Ps3 loud fan

Ever since ive got my ps3 ive noticed that the fan goes 2 the third level after only about 20 minutes of playing and if i leave it at the xmb for it minute it doesnt go down. It is pretty loud at everybody says theres is silent. Does anyone else have this problem?Is it a problem at all?

try a foot on each side

i think i have somewhere around a foot, i notice it gets really hot at the top while its standing vertically, and there is a lot of hot air coming out. Ill try to move its somewhere with lots of spaceorphansoup

That would work, just don't cram it into a small space.

sounds like the faulty PAL Ps3 fan trouble.

do u have an american ps3? Also do you think sony would exchange it because i didnt buy and extended warranty with eb games.

I have a window open pretty much all the time though, so maybe the steady traffic noise outside drowns out the fan...but I definitely hear when my PC fans kick into high gear, so I dunno.

Strange, If I play I dont hear anything, only if I run foldingSvV_Ying

should i call sony up and ask for an exchange?

The first time I heard it really kick in was the other night whilst playing a PS2 game. See what happens when there is no emotion engine chip inside.

Anyway this was after a few hours playing in a hot room.

did it step down after or stay high?

Folding takes up all available system resources, so it will make your PS3 run hotter, thus the fan will turn up.

I'm pretty sure it stepped down, although it was only when I was taking the disc out that I really noticed it being louder. I was switching it off at the time.

I have that problem too. I think it's because my room is hot.
