This video is fantastic because you can actually see where the little thermal pads (the little squishy ones) go, in 4k. Everybody else's video from a decade ago was too blurry to see how the little thermal pads were. Helped out my playstation for sure when the pads fell off and I forgot where they went and was having freezing and red beeps.

Update: From my first comment your previous video, I must mention that spot where thermal paste is (next where the GPU is not on the motherboard) there is no area or sign of thermal pads but three spaces or gaps right above the fan assembly comparing to this model. The chip that you pointed out discoloring in comparison to my mine looks a bit small in size and in great shape also no place or sign of thermal pads.
The design his demonstrating looks like a 20 series Mines 25 a bit different on disc drive ports u can see And the 30 where the fan is under the board model u can remove unless u remove the mother board first

@@uFixTek actually it was Wondering since you are experienced in this. This was my first time doing it and I did it well it's just are the PS3 naturally loud? I cleand the fans and everything and it sounds like a vacuum
no IT should NOT sound like a jet engine! i need to know what brand model of thermal paste you used? and did you place the bracket of the CPU GPU all the way down screwed?
My english not very good but this is very helpful tutorial video. Thanks! My only purpose is to clean my PS3 slim because whenever I play games it causes fan sound louder. I disassembled it and it has a lot of dust but as soon as I found out that my thermal paste is dry, I also cleaned it and reapplyed the same thermal paste as yours. Now my PS3 Slim not sounded like Jet Engine anymore and the temps also decreases. 👌

Hi, I have a slim model and I will be cleaning out and applying new thermal paste. What is the difference between this video and the older video you did in july 2018? Which video do you recommend I follow?
one video the dvd drive has the cable under the dvd drive on this one the dvd drive the connectors are not underneath. thank you for the feedback and your support.
Thank you, this was a great and very detailed video! I have a question for you if you don’t mind. When I had initially done this job, I used 1.5mm thermal pads (particularly soft). My model number is CECH-2001B, but it looked exactly like yours. Is the thickness for thermal pads I used an issue?

The best, most detailed, clearest guide I've ever seen, done with best practices in everything!, I guess don't judge a video by its views then! 😅. what I've also would of liked to see was a detailed cleaning process in action for all the parts and what to do and not to do when performing it!, also does removing the HDD erases, formats or corrupt the data in it ?

i have made a mistake saying .3mm , you need to get 2mm or 2.5mm any of them its fine, as the pressure from plates will press on them to get the best contact. we use 2.5mm for best results.

