Just to clarify for those of you who don't understand what I mean/wanna jump on me for saying anything bad about the ps3. Generally if you alter the rpms, overheating occurs. Therefore increasing odds of getting YLOD.

Replacing your ps3 hd not only increases performance, but increases yellow light appearance rate For those of you rating down just because I'm saying anything bad about the PS3, read the message I posted above. This is fact people, the explanation is provided.
