how long should youi keep a ps3 on b4 it overheats?

Answer 1

That depends first and foremost on the ambient temperature, that is, the temperature in the room it's in.

When I got my ps3 I had no air conditioning and found that if I used it while the ambient temperature was 78 f or more, the fan would kick into high gear within about an hour, and I would shut it down for safety.

Now I live in a cooler place, I generally don't use my ps3 when the temperature is above 72 f. For added security I open the door and let in some cold air, too.

In any case, there is no reason to leave a ps3 on for 3 days, unless you're some freak of nature who needs no sleep. Shut it down when you're not using it. It won't have cooling problems in standby mode, but if you're smart you use a dust cover (don't have one? use a pillowcase), and if so you should turn the power off too, in case the ps3 is accidentally activated wirelessly and overheats under the dust cover.

Dust is an important enemy of the ps3 too, it goes hand in hand with heat.

Answer 4

The Playstation 3 cooling fan is built with such perfection, you will never run into any problems with the cooling fan. You can literally leave it on for forever (if you so choose) and it will never overheat.

Answer 5

3 Days or more, as long as it's in an open space w/ plenty of air around it.
