CECHL03 80 GB non backwards compatible

Coldboot:
CPU 48C
GPU 42C

20 minutes of altering dead nation and ninja gaiden sigma

CPU pending between 79-80C
GPU steady 54C

Been through hell and back replacing the original compound on this one, had to go under the IHS of the GPU in an attempt to stop a crazy fan from going on high in 5 minutes. So right now I have arctic silver 5 under the IHS and then some HY-650 Gold Thermal Compound on top of the iIHS, got it from a ylod kit cause I ran out of AS5.

Added washers to apply pressure on the GPU yesterday since I suffered from greeen light of death (ps3 is on but no audio/video and controllers won't sync).
I'm thinking of removing the IHS on the CPU too and change paste there too since it seemed to have done the trick on the GPU but I'm not comfortable removing it but might have to since it's on RED 80C.
Might start with just adding washers though before attempting to remove the IHS on that one.
Sorry for the long rant.