@@uFixTek thank you and your very welcome I subscribed and liked the video. this is my first time that I’m gonna clean my ps3 slim I have never cleaned it and I had it for 13 years now so it is time to clean up
Hello there. Really nice video here. My PS3 is overheating and I want to attempt re-applying new thermal paste. I would like to ask a couple of questions though - _Once I disconnect the hard drive or any of these components, will all my save game data be erased?_ Please forgive my ignorance, I have never had to do this before. Also, how much thermal paste do you suggest I buy? 2 grams? 4 grams? More?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: #1. disconnecting you hard drives it won't erase or do anything to your files or games. and i always recommend to get the 20Grams it will last you long time and you can use it on laptops and much more. but if you want to live on the edge go for 5 grams over: i will recommend you this: amzn.to/3xbSy8E or amzn.to/3rQEYX5
@@uFixTek Thank you for your help! I opened up my PS3 and cleaned out the dust from the fan and other places. When I buy thermal paste, I will then try and tackle the re-applying of the paste. For now, the cleaning *_REALLY_* helped out. Before I cleaned it, my PS3 would get super hot after just 10 minutes and the fan would run very fast and loud. I took it apaart following your video, took it outside and with an electric air pump, I blew all the dust out from the fan, heat sink, power supply and as much as I could from the rest of the console. Now my PS3 runs super quiet! I couldn't even tell it was on! I wound up playing it for a few hours and it was still silent. Just for safety purposes, I put a small fan on the side to blow cool air through the side ducts. I will buy the thermal paste and 99% alcohol. Again, thank you for your video and your advice. I subbed and gave a like.
AWESOME! , i'm glad that you got it serviced :P, if its running quietly, then no need to repaste, if you see the fan get loud even after cleaning the dust then yes "its time to repaste". if you ever need any help or request let me know and i will try my best to help out. i appreciate all your support :) you can use my amazon general link to do your daily purchases and i get few change back :) amzn.to/2V71CPg good luck my friend :)
Anthony 0 seconds ago If you disconnect the fan from the assembly it is in, you don't have to unplug it from the motherboard. Keep the fan close to the board and tape it to the metal to keep it from getting crimped/cut. I just though of that and will be doing that on mine! It has plenty of wire to extend from it.
I appreciate the help, i have a question though. Those little peices of thermal pad. Were the all the same thickness? And can i use any thermal pad? I had one peice fall off i want to order some i just want to make sure its the right size.
Thanks ✌ for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P Regarding your question: use this pads 1.5mm you get better results than normal 1mm amzn.to/3BH5VQG
@@uFixTek thank you, so all of them can be replaced with a 1.5? I only ask because i thought in your video you mention .3 mm thick. I think at 14:53. I just want to be certain.
@@travispeterson3924 the thing is that.3mm will do the job right, but the 1.5 does a better job based on out thermal component testing as the reason is that there is enough pressure to squeeze the pads down and then because it was 1.5 and squeezed down by pressure it does way better job. But the same case doesn’t apply on laptops, only here because of few factors. Therefore i would recommend 1.5 but anything from .3 up to there will be good.
Nice video. Everything is nicely shown, and i've been able to get rid of dust and other unholy things lurking in my PS3, as well as replacing the thermal paste. Though the fan is now less furious during playtime, it still roars a little (maybe Dynasty Warriors 8 is THAT powerful.....), and i still have doubt about whether my thermal paste is doing its proper job or not (I used NT-H1 from Noctua). Anyway, i got to see the insides of my old PS3. For that alone, i guess it was worth the click and repair attempt.

Great video. But I have a question about thermal pads. In the video you mentioned 0.3-0.4mm thermal pads, if I heard correctly. Then you wrote in the description “Best Thermal Pads 2.5mm”, and the link inserted next to this phrase leads to thermal pads with 1.0mm thermal pads. To be honest, I am mistaken about this, for the same reason, please tell me the exact thickness of the thermal pad, I will be very grateful. I also wanted to know from you, some people remove the RSX cover and replace the thermal paste and glue under it, is it worth doing this, and if so, in what situations should it be done? Thanks in advance for your answer and your work!
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, i do service this consoles on almost daily bases and , i would recommend you to go with 2MM or 2.5mm as it will squish to size when you screw out the plate and it will have a better heat transfer affect.

Is it better to have thermal pads that are a little larger or smaller? I'm working on a ps3 super slim for the first time and I don't know what size thermal pads I need. Thanks in advance
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: the size of the pad has to be the same size of the component or a bit bigger.
I'm a proud owner of a PS3 Slim (model CECH-2504A) that I purchased last year and I would like to change the thermal paste. So I would like to know: 01) 15:05 - Can we use a cotton swab instead of a towel to remove the old thermal paste? 02) In an older video (ruclips.net/video/u8H4kOuljGg/видео.html), you do not recommend to remove the thermal pads, saying that we don't need to replace them. However, at 16:21, you change the thermalpads. Why did you change the recommendation? And if we should change, how often should we? Should we change each time we open the PS3 to clean and change the thermal paste? 3) How do you stick the thermalpads in it's place? Is there some sort of glue? Or will it stay there just because of the pressure? Thank you for your video and help!
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: sure you can use a cotton or anything a like, as there are no capacitors on top of IHS (integrated heat spreader), clean both side the GPU/CPU and the heatsink. i say "not recommend" because its not important, but if you have the budget and the time to get one, sure thing replace them, you wont see any performance increase or anything, and those components will still be ok with old pads. in case if you want to replace them get a good quality pads : amzn.to/3LH8ZSY place a 2mm pads as it will squish nicely yo make perfect contact.
@@uFixTek Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if the thermal pads would reduce the temperatures further. I also saw some videos where apparently some PS3 slim models have no thermal pads. Can you confirm that?
in my 18years of servicing never see a single ps3 without pads, those videos they must have reopened the ps3 few times and have lost the pads. i do get ps3 without pads because clients open them and loose the pads. but all of ps3 slim none slim they have pads. the pads will lower the component temp but it will not make any difference in performance of long lasting. all you need to worry about is the paste on gpu and cpu.

Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: yes you could replace them if you wish but its not a must, and you be fine with old pads, but if you want to replace them get 2.5mm amzn.to/3ToFys8 and in that package its more than enough pads for few services. just cut pads and place them on to where ever you see a pad inside, simple as that, there are many reversions of the ps3 fats, so don't go around counting pads as you will be delaying your service, just the the pad link and cut it and replace them. make sure you use a good thermal paste for GPU CPU: this is one of the best paste out there: amzn.to/3EZHbbi
thank you for the feedback and your support by a sub :P regarding your question: .5mm can do the job my friend , it will work just press hard on heat-sink for 10sec. and you be fine.

Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P Regarding your situation: there is no reason for the delid on PS3s as we have done the test and with the best thermal paste the only temp drop was 2-3c MAX. its not worth the risk and showing people how to do it properly causes extra cost for proper delid equipment, and the risk for them to follow for that 2-3c drop, absolutely not worth it. if i had done it in the video 80%+ would be screaming that they broke the PS3 :( but i do appreciate your feedback and support to the channel my friend.

Hello, it is possible to remove the cover where there is no screw? I bought a PS3 Slim recently and that one is a bit dusty and i wanted to change it, i have substitute for it but doesn't want to come off.
@@uFixTek Yes the outer one, the little rubber covers that acts as a little stand for the console (the four ones at every angle). Thanks for the answer, i thought i would had to keep it.
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, absolutely not my friend you can remove the battery and replace it will not affect the data, only the date of the system will be reset and that will be corrected once connected to internet or manually. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
oh i have and so many times, i been doing this for over 14years, and my clients bring the consoles for service yearly and so we reopen and repaste all the time, and when we reopen them the paste always covers all the IHS. thank you for the feedback and your support :)
@@uFixTek Thanks for reply. Well that's fair enough! Be cool to see a post application disassembly photo of that technique for my own interest if you could as i've only ever put a big blob in the middle.
What was the battery size again for the cmos/clock battery? I'd rather have the number as you said it quite fast. I'm gonna fix up a friend's ps3 slim and I need the right battery.
Thanks ✌ for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P Regarding your request: this are the batteries for the laptops and Ps3 ps4 and pc motherboard. amzn.to/3BioKtm
@@uFixTek just another question, I'm not gonna fix up my friends console just yet but what if my friend's console model is built where the battery is underneath the silver plate? Is it just the regular procedure of removing the plate off and accessing the battery? Because I don't have thermal paste and I'm kinda skeptical of putting it all back together after removing the plate without new thermal paste.
the battery is always exposed and no need to remove the brackets for the heat-sink. BUT if you ever remove the heatsink you will have to replace the paste.
@@uFixTek I remember seeing another video of yours with the cmos battery being covered by the plate. I'm having my friend give his model number so I can identify which varient of the model I have.
I have a ps3 that I opened but turns hotter than the old one , I placed everything correct all screws put paste noctua nh1 but what suggestions can u say
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P regarding your question: DID you clean the fan vents and everything. also if heat is coming out its perfectly fine, the thermal paste is not going to cool the air, its transferring the heat to heatsink and if the heatsink is dissipating the air out its perfectly fine.
I found out my ps3 is good tmeo at 40 minutes below but as soon as it gets longer my temperature always rises whatever game is it, Once it's coldboot it's good , I'm guessing it's a bard hdd that makes my temperature delay? I'm having false reading? It's pain
About these thermal pads 14:47 what kind of thermal pad should I use? I have a 1 mm thermal pad with the Thermal conductivity of 1,2 w ~ 2,0w. Will it do the job or is it risky?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: use a hair dryer and heatup a lot the heatsink and the board, and it will release the cpu
Hey so that stripped screw I was talking about I managed to remove by knocking it round with force with a sharpened screwdriver, after replacing the thermal paste (MX-4) the temps actually got higher, wondering if this is normal as I was tilt mx-4 doesn’t take any time to cure and even then the temps I was getting before where hot and there was no paste left on the chips when I opened up the console so I’m a little confused right now
