Hey guys!
After a long stay at the 3DS community, I have decided to come back to the PS3 (Mainly because of Persona 5
)!
I purchased a (heavily) used fat PS3 (the second line, CECHK01), and I have some questions:
After a long stay at the 3DS community, I have decided to come back to the PS3 (Mainly because of Persona 5
)!I purchased a (heavily) used fat PS3 (the second line, CECHK01), and I have some questions:
- Which is the best thermal paste to get? I've heard conflicting reports about Arctic Silver 5 and Arctic MX-4. A friend who works at a repair shop also has one he recommends but is neither of those, seems to be similar to Arctic Silver, is it a good idea to try it out?
- Is it mandatory to switch the fan if it isn't a 19-blade?
- The console doesn't respond to the power/eject buttons (I've been keeping it disassembled and just press the contacts directly, the metal tabs for the buttons seem to have rusted quite a bit), what can I do to fix it?
- Some of the metal parts of the inside casing seem to have rusted a bit, would that affect my console in the long run(none of the important components have any rust on them, thankfully)?
- A few people have suggested to change the power supply, is that mandatory for this console or can I keep using the one that came installed?
- Let's say I want to downgrade in the future, how hard is it to set up the e3 flasher? I've heard horror stories about the NOR clip being total trash.
