I'd like to overclock my PS3 fan as I just repaired it from YLOD, but it's getting super hot again, and I think it's gonna YLOD again. I saw this here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-...ur_fan-844137/
but I think it's too advanced for me, or at least i don't understand it and a tutorial would help.

Although it'd be much easier if I could softmod the ps3 to overclock the fan, is there anyway to do this?

There is no method to softmod the PS3 fan yet (that I know of).

Its going to YLOD again regardless of what you do, I recommend selling it to Gamestop or something while it is still alive.

I wanna overclock my fan speed too I got a ps3 fat its not Ylod yet but I fear it will without a fan speed overclock Im doomed. ><

Yeah like Pirate said, trade that thing in. Once you get YLOD, youll always have it.. like AIDs

Gamestop for some reason wont take ps3s if the warranty sticker isnt in place even if its out of warranty.

you can try reflowing the board of the ps3 using Gilky's guide but like Pirate said, once it YLODs it might redo it unless you reapply something that Gilky is applying. Watch the youtube video to see.

Just get some liquid flux off of ebay.

A $15 heat gun from home depo.

Some thermal paste, i recommend Arctic Silver.

And follow Gilky's guide.

I do this in my repair shop and offer a 30 warranty on ps3s, ive done 100s and have never had anyone bring one back. It always helps to tell the coustomer how to "not" overheat there console. ^.^

Btw, you can get warranty stickers for your own use from ebay also. (this is what i use)

If you want to take one to gamestop, you can always buy a non voided ps3 warranty sticker.

I heard that Sony will take a ps3 with yellow light, or blinking red light and give you a new slim for a $150 "repair" fee.

Just do that. Brand new unit.
They probably aren't going into the warehouse and opening up boxes to do firmware updates. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Well I fixed it and now have a new problem:
