PS3-Sense posted some tips about keeping your PS3 cool, quiet and long living. Some of them are really useful so its worth taking a look at it.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Mind = blown
not having to do anything at all, with no hassle, that's how you keep it cool, quiet and long living
unlike the flopbox, that's hot as hell, jet engine sounds, and short lived right out of the box
you have to put a whole ac unit or a fan in front of the flopbox
my favorite one that the bots like is the wet towel method :P :P :P
I want a way to shut my 360 up. It's like a goddamned airliner in my room.
Good article. I'm going to try elevating the system to see if it stays cooler. I don't have problems with overheating but if it means a drop in temperature I'm all for it.
The only real prevented measure you can take is to keep your PS3 or 360 in a well ventilated area. Try to avoid entertainment cabinets with enclosed spaces or doors. You might be sacrificing your entertainment center looks, but a working console is a great benefit.
Edit: It also helps knowing the internal layout of the system, and what your best option would be to support them.
For instance, when vertical, the PS3 Fat's hard drive is located on the bottom. This can cause the heat from the drive to travel upwards through the internal components. When placed horizontal however, the heat stays in the HDD area and vented out the back.
Next its good to know where the exhaust and intakes are. For my 60gb Fat, I know the majority of heat is pumped out the back, while the cool air intake is taken from the front. With some air being taken from and relieved at the top.
