Hardware Is my PS3 slim runing hot?

[MetoMeto]

Hi all!

So i got PS3 slim cech 3003B with hen.

i cleaned it inside and repasted it with cooler master paste.

I went in webman settings to see temps and left it like that for about 30 min.
Now the temp in upper-right corner is:

CPU: 59°C | RSX: 67°C
Fan: 29% in XMB

It's stable, its staying there.

Can someone tell me is that normal (also ambient temperature here is not that cool) and what could be wrong?

Also when i touch it below the console, where cpu/rsx is, its pretty warm, and also on the bac of the console, abowe where hdmi cable goes, above it.

Could it be that u put to much thermal paste, to little, or something else?

Heres the pic of thermal paste and how much i put:

I've always smoothed out thermal paste. those temps are about average, though I'd keep an eye on it. a rule of thumb is you don't want one temperature to be anymore than 10-12 degrees C higher than the other one. that usually indicates a problem. mine might be like 64C for cpu and 67C for rsx after about an hour with a 2500 series with maybe 34% fan speed. it runs hotter than my 360 when both are idle, and my 360 is a falcon (an older phat). a large part of it depends on fan speed, whether there's a problem.

That's a weird ass thermal paste application.

as long he doesn't get thermal paste all over the board it is fine.

btw, the cell can endure heat better than rsx, so the rsx generally runs a little hotter. as long as the fan speed isn't 60%+ while on idle (probably even playing a game), those are good temps. 68 and below is considered good, which is why wmm has that as the default temp threshold.

if you mean wide line, thats how its getting out of tube.

Though id apreciate if you share how you think is good way?

i set wmm to auto "68" instead of system controlled.

this is something weird i noticed
so im playing sonic generations 30 min. now, and
when i wanna see temps i click ps button, and with start and select i see readings:

cpu 58
rsx 66
fan 28-40


by the way, should it be almost hot/warm below the console?

i've managed to keep 42º 44º respectively, with 35% min fan speed. It is a little loud, but i became used to phat ps4 noise, so it is not so bad

 

[godreborn]

best way to drone out fan noise is with speakers. the only system I might hear is the 360, trying to keep it below 60 degrees C with a phat.