awesome that you got it removed 🍻 oki the issue that you facing, it is very common , and we do get this issue a lot in the store, not all heatsinks are evenly flat or balanced. in you case i would highly recommend to use a High-Density (thick) thermal paste, like Arctic Silver 5 amzn.to/3MmQDsQ also i would highly recommend you to bend back the CPU clamp to 60 degree, so it would generate higher pull.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: Yes it will work without the dvd unit
hi and thank you for the feedback and your support and regarding of doing a IHS removal, i dont do it in my videos because of Two major factors: #1. most of people that will try it they will damage the CPU or GPU by trying! #2. based on many many test that we have done, the results are as following: -with IHS paste replace you will get only 3c the most temp drop its not worth the hassle to do try to remove the IHS just for 3c temp drop.
@@uFixTek ok, but the thermal paste under the ihs might get hard and this damages the cpu/gpu. you cant stop that with thermal paste on top of the ihs. the temp drop on these ps3's is more than 3c. but i get what you are saying, the process is dangerous. luckily there are a few instructionvideos on youtube for that. i even consider doing it with a ps3 at 67 c in smb idling.
the paste under the IHS its a different type of paste its not a regular paste it has a life span of 8years minimum, i would like you to do the following: just repaste the top portion and test and check the temps, then change the ihs and test and you will see what im trying to say.
@@uFixTek That is exactly the process i am in the middle of. Already changed the paste on top of the ihs, but the ps3 still sounded like a turbine for a short time in a game. Then i watched a few more videos and many are saying the paste under the ihs is not really good. The temp of my ps3 idling in xmb is 67c. I will tell you how it changed after i get my heating pistol and try it.
I just tested with x method on ps3 phat and is more quiet the pea method is cool very good but the fan is so loud so i perfer the x method on ps3 phat (fat) 80 GB.
Thanks ✌ for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P Regarding your question: the x method its a nice valid method and if the results were good to you keep at it my friend thank you for the feed back :) if you have any questions or request feel free to ask me.
I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous statement. I made a mistake regarding the .3mm measurement. What I actually meant to say was that 3mm pads would be suitable for the task at hand. Either a 2mm or 3mm pad would work perfectly fine, as the pad will be compressed to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, I recommend using a 2mm pad for optimal results. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Don't intend to remove the IHS of the GPU and CPU. The compound they have underneath is not regular paste; it is a special adhesive thermal glue. If you try to remove the IHS, you will have a high chance of damaging the GPU unless you have experience doing it. Just repaste normally, and you'll be more than fine.
@@uFixTek hi, it works if fine starts up fine but after a while it freezes then I try turn it off and on again and it doesn't register on the TV and the HDMI plodded into the ps3 is really hot
its not your HDMI connector its your CPU that needs to get repaste and or an re-flow. BUT before anything use a different hdmi cable and see if the result are the same then you will mostly will need a re-flow
@@uFixTek i am getting a CV cable for it too see if its that I have just got it JB and repasted I hope its not that I will let you know how I get on with the CV aswell Thanks for helping me 🙏
the motherboard screws are really stuck hard for me, i was only able to remove one by luck. Its a used one that has been in a hot place for a long time.

This video is fantastic because you can actually see where the little thermal pads (the little squishy ones) go, in 4k. Everybody else's video from a decade ago was too blurry to see how the little thermal pads were. Helped out my playstation for sure when the pads fell off and I forgot where they went and was having freezing and red beeps.

Update: From my first comment your previous video, I must mention that spot where thermal paste is (next where the GPU is not on the motherboard) there is no area or sign of thermal pads but three spaces or gaps right above the fan assembly comparing to this model. The chip that you pointed out discoloring in comparison to my mine looks a bit small in size and in great shape also no place or sign of thermal pads.
The design his demonstrating looks like a 20 series
Mines 25 a bit different on disc drive ports u can see
And the 30 where the fan is under the board model u can remove unless u remove the mother board first

no IT should NOT sound like a jet engine! i need to know what brand model of thermal paste you used? and did you place the bracket of the CPU GPU all the way down screwed?
You can adjust the video speed lol

Thank you, this was a great and very detailed video! I have a question for you if you don’t mind. When I had initially done this job, I used 1.5mm thermal pads (particularly soft). My model number is CECH-2001B, but it looked exactly like yours. Is the thickness for thermal pads I used an issue?

