[QUOTE="qzack, post: 10376594, member: 529504"] I just did this to mine as a weekend project. I still need to replace the Pram Battery as now every time I turn on the PS3 my clock is not set. So a little history, My PS3 is a "Launch" unit, has the four USB ports and card readers. I've never touched the paste until this past weekend. When I disassembled the console the paste was dried and cracked, I should've took pics but it cleaned up easily. I can only hope that I've extended the life and longevity of my console seeing as it's a YLOD problem child. After I got done I played "Haze" & continuing my playthrough of MSG4 since I've never beaten the game. I played both games for several hours and had no issues. The console runs the same. No excessive fan noise. I have not monitored temp differences. I always play it in an open area so it can breath. I always cover it when I'm done to keep it free of dust. It's in a non-smoking/pet free home and I live alone. Probably like everything else. I like to think if it isn't broke don't fix it but like I said in my reply above I can only hope that I did some good by replacing it. It is a job and if you have the same model as myself you pretty much have to take the whole console apart to get it done. It took me a couple of hours to do. I-fix-it has a tutorial to follow for disassembly. There are some other upgrades you can do to extend life. So I've read. You can get the 19-blade fan and replace the original PSU with a more energy effective model. I did replace my PSU but the fan is the original. [/QUOTE]
