But since doing the fan test (i have the 40g) it has made it stopped the fan kicking into ful speed and it runs quiet. ive monitered the added cooling and it helps and improves it :) i have my ps3 next to the tv ontop of a unit standing upright and its fully open and not inside anyhting Thanks, i will always leave a window open if the PS3 is running gor long periods of time and it recently was putting the fan on full speed.

Processor load will play a very important part in whether the fan will kick in, and to what extent. On the subject of an added cooling fan, just be careful Jason- I've heard conflicting evidence of such additional cooling fans either working perfectly, or doing more harm than good. I'd just like to add (esp now that it is Summer at the time of writing this) that you need the room well-ventilated. If there's hot weather, I'd advise opening your windows if possible! I'd also recommend a perusal of my 'Comprehensive PS3 Fan Guide' on this blog (check the links at the bottom of the post). Hi Jason, thanks for your input!

All products and devices, be they; dishwashers, microwaves, TVs etc, a small percentage (generally very small) will suffer from manufacturing defects. The problem only starts to become serious if an abnormal amount of a certain product is found to be defective. I don't think this is the case here. The vast majority of PS3s are very quiet. Contrast this situation with what Xbox 360 users face: a system that is loud even when it is working 'fine', and an abnormally high (1 in every 3 systems were thought to be defective at the height of the problem) failure rate resulting in the dreaded 'red ring of death' and other exotic errors. I think PS3 users have got it pretty sweet. Have I missed anything? Does anyone else want to add something to the debate?