Hello there. Really nice video here. My PS3 is overheating and I want to attempt re-applying new thermal paste. I would like to ask a couple of questions though - _Once I disconnect the hard drive or any of these components, will all my save game data be erased?_ Please forgive my ignorance, I have never had to do this before. Also, how much thermal paste do you suggest I buy? 2 grams? 4 grams? More?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: #1. disconnecting you hard drives it won't erase or do anything to your files or games. and i always recommend to get the 20Grams it will last you long time and you can use it on laptops and much more. but if you want to live on the edge go for 5 grams over:
i will recommend you this: amzn.to/3xbSy8E
or amzn.to/3rQEYX5
@@uFixTek Thank you for your help! I opened up my PS3 and cleaned out the dust from the fan and other places. When I buy thermal paste, I will then try and tackle the re-applying of the paste. For now, the cleaning *_REALLY_* helped out.
Before I cleaned it, my PS3 would get super hot after just 10 minutes and the fan would run very fast and loud. I took it apaart following your video, took it outside and with an electric air pump, I blew all the dust out from the fan, heat sink, power supply and as much as I could from the rest of the console.
Now my PS3 runs super quiet! I couldn't even tell it was on! I wound up playing it for a few hours and it was still silent. Just for safety purposes, I put a small fan on the side to blow cool air through the side ducts. I will buy the thermal paste and 99% alcohol. Again, thank you for your video and your advice. I subbed and gave a like.
AWESOME! , i'm glad that you got it serviced :P, if its running quietly, then no need to repaste, if you see the fan get loud even after cleaning the dust then yes "its time to repaste".
if you ever need any help or request let me know and i will try my best to help out. i appreciate all your support :) you can use my amazon general link to do your daily purchases and i get few change back :)

If you disconnect the fan from the assembly it is in, you don't have to unplug it from the motherboard. Keep the fan close to the board and tape it to the metal to keep it from getting crimped/cut. I just though of that and will be doing that on mine! It has plenty of wire to extend from it.
disconnecting the fan its just very simple pull out, i don't see why one don't want to unplug it :/
I appreciate the help, i have a question though. Those little peices of thermal pad. Were the all the same thickness? And can i use any thermal pad? I had one peice fall off i want to order some i just want to make sure its the right size.

Regarding your question: use this pads 1.5mm you get better results than normal 1mm amzn.to/3BH5VQG
@@uFixTek thank you, so all of them can be replaced with a 1.5? I only ask because i thought in your video you mention .3 mm thick. I think at 14:53. I just want to be certain.
@@travispeterson3924 the thing is that.3mm will do the job right, but the 1.5 does a better job based on out thermal component testing as the reason is that there is enough pressure to squeeze the pads down and then because it was 1.5 and squeezed down by pressure it does way better job. But the same case doesn’t apply on laptops, only here because of few factors. Therefore i would recommend 1.5 but anything from .3 up to there will be good.
Nice video. Everything is nicely shown, and i've been able to get rid of dust and other unholy things lurking in my PS3, as well as replacing the thermal paste.
Though the fan is now less furious during playtime, it still roars a little (maybe Dynasty Warriors 8 is THAT powerful.....), and i still have doubt about whether my thermal paste is doing its proper job or not (I used NT-H1 from Noctua).
Anyway, i got to see the insides of my old PS3. For that alone, i guess it was worth the click and repair attempt.

Great video. But I have a question about thermal pads. In the video you mentioned 0.3-0.4mm thermal pads, if I heard correctly. Then you wrote in the description “Best Thermal Pads 2.5mm”, and the link inserted next to this phrase leads to thermal pads with 1.0mm thermal pads. To be honest, I am mistaken about this, for the same reason, please tell me the exact thickness of the thermal pad, I will be very grateful. I also wanted to know from you, some people remove the RSX cover and replace the thermal paste and glue under it, is it worth doing this, and if so, in what situations should it be done?

