Ps3 65 Nano/90 Nano Version Ps3's

If your having heating issues, just do what i did. I hooked up 2 120mm usb fans behind the ps3. keeps it nice and cool and you really cant see them during the day, and they are hidden at night in the dark.

well, technically, i didnt use usb fans, i cut a usb cable and spliced it onto 2 molex connectors for the fans. still works though.

I thought about doing that because my PS3 emits some serious heat. I used an infrared gun and the PS3 emits more heat then even my 360.

Ya they get hot, but something must be seriously wrong at your place. There is a Youtube video of heat resistance testing of PS3's. They put it in a temperature controlled room and ran the PS3 at full tilt for 24 hours in varying temperatures. At one point the casing of the Ps3 was beginning to melt and yet it continued to run. I can't remember the numbers, suffice to say that it was running in very warm temperatures.

OUCH. My game systems are actually in a smaller section of my entertainment center and when I play I simply leave the door open. My kids have hit a button on the BD remote and started the PS3 with that door shut. Needless to say it got hot and that PS3 got much louder than even my 360.

I did that once too. Accidentally turned it on and didn't notice with the glass door on, then when I got home about 6 hours later the fan was going full tilt for who knows how long. And it was very hot in the cabinet.
I was so scared, but there was no damage or anything and my Ps3 still works about 6 months later so it must've been ok.

I decided to move my Ps3 out of the cabinet though just because. Now the fan purrs like a kitten, I can rarely hear it unless it's a quiet part of the game/movie and I'm paying attention.

I purposefully shut that door on my cabinet if my 1 year old (as of today, WOOT!) is crawling around because she goes straight for the consoles. Surprisingly it hasn't RRoD'd on me from doing this.

I don't know how to mess with that. I just want to buy something that should work the way it's supposed to.

All i need to know is if the metal gear solid 4 bundle ps3 version has the 65 nano or the 90. Cause some guy said that it's the motor storm bundle that has the 90 and the metal gear solid 4 40gig bundle, those have the 90 nano chip he said and the 80 gig metal gear solid 4 bundle is the one with the 65 nano but no one here seems to know for sure. I've been here for HOURS online trying to find out what nano set it has for sure. Since it came out in June 2008 i'm ASSUMING that the metal gear 80 bundle has the 65 nano.

But if ANYONE knows for sure, hook me up so i can read about it.

Can u believe i just called Sony to ask them which of their models has the 90/65 nano chips and then told them i need to know if the metal gear solid bundle has the 90 or 65 nano since it came out in June 08..........the sony rep knew NOTHINGGGGGGG!!

I asked for a manager and they wouldn't put one on. I asked y is it that they have workers like him that don't know the product they are supposed to be giving info on. He kept saying sorry. I told him that sorry isn't answering the question and to put ANYONE on that could tell me what seems to be a question that one needs a masters to answer with a miracle.......does the metal gear solid 80 gig, not 40 gig bundle, have the 65 nano since it came out in 2008 of june and not the 90 nano chip.......he put me on hold for close to 10 minutes to come back and say sorry and that he can't find anyone who knows........so i just hung up. Ur telling me no sony manager, supervisor or rep knows what models carry what nano chip? How retarded is that?
