My ps3 is very loud!

It sounds like a hair dryer. The fan kicks in about 5 minutes of playing a game. I tryed alot of diffrent games and it happens in every game.It is in well ventillated spot it has enough space around it and i also vaccum clean it every 2 weeks. It is 2 years old 40gb model. What could be the cause of this it wasn't happening to me in the last summer and it was very hot to. But it happend before to but only in Uncharted 2 and God Of War 3. But now it just happens in every game and it won't stop even after 3 hours of playing a game.

The only thing I can think of is the summer weather, thats usually the case for me. However since you've debunked that theory, its quite a mystery.

I guess that applying the new thermal paste on GPU and CPU would solve the problem. Since my ps3 is 2 years old and it probaly looks like that pictureshttp://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1423713so it needs a new thermal paste as sportwarrior said.
