ps3 heats up quickly

so very quickly then, whenever i play cod4 or uncharted 2 i notice the fan at the back of ps3 gets hotter and the ps3 gets really loud within 5 minutes of gameplay. any tips or advice on how to stop this. if it helps i have an 80gb ps3.

If you play a game with high requirements your console will heat up faster. Also, where do you live? If it's summer then this is kinda normal to happen, since all electronics overheat more in the summer. It's REALLY hot where I live this season, so I'm used to it :P

england and i do admit it is quite hot thats probably the reason thanks anyway!

i have a 80 gb model purchased a few months before asssins creed

should I get a cooler for it? I hardly play more then 3 hours, and playing more then 2 hours is rare for me :\

Vacuum your system and make sure no dust is blocking air. Also air conditioner is a good thing during the summer.Velocity
