Over Heating help
« on: August 15, 2009, 01:26:40 PM »
I recently got the ylod so i went and opened it up and re flowed the mobo. When i turn the main power switch on i can hear a mosquito noise coming from the psu but you have to be like 3 inches away to hear it. so should i buy a new psu is that my problem?

I think you just screwed up reflowing the mobo. Why did you reflow the whole mobo?

I just fixed my ps3's ylod and it works great except after about 20 minutes of use the psu gets really really hot and it make a mosquito noise that is very quiet. So do i need a new psu? or is that normal?

You might have fried the mobo with static :( you should always ground yourself before opening electronics.

like i said reflowing is it temp fix your ps3 needs a new mobo of the same model.... it will keep shutting off with prolonged use.  get a cooling fan the attachs to your ps3 one that has its own power supply and keep your ps3 near a AC or a widow for even better cooling. Also dont play your ps3 for to long it wil get the YLOD again and again

wow ive never heard of a overheating PS3 PSU
you might try to replace the PSU but
I would just try replacing the PSU or wait until the Slim is fully out and see weather it has overheating issues.

yea me either i think i just have a bad psu but ive put the ps3 back together and it stays pretty cool the air it blows out is really cool and i have no more problems.I dont do anything special either no ac or fan. But still i think i should be carful with the psu so im going to try replacing it.

It could very well be a bad psu. But a short of some sort on your mobo or a static discharge from when you were working on it could have occured aswell. A reason why a psu would get so hot is if one of the components (probably your mobo) is trying to draw too much amperage from it. My psu doesn't get hot at all and it shouldn't. Check make sure non of your components are shorting and even check the ammount of current your mobo is drawing from your psu.
