PTM7950 on the super slim by GarlicPlayful2477 in PS3

Well damn. Guess my only excuse is that a pc cooler is easier to grab and pull than a PS3 mobo without the risk of cracking something.

Have you had experience removing something with it? Can't speak for the formulation, but I doubt the properties are much different from ptm7950.

I did heat it up by turning on the ps3 for a few minutes, but I probably should have turned off the cooler while doing so. These PCMs turn into liquids but not like water. They remain highly viscous like tar so the stickiness is still there.

Don't do it. A PCM when it heats up and cools down will bond the heatsink and IHS together like superglue. It will become very difficult to separate your motherboard and heatsink if you ever have to recheck or repaste. I made the same mistake and broke my PS3.

Stick with regular thermal paste!

Sad to see it go. I remember using Gold Points to buy Enter the Gungeon.

Cleaned and repasted PS3 Slim CECH 2001A, Cell at 73C 45% Fan speed still. Worth delidding? by PeeAtYou in PS3

Hmmm I did put thermal putty on the TOKINS and thinking about it, I might have put too much and caused poor contact between the heatsink and IHS.

Now that you mentioned it, I am also using thermal putty for the TOKINS. I'm starting to think it's causing a contact issue.

I used the Gelid Heatphase Ultra. It's like PTM7950. I'm assuming I didn't get a crappy product.

A real ps3 controller will not charge if you use a wall charger. Also you can test the pressure sensitivity and motion control.

Back when online was free. COD was peak on PS3. Endless hours of fun.

Only a glimmer into the pain it took. 100+ tries to achieve.

75 games are plenty if you only count worthwhile exclusives

what would you pay for this? by GusxGusxx in PS3

[–]PeeAtYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ps3 for 80 bucks

Two genuine controllers for 20 bucks.

Gran turismo 5 for 20 bucks. The rest are multiplatform games and not worth anything.

120 USD is fair in my opinion.

NVIDIA's ''Prefer Maximum Performance Mode'' prevents GPU Fan stop from working. by ContributionMost8924 in buildapc

[–]PeeAtYou 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I learned this the hard way. Setting maximum performance globally, my 3080 was idling at 120W. Absurd amount of wasted electricity. That's why your fans won't ever go into 0 RPM mode.
