Hey everyone. So I was wondering what the optimal temps are for a PS3. As most of you know, the magic of DeanK and other PS3 scene developers has made it possible to get real-time temperatures even in-game. My PS3 is a FAT MGS4 Edition. I bought it used and it's probably been used for 5 years minimum. And now the CPU/RSX go up to 80C under the heavy load of games like TLOU and GoW3. I've set the fan to 40% speed using webMAN and room temp is about between 25-30 most of the time. So is this normal or should I be worried? Far as I know, webMAN and PS3's default fan controllers go to Defcon mode (jet mode!) once the temps reach 85 and above. So I'm guessing 80C is not critical.Please note that these temps are measured using webMAN, in-game and under heavy load which is very different than measuring in multiMAN. So if you're going to measure yours and post here, make sure you do it while in-game and after at least 30 mins of playing. I would appreciate it very much if you guys can help me out here and confirm that my paranoia is not for no reason, or help ease it off. I say paranoia because I had a Slim PS3 before this one and it had about tge same temps as this one under load. So I opened it up so many times that I finally broke it completely! I changed the thermal paste, cleaned the dust and all that to no avail. So one time I decided to remove the heatspreaders on the CPU/RSX and change the paste under it, and that's when I broke it. I'm an avid gamer so I need this PS3 to live a few more years, so I want to be safe. If 80C is too much, I'll shell out the money to get it fixed.
