Rather than just more features taking a toll on XMB-SPU of the Cell, try opening up your PS3 and behold the amount of dust it has inside. Dust build ups just clogs the amount of trapped heat in the PS3. The fan is automated to run at full-speed when theres alot of bottlenecked heat on the bottom side of the console(which means where the Cell and RSX is.
I didn't experience any high speed fan in GTA4 or MGS4 playing in a fan room and in the afternoon after the new firmware updates. Although I do get my fan running at full speed when playing in an exceptionally hot afternoon though, where my room reaches a temp of 26c and above!
what's the combination to clean the ps3 again?
anyone know?
mine is probably filled with:
dust
cat fur
dog fur
but the fan doesnt come on
ALL the time...
just when it's exceptionally hot.(usually 15 minutes into MGO it will come on-especially nowadays seeing how it's so freakin hot!)
i doubt i'm the only one here who thinks so,but the BRAVIA is ridiculously hot!
play for a few minutes and i start sweating in my own god damn room!
in comparison,i can play on my living room philips and not feel anything at all.
even after hours of play,the tv is relatively cool.
i think the problem with my situation is that;
1)im in my bedroom,where air ventilation is at a bare minimum(usually windows are shut even on the hottest day)
2)my table is quite small,and i have not much room-so my tv and ps3 are quite close together. add up the heat emanating from the PS3 AND the BRAVIA as well as my laptop,and you've got quite the sauna
