nealmac Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 First off, is your unit in a well ventilated area? IE not in a cupboard. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/344427-trouble-ps3-fan/?do=findComment&comment=1058055403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurmitchell Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have a 40GB PS3, haven't noticed anything major in the fan, runs as silent as usual. I myself have it in a partially ventilated area. A meter at least area around the side and back fans. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/344427-trouble-ps3-fan/?do=findComment&comment=1058055416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTwister Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Do not worry... ...the fan is just doing it's job. BEWARE though, expect A LOT of it this summer guys!! Your room temp will be warmer, like here at the moment in UK, My PS3 is on the 2nd floor (heat rising and stuff) and the fan kicks in withn 10mins or so. I'd be worried that when the room is warm, that the fan didn't kick in. Just crank the sound up !!

True, it probably goes loud, because it's been on alot, or it's normal. Do not worry... ...the fan is just doing it's job. BEWARE though, expect A LOT of it this summer guys!!

Raindancer Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I bought a crappy £10 fan from Argos and pointed it straight at the station (My front room gets really hot during the day) seems to be helping and the sonystation is quite as hell.

Molotiv Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Indeed the fan is just cooling the system down, its not really a problem (with the ps3 that is, if the xbox would make anymore noise then it normaly makes it would prob be an indication that it will explode in a few sec ) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/344427-trouble-ps3-fan/?do=findComment&comment=1058056958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
