Artic silver MX-4 ?... good to know this works, there is a gap under the HIS (1 milimeter or so)... this compound consistency is good to fill it ?

In my CECHG the thermal paste OVER the HIS was completly damaged (well my english is not good enought to use technicall words)... the compound was separated the ceramic particles from the water
In few words... it was like powder... with no humidity. The rests of humidity compound was in the border... out of the surface
Is because the thermal paste sony uses is based on ceramic, i dont know in other models

the slim is the most efficient ps3 version, it just lacks features. my phat ps3 got ylod before cfw came out, so I paid the $150 for Sony to fix it. i expect it to fail again one day tbh, but i'll fix it myself if it does. even in that regard, i don't play it much...i'll probably play it more when we get some newer emulators like n64 and/or sega saturn, then ontop of cobra and the rest of the homebrew additions...the old ps3 will be the ultimate console.

my checha00 have a build in 19 blade fan since coming from factory.

it is also modified with new thermal grease an extra cool pads between the rsx clamp.

so my 750,- € baby (had to pay tax and so on) bought at nov 2006 in japan will have a long life.

You guys have a loud fan noise, because your thermal compound is 6 years old. Like I said earlier in this thread, my CECHA01 is almost as quiet as my slim.

The launch models PS3s are superior machines. There is a reason Sony was taking a loss on each console sold.

Loss per Unit Is 'Remarkable' The combined materials and manufacturing costs for each device come to about $806 for the model with a 20GB hard drive, excluding the cost of the controller, cables, and packaging, iSuppli said. With a suggested retail price of $499, that would mean Sony is taking a loss of about $307 on each console it sells. The differential for the 60GB model is less, with the cost exceeding the price tag by $241.

You can get a slim now for $249. And believe me, Sony is not taking a loss on slims.

There is many different fourms of a console. A console doesn't need to play games it just needs to be a electronic device that you control. So yeah a pc actually is a console. It may not be a video game console but its a console. There is a reason why they call it a VIDEO GAME console.

I'm not going to argue
