Really HOT PS3 question!

Literally!

Now that the summertime is almost upon us and the temperature is rising, has anyone else noticed a change in the fan speed on the PS3?

I was downloading Blast Factor last night and it was taking quite a while. The fan was running as normal. Around 9:45 at night, the temp in my apartment reached around 85 degrees and out of nowhere it seemed as if the fan kicked into overdrive! We're talking like 360 LOUD...

Anyone else have an experience like this? Are there multiple levels of output for the internal fan?

Thanks for any input!

????? Why would the PS3 over heat in summer...unless you play outside..

THE WII WOULD MELT  IN SUMMER not the ps3

It's summer time and you don't use your A/C?

My thermostat is 70 during the day and 60 during night time. 85 is flippin HOT for inside a house man. 

Around 9:45 at night, the temp in my apartment reached around 85 degrees and out of nowhere it seemed as if the fan kicked into overdrive! We're talking like 360 LOUD...

Well, do you prefer a loud console like a 360 or a dead console like an overheated 360?

Not at all! I have been playing WarHawk Beta since 3 days continously and I havent experienced this and even if it did I would like to be as loud as it can get to cool down itself rather than dying on me!

It happend to me while Hosting a 16 player Server on Warhawk and I was 
like WTF is that noise? Thought my PS3 was dying until i felt a lot of 
air coming out of my PS3. It slowly went away and went back to normal. 
lol first time I heard it, scared the s*** out of me.

My Tag is Cubez and I usually Host a Server called Cubez with 16 players on Badlands. It gets full fast though. 

Im a bit worried now, last year AUG/SEPT it hit 99/100f in my house 101/102f outside, yes i have no air conditioning, want to know why.

Because i live in the UK.

If it gets that bad this year, im going to have more than one oscillating fan out, im going to have one for my PS3 and one for me.
