Bought a 2001A slim PS3 on eBay. Didn't use it much before busting it open, downgrading, cleaning and applying new thermal paste (Artic Silver 5, applied a small pea then let the heat sink spread naturally).
While I wasn't able to measure temps before (no cfw), I think I notice the fan being quieter. With that said, Rebug Toolbox usually displays temps from low to mid 60s after modest gaming.
Does this sound normal?
Was there a noticeable improvement in temps after thermal paste change for you guys (Especially when the paste was 8 years old)? Also, what paste did you use and what method did you use to apply it?
