Since I have finally bought a PS3. I have a 80GB BC fat. I am throwing this out there. Have you ever just put your hand around the system? It is rather WARM! When I got mine, I played it for 2 hours straight. I could hardly touch the bottom! Then I found a NYKO fan to put on back. I think I could heat up a small room with it. The fan HELPED a lot! Now back to this post!!! I may tear mine down this weekend and REPLACE the thermal paste in mine. The stuff you have in pic looks a little weak or THIN? I think the KEY to RLOD or YLOD is HEAT! it's the COLD/HOT cycles that damage the soldering on the CPU/GPU overtime it becomes lose and you get YLOD if it's overheating you will get the RLOD or flashing RLOD

Twisted Metal 2 (installed on hard drive) will still get it to spin up to that level, but it now takes a fair bit more playing. And even after exiting, it will quiet down faster. Haven't gone through all of my games yet, but most of them seem to stay in that mid-range level for the fan, where the most i hear is the sound of the air moving through it, and more of the games are now in the "can't hear the console" level anymore. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes after this week. -- Front Line Force Fortress Forever
