PS3 Fan test !

Is it good for the system or bad ? There isnt really any proper proof that it destroys your console...etc..etc..

But talking logically what do you think ? it helped me alot...made my system less noisy and threw out alot of dust.

For those of you who do not know what i am talking about read below :

*WARNING TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DAMGED SYSTEM.HAVE SOME BALLS :D AND TAKE THE RISK LIKE I DID.

To Test the fan.Switch of the main siwtch of PS3(The one at the back).Hold down the Eject button and while holding it down turn on the PS3 from the main switch.The fan will go crazy blowing out alot of dust from the vent.And i think after 15-20 seconds the fan will turn off.Switch of the PS3.Turn it back on and enjoy because all the dust has has gone :) Watch this demonstration

its only safe for different models. like the 40 gb's have a fan test. But for 60s and 20s..you just heat it up and the ps3 thinks its overheating. My fans are really starting to get loud...idk if dust is the problem. rsoxguy12

try using a blower or a vacuum cleaner...

I have heard of damaged systems because of numerious tests.

Overheating is normally the cause of breakdown following countless tests.

NO NO NO NO. Are you stupid?? The fan test only damages your ps3 and it damages your fan. Sony confirmed it when I called them about it and they said it causes the fan to burn out. Do not do the fan test unless you want to damage your ps3 on purpose.AgentZero225

BINGO.

Secondly, it only works on the 40GB model.

Thirdly, people who figured out how to do it on the 60GB model are insane. They think it's a "fan test" but really they are overheating the PS3 causing the fan to spin at full speed.

It's harmful for the system, period.
