My ps3 40 gb makes this loud noise sounds like the fan

Question

i played bad company for like the whole day ,then every 10 minutes after i turn my ps3 on it makes this loud fann sound??

Answer 1

Yeah mine does that too, its just over heating. just make sure its getting enough ventilation, and try not to use it so much.

Answer 2

It's not overheating, it's just getting warm. You do need 4 inches of ventilation on all sides, and don't keep your PS3 on carpet (sony site said so). If it was overheating, then a system message would alert you and the power light will flash red

Answer 3

It is probably the PS3's high-tech fan system, so they system stays cool.

Answer 4

the ps3 faning area is on the right side so make sure you lay it flat and that should take care of it
