I have a PS3 I've been pondering replacing the paste and fan in, but I was also curious about third party options for cooling if anyone has any experience. Last time I ran it, it got to 77 celcius and I immediately shut it off, haven't turned it back on since. It is a cechp01.

Good idea to change the thermal paste and give the internal a proper cleaning, at xmb I get around high 50 to low 60 and gaming I get around mid 70 , haven't hit 80 even with game like GTA V.
I just don't want it too burn up. Getting harder to find older console capable of real non han cfw

Then again I am using webman fan mod, I have it set to an auto speed of 45%
I'll have to look into that too actually. I redid the thermal paste with as5 last year, but was thinking maybe the fan went out .I'll see what the fan mod can get me.

Fan mod can reduce the temperature a bit for you just dont run like like 100% fan, you will have a fan that sound like a jet engine and blew out the fan so fast, ~40% is good for that.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
