i would like to add that putting your ps3 flat aint good. the standing position helps the air distribute better.
put your ps3 flat play for half an hour and then put your hand on the bottom, its red hot..!
stand it up do the same and notice the difference, its due to gpu cpu positioning,
also a spinning disc and the skirt on the disc drawer blows air out rather than in.
iv never had anything brake because of smoking
I had my fat ps3 on life support for 2 years, it contained no upper outer case, my disc drive had a piece of wood under to buffer the heat from the sinc as it was causing the sensor to rev the fan to max,
it finaly decided to die when cod mw3 got played,
gpu went puff 
good write up though, most is correct

Your PS3 is now immune from overheating.

smoking hurts over time .. so does using the damn thing, which one do you think killed my ps3 first.
and I would agree that if you done all your cleaning tasks you could keep it alive,
I think I left mine to long before I built up the courage to open it, and replace the paste,
when I did eventually replace it, I think the damage was all ready done,
everything after that was just delaying the inevitable, still kept it going for 2 years,
everyone in game had cones out there heads ( hot gpu) but it worked |

the airflow of the fan passes the heat sink not the motherboard or chips,
they are in cased, when I did open it up it was full of dust, but on opening the casing of the motherboard, after gently removing it from the heat sink, the board was spotless, tobacco stains, there was no discoloration apart from on the gpu from overheating,
and I don't sit and blow smoke at my ps3, its behind my tv out of little fingers reach, when I am smoking theres a window open and the airflow seems to take it to the kitchen,
im not trying to start a row, im just saying id like to see some proof of something actually dying from smoke, that's all
everything that's ever broke on me has been due to over use |
