    Posted: 23 Feb 2011 at 10:06am
Here is my modified PS3 to run cooler temperatures after its YLOD for the 4th time. Im currently on my 5th reflow and decided to change something this time around. The PS3 does in fact run alot cooler this way, the power supply barely gets warm and the back of the PS3 barely puts out any heat compared to before.

Here is a short video:

I can also repair most YLODs if its the CPU or GPU problem on the motherboard. The other known case of YLOD is a bad power supply that is not fixable with a reflow. A reflow is a temporary fix long enough to get a few weeks to months use out of it. Usually pepople just want to get there saved data off or game out of their console. If you are needing help or have a YLOD id be glad to help you out.

Thanks, Inc...

LOL, nice vid. You should paint the styrofoam black since dark colors absorb heat. you might get it even cooler.

yeah, i should edit mine too. actually dark colors absorb light, not heat. so it probably won't make a difference.

Bain, lol i know everyones coming up with these special YLOD kits to fix em, why not do this, lol

Sephiroth, all possibilities have been considered, it crossed my mind once or twice and if i had one i definately would be trying it, lmao. Everyone thought i was crazy when i said i use icepacks, lol but it makes logic sense to put it right below the induction fan to suck all that cold air in.

I dont understand your question??? Did u watch my video? All my plastic is off besides the back strip which wont change anything. Mine is stripped down as little as it can go. Maybe im not understanding what your wanting to do. If you need help with something id be glad to help you.
