noisy ps3 fan?

Question

i have a ps3 60gb and the fan inside is quite noisey almost from when i turn it on. If watching a dvd or playing games you can hear it over the volume if u listen for it.

I have looked over and over for an answer to fix this but came up with nothing.

i want to know how to fix this problem if there is a way thanks!

Answer 1

1). Your PS3 stands in the place, where isn't enough space for a proper air flow (10cm gap required);
2). A small particle of dust is stuck in your vent - you can use a weal vacuum cleaner (same as used for PC cleaning, don't use a household vacuums).
3). Serious tech problem.

In any case - call Sony's technical support.

Answer 2

it is perfecly normal the ps3 has somuch power that heat is produced so the fan cools the ps3 unlike the 360 that overheats.

Answer 3

The absolute best thing you can do is keep it in an open area, with tons of air to breathe in.

Answer 4

i think you should call sony because it should not be loud.
