if your ps3 is ylod then you have an issue that blowing out dust or repasting the 2 cpu chips will not help ---probability about 1 % will FIX-------sony installs the 2 processors with no lead solder and with time of heating up and cooling down the connections between them will crack ,causing the ylod -----the thermal paste is only there to transfer the heat away , so just repasting will not fix it -----DEFINITLY DO NOT FOLLOW THE THREAD ABOUT PUTTING YOUR BOARD IN THE OVEN AS IT WILL WARP IT AND USUALLY CRACK ----if you don't want to lose what you have in the ps3 then take it to someone that will reball the cpu's and not just heat them up with a flux to try to connect them back to your motherboard-------reballing if you don't know what that is , is where they take your 2 cpu's off of the motherboard and clean away all of the solder ---then resolder it using leaded solder , which will last a lot longer then no lead solder-------as far as repasting your cpu's with artic silver 5 ---it should be done about once a year after it is fixed as to prevent it from drying up and causing ylod

Do a barrel roll!
Hey! i'm really starting to have the need to jailbreak my ps3, with jb you can do so many awesome things, i just got some questions:

1) Will you be able to go Online and play with the original disc as normal without risk of ban? like for example i wanted to have some wallhack and etc on cod, but was a little afraid of getting banned, or in any game just for the sake of having a modded ps3 and being online, etc.

2)Same with Backups games, i'm aware that you can download and play some games, but can you get into online on these too?

3)Are there higher chances of getting YLOD or Brick or killing your ps3 just for flashing and or Jailbreaking it? it does cut the lifespan?

Thanks for your help, i really want to jb but have these concerns, Nice thread doe!

if your freezing in games, it might be a blu-ray drive issue. try doing some recovery mode options. like reinstall firmware, rebuild database, restore file system, format ps3. see if that makes things smoother.
