Noticing my PS3 slim getting quite hot of late and ramping the fan way up even when just watching a movie. I've tried all the obvious things; moving it out of the cabinet (which has plenty of air anyway), standing it upright, cleaning it out etc. to no avail. Tired of the noise I pulled it apart and have cleaned the crusty TIM of the CPU and GPU.
Since the warranty is void now anyway I was considering cutting a hole in the top of the PS3 and ghetto mod mounting two vertical heatsinks. Trouble is the block on most heatsinks is just too small (see pics). Wondering how much cooling I'd sacrifice or if anyone knows of some kind of way to get better coverage. Maybe a way of making a block myself?
Old Cooler Master Hyper 212+ I found.
Cheers.
