The SYSCON (stock) fan settings for the PS3 (any model) were absurdly, unreasonably conservative. They prioritized having the fan be as quiet as possible over the system's actual health so much to the point it honestly killed and still kills PS3s, mainly the original fat models that still had an incorrect underfill for the RSX (long video warning).
That all said, I personally would still look for a backwards compatible fat as my potential forever console as long as it's been "Frankenstein modded" to have the smaller-size, less-heat, more-reliable 40nm RSX. I completely understand their decision in removing such a huge component and advertised feature of the PS3 to drastically cut costs and course-correct with how unpopular (and unaffordable) the PS3 was at the time, but that doesn't mean I have to like the feature removal. Plus with CFW you can adjust the fan speed curve to a more actually sane one for longevity. I currently have just a CECH-2001A Slim, which isn't even really the best Slim since it has a 65nm RSX instead of the 40nm, so it runs quite hot. More hot than my fully decked out desktop PC that I built myself running at full bore. ____________________ YouTube Twitch |