Regarding your question, i do service this consoles on almost daily bases and , i would recommend you to go with 2MM or 2.5mm as it will squish to size when you screw out the plate and it will have a better heat transfer affect.

regarding your question: DON't RISKT and waist your time to delid The GPU and CPU, the paste drying its fine, because its not a regular paste its an adhesive paste it supposed to dry. also if you even delid it and repaste you will drop temps by as far as 3-4 at most and trust me that 4c extra is not worth the risk and you won't get performance.
@@uFixTek but how doo i find people delid ps3 fats and theirs temp drop from 75-80c to 50-65c and are super quit and doesnt overheat, before deliding it was overheating and too loud

Is it better to have thermal pads that are a little larger or smaller? I'm working on a ps3 super slim for the first time and I don't know what size thermal pads I need. Thanks in advance
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: the size of the pad has to be the same size of the component or a bit bigger.
I'm a proud owner of a PS3 Slim (model CECH-2504A) that I purchased last year and I would like to change the thermal paste. So I would like to know:
01) 15:05 - Can we use a cotton swab instead of a towel to remove the old thermal paste?
02) In an older video (ruclips.net/video/u8H4kOuljGg/видео.html), you do not recommend to remove the thermal pads, saying that we don't need to replace them. However, at 16:21, you change the thermalpads. Why did you change the recommendation? And if we should change, how often should we? Should we change each time we open the PS3 to clean and change the thermal paste?
3) How do you stick the thermalpads in it's place? Is there some sort of glue? Or will it stay there just because of the pressure?
Thank you for your video and help!
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: sure you can use a cotton or anything a like, as there are no capacitors on top of IHS (integrated heat spreader), clean both side the GPU/CPU and the heatsink.
i say "not recommend" because its not important, but if you have the budget and the time to get one, sure thing replace them, you wont see any performance increase or anything, and those components will still be ok with old pads.
in case if you want to replace them get a good quality pads :
amzn.to/3LH8ZSY
place a 2mm pads as it will squish nicely yo make perfect contact.
@@uFixTek Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if the thermal pads would reduce the temperatures further.
I also saw some videos where apparently some PS3 slim models have no thermal pads. Can you confirm that?
in my 18years of servicing never see a single ps3 without pads, those videos they must have reopened the ps3 few times and have lost the pads. i do get ps3 without pads because clients open them and loose the pads. but all of ps3 slim none slim they have pads. the pads will lower the component temp but it will not make any difference in performance of long lasting. all you need to worry about is the paste on gpu and cpu.

Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
Regarding your situation: there is no reason for the delid on PS3s as we have done the test and with the best thermal paste the only temp drop was 2-3c MAX. its not worth the risk and showing people how to do it properly causes extra cost for proper delid equipment, and the risk for them to follow for that 2-3c drop, absolutely not worth it. if i had done it in the video 80%+ would be screaming that they broke the PS3 :(

the battery is always exposed and no need to remove the brackets for the heat-sink. BUT if you ever remove the heatsink you will have to replace the paste.

ps3 ? let me check
I have a ps3 that I opened but turns hotter than the old one , I placed everything correct all screws put paste noctua nh1 but what suggestions can u say
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
regarding your question:
DID you clean the fan vents and everything. also if heat is coming out its perfectly fine, the thermal paste is not going to cool the air, its transferring the heat to heatsink and if the heatsink is dissipating the air out its perfectly fine.
Yes I did clean it, my guess is that it's giving Me false reading , I have a broken hdd , it takes too long to access files
I found out my ps3 is good tmeo at 40 minutes below but as soon as it gets longer my temperature always rises whatever game is it,
Once it's coldboot it's good ,
I'm guessing it's a bard hdd that makes my temperature delay? I'm having false reading? It's pain
yes if your hdd is failing you will get false information , because of bad sectors. replace the hdd
About these thermal pads 14:47 what kind of thermal pad should I use? I have a 1 mm thermal pad with the Thermal conductivity of 1,2 w ~ 2,0w. Will it do the job or is it risky?
you can use that and it will work just fine, thats perfect for those components. thank you for the support to the channel.
@@uFixTek Do you think I should use a Thermal Pad with a thermal conductivity of 3w/mk instead? Or use one 1.5mm thick instead of 1mm?

