the cooler can really work ah?

some ppl say yes some ppl say no, perhaps u can ask deyamoto for it, anyway i think the best cooler is ur room temperature,so how to make the room cooler? air-cond... lol

My PS3 fat 60GB after serving me since 2007 has rested in peace. I've reballed the PS3 myself about a month ago, and it died on the first day of CNY this week. Reballed it again, it ran fine until I started up Unchartered 3, and died again. Reballed it again, it started fine, but the moment I run any game, it dies again. Reballed again, and this time, cannot start.

I used Artic Silver thermal paste by the way. Oh well, it served me well anyway...

my room don't have aircon and my fat ps3 ylod after 3 years of service..so aircon or not ..don't give much of a difference


reballing also don't work..i think sony purposely damage the fat one by it's update

Uncharted 3 , Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 the rest new games im not so sure but still killing phat ps3 users

for lastime (version 3.xx) repair YLOD is permanent fix,but now

to those who fixing 2nd time YLOD wont be last longer most of phat user after fix they do backup then just let go and get slim set.

YLOD can be repair not?and how much cost for repairing it

Erm...That's a serious allegation that you have in your thought there, mate. I had mine "beep, beep, beep" after I've downloaded patch 2.00 for Gran Turismo 5. I think Polyphony Digital made my fat buddy sick. LOLZ!

Last I heard was about RM200.

wow if tat is the case tat fat ps3 serve u for 4-5 years adi, at least better than us...

i not very sure bout tat, because 1 of my fren, he is super rich he got a home theater room of coz wit aircond as well, so everytime he play he on his aircond and his PS3 still working fine from PS3 juz released until NOW... but he not tat often play, because he got every kind of consoles and handheld, so it seperate his gaming time in different consoles and handheld

so means firmware makes differences? or game make differences?

urm depends on the problem for more enquiry u can ask deyamato...

LOL~ my fat fixed for the 3-4 times adi, ytd juz started to play a game and pop out a notification said overheating and the light keep blinking but the game still running then gone... LOL~



Anyway I heard rumor said that PS4 is coming this year... Perhaps tahan for this year then get PS4? LOL~

The possibility of PS4 to be announced on the forth quarter of 2012 is likely. However, the release of the hardware itself is highly unlikely or near to impossible. Give it a year or two and PS4 would be materialised. That's how I see it.

For my fat buddy, there's no notification about overheating or anything. It beeps three times and automatically shut down by itself. My buddy is pretty sick and he can only play songs, video, light gaming (for gaming that uses the Bluray disc...this depends on luck).

owh means not going to release tat soon yet? LOL~

Haha, my fat PS3 never giv any notification, last time it juz shut down and never being able to start back the machine even after 1 day cooldown, then fixed it adi, played for few weeks, problem come again and the machine still can start after it shutdown itself, but it wont last, then few days later, cant start at all... LOL~ this is the 1st time i saw the notification, it still can start, but i bet after few days the machine will juz back to YLOD state and no longer being able to start back...

New games = new firmware required.

yeah i noe, so is the game which cause YLOD or newer firmware cause YLOD?

yeah,now you know why so many phat ps3 so weak now;you play multiplayer even worse cant stable the performance.

few games are killing which is:
Battlefield 3
Uncharted 3(naughty dog forum alot complaints)
Modern Warfare 3

not sure the rest upcoming.

add Heavy Rain & Dark Souls for killin my phat

Fat died when they want to died....

but surprisingly my FAT PS2 still alive when the SLIM one died.

My PS2 (not the slim version) still working and it's almost 10 years of age. My PS3 (not the slim version) is on dying stage and it's almost 3 years of age. These days, electronics material are getting...Sigh.

it's because of heat

more graphic = more heat

heat that killed the hardware

Mine (60gb Phat) died after 3 years of service too. It's funny because the console wasn't turned on for about a month or so and just suddenly YLOD.

Like 0300078 said, they die when they want to die.

u can see big difference between the fat and slim ps3.

Fat one.... play Uncharted 2 and GOW3 back then the fan so loud i can hear it even i sit 3 meters away from it.

My slim PS3..... langsung tak ada bunyi.

guess the component and the design in it big different. Now i play marathon GOW1-3 for 1 week no shutdown PS3 also can.

I think PS3 slim design dissipates heat much more efficiently than fat one. All the hot air literally blown up hard at the back panel, that sometimes the back cables can become extremely hot, and if the HDMI connector handle is made of metal, it can really burn your hands!

I can still remember how my fat PS3 sounds like a jet engine when comes to the resource-intensive train level in Uncharted 2!
