miss this era so much. The good days - Spider-Man 3 was the newest Spider-Man movie, and these PS3s were the hot console (it and the Xbox 360) and they all were luxury machines practically if you saw one in someone's living room. I miss the Spider-Man font. It literally screamed what console it is

ONE guide to RULE THEM ALL!!!<br>took me many moons to per chance upon this 1. I suffered through countless annoying music video formed 'guides', 1's where they tell you what to do while showing you little more than a cheesy view where you catch glimpses of what exactly they are doing. <br> A couple came close but were the wrong system setup, there are at least 3 or 4 different systems just for this ps3 fat! <br>Thank You (-:

I have the exact model and after 15 years decided to take it from storage and turn it on. I remember last time I ran Crysis and got the jet engine noise. So saw this video and decided to re-paste. There was not any dust inside and fan and fins were clean. The thermal paste however was caked hard. Cleaned and replaced with Silver 5 and just put everything together. But I still am getting the loud fan noise. Is it the game? COD makes little fan noise compared to Crysis. But I have to tell you that this video and instructions were to the tee and invaluable. So thanks to Fastech!!!

Recomendo uma pata térmica de 12 watts para fazer DELID e IHS ( coolermaster) e a fan em 35% no MULTIMAN , WEBMAN assim o PlayStation 3 FAT fica estável na temperatura em (64°CELL) (57°RSX) ...