regarding your question: use a hair dryer and heatup a lot the heatsink and the board, and it will release the cpu
Hey so that stripped screw I was talking about I managed to remove by knocking it round with force with a sharpened screwdriver, after replacing the thermal paste (MX-4) the temps actually got higher, wondering if this is normal as I was tilt mx-4 doesn’t take any time to cure and even then the temps I was getting before where hot and there was no paste left on the chips when I opened up the console so I’m a little confused right now
awesome that you got it removed 🍻
oki the issue that you facing, it is very common , and we do get this issue a lot in the store, not all heatsinks are evenly flat or balanced. in you case i would highly recommend to use a High-Density (thick) thermal paste, like Arctic Silver 5 amzn.to/3MmQDsQ
also i would highly recommend you to bend back the CPU clamp to 60 degree, so it would generate higher pull.

Nice video. But it might be important to open the ihs plate of the cpu and gpu too to change the thermal paste beneath it.
hi and thank you for the feedback and your support and regarding of doing a IHS removal, i dont do it in my videos because of Two major factors:
#1. most of people that will try it they will damage the CPU or GPU by trying!
#2. based on many many test that we have done, the results are as following:
-with IHS paste replace you will get only 3c the most temp drop
its not worth the hassle to do try to remove the IHS just for 3c temp drop.
@@uFixTek ok, but the thermal paste under the ihs might get hard and this damages the cpu/gpu. you cant stop that with thermal paste on top of the ihs. the temp drop on these ps3's is more than 3c. but i get what you are saying, the process is dangerous. luckily there are a few instructionvideos on youtube for that. i even consider doing it with a ps3 at 67 c in smb idling.
the paste under the IHS its a different type of paste its not a regular paste it has a life span of 8years minimum, i would like you to do the following:
just repaste the top portion and test and check the temps, then change the ihs and test and you will see what im trying to say.
@@uFixTek That is exactly the process i am in the middle of. Already changed the paste on top of the ihs, but the ps3 still sounded like a turbine for a short time in a game. Then i watched a few more videos and many are saying the paste under the ihs is not really good. The temp of my ps3 idling in xmb is 67c. I will tell you how it changed after i get my heating pistol and try it.

What do you mean .3 mm thermal pads? The smallest I can find is .5 mm
I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous statement. I made a mistake regarding the .3mm measurement. What I actually meant to say was that 3mm pads would be suitable for the task at hand. Either a 2mm or 3mm pad would work perfectly fine, as the pad will be compressed to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, I recommend using a 2mm pad for optimal results.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.

People are saying deliding the CPU and GPU is the right way to do it, what's under the lid? Is it just the same thermal paste?
Don't intend to remove the IHS of the GPU and CPU. The compound they have underneath is not regular paste; it is a special adhesive thermal glue. If you try to remove the IHS, you will have a high chance of damaging the GPU unless you have experience doing it. Just repaste normally, and you'll be more than fine.
Been looking for a video with a slim sp i can try replacing my HDMI port as I think that's whats wrong with my ps3
hi, regarding your problem, can you explain what happens when you press the power ON,? sound beeps etc....
@@uFixTek hi, it works if fine starts up fine but after a while it freezes then I try turn it off and on again and it doesn't register on the TV and the HDMI plodded into the ps3 is really hot
its not your HDMI connector its your CPU that needs to get repaste and or an re-flow. BUT
before anything use a different hdmi cable and see if the result are the same then you will mostly will need a re-flow
@@uFixTek i am getting a CV cable for it too see if its that I have just got it JB and repasted I hope its not that I will let you know how I get on with the CV aswell Thanks for helping me 🙏
@@uFixTek I got my thermal paste upgraded too graphite pads too if thats anything
the motherboard screws are really stuck hard for me, i was only able to remove one by luck. Its a used one that has been in a hot place for a long time.
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, get the right screw driver and press down on the screw hard and do a very slight rotation, pressure is the key.
