Ah, you can basically call this the "Pre-YLOD" stage; especially for PS3 slims. Your best answer is to switch to PSITA 4.50 DEX and use PSITA Manager to help control your fan in the Fan option. Search videos on YouTube for helpful PSITA fan settings, or online.
Switching CFW is a drag I know, but it's your best option aside from repairing the fan.
