Is it loud like this?

If it is, there definitely is a problem. Probably too much dust.

Altimus, whats the best way to clean out that dust with?

Altimus · 04-27-2009, 04:02 PM

Take it apart.

I've done it before on my friend's PS3 and it is pretty amazing how much dust build up there is.

It's not that hard but if you are too technical or have a warranty, I wouldn't recommend it.

i noticed in the manual it said you could use a low powered vacuum cleaner to clean the dust out

Altimus · 04-27-2009, 06:34 PM

You could but I'd say that would only get around 15% of the dust. (If dust is even the problem)

The bad part is that when the dust moves around it can get stuck somewhere else and cause issues. If you don't want to take it apart, I'd recommend having Sony take a look at it.

My fan is real loud too, and my Ps3 is dust free, I noticed the loudness only after the 2.70 update and only when I'm playing the show.

Once you open up the PS3, can I use canned air to clean it out?
