PS3...hot and loud or is it just me? - Blu-ray Forum

Crankshaft · 03-23-2007, 04:58 PM

The player is in a semi-enclosed cabinet with the exhaust of the player pointed to the open area of the cabinet. I have the two tower with bridge cabinetry with all my DVD's in one side and all my equipment on the other side. Both towers have glass doors. I really haven't tried the PS3 in the open yet...that was my next task but I did have the PS3 playing with the glass door open and still found it loud.

Ah, this is a common issue a lot of people seem to report. It shouldn't be making any loud noises though.

Your PS3 needs to be in a completely open area(like on a shelf or glass hdtv stand) with at least 6 inches apart from everything else it should be fine. It does get hot, but it honestly doesn't get any hotter than your typical lcd tv that's been left on for an hour or so.

Just keep it in open air and don't block any vents.

Mine is quiet... Very quiet. You want loud? The 360, is by far the loudest console that I have.

I don't even know what my ps3 sounds like. If it weren't for the lights, i wouldn't know it's on.

If you think the ps3 is noisy, try the 360(fan) or the dreamcast(disc accessing).

Even in quiet scenes in a BD I can only hear the PS3 fan if I really try block out the movie and listen for it. My PS3 is about 6-8 feet away from me.

I'm with Amon. Guess, we're amongst the more fortunate.

Move the PS3 somewhere else, it took me three different locations till I got it right. Now it never gets loud or hot.
