Can’t trickshot me!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi guys! I have a PS3 Slim Model ( CECH-2004A ).
Today, the fan ( I guess it's the fan ) suddenly started to do a very strange sound. It isn't that strong sound when fan goes fast for avoid the overheating ( the temperatures of my PS3 are still low ) , but it's a loud sound that, more the fan speed is faster, and more it's loud. So it does this strange sound even if the speed is low, I don't know how to say, it's like the fan isn't spinning very well or it's placed bad. I don't know.
Should I open the PS3 and look for something?

I did some research and i can't find much about slim's having it, but i guess it's same process.

It is a sign of Ylod. From how long do you have the ps3? I suggest you to change the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5. Watch some videos on youtube.

Do you have CFW? If yes install Control Fan Utility You must login or register to view this content.
