  Ah, well that's a shame, but it seemed a bit shifty anyway. Surely they can still do something like this where it doesn't affect the console in the long-run though, so the sooner the better.

  "Maybe like Seproth said it has something to do with risk, if Krunal's PS3 does break, 2 things will happen, it will prove that there is risk involved, and that the policeman will find tidus04 laying dead in the ground in a few days."
  
  Quoted from the other article, so it seems it really is harmful, oh well.

    Agreed, I'm glad that I just came back to work today and wont be with my PS3 till next Friday... though I would have killed Tidus if I had actually tried it and then read this

  This should seriously be common sense. The system isn't intended to be intentionally placed into overheat mode so you can clean it out.

  BULLLLSHIT
  
  That makes no sense. How could maxing out the speed of your fans possibly do any harm to your hardware? This is stupid. Don't buy this. There's just no *bleep*ing way.

    Normally I'd agree with you. Fan's are meant to spin so maxing them out shouldn't really be an issue.
    
    But, maxing out anything is never really a good idea, that coupled with the strange fact that Sony doesn't mention this ability makes me wonder. I wouldn't do it to my PS3 anyway...

      The only thing that could possibly happen would be your fan failing. There's no chance of your freaking hardware burning up. That's *bleep*ed. Your hardware would burn up overtime without the cooling but there's a small chance of your fans actually failing even so.

        Yes i mean at the end of the day the fans are meant to spin that fast, they are built within that capacity and they do spin that fast when the console gets hot enough. Yes it might not do them good in the long term but the guys that found this out aren't expecting people to do this every week or every month.

  And we trust the French because...?
  
  Haha, just kidding. I'm glad something like this has been added to warn the people that saw the other article and were going to try it. Yet again, we don't know who to believe.

  There seems to be a bit of a confusion. It is infact OK to do it with the 40GB AFAIK. This dangerous thing is with the 60GB. Read this

  <sub>Even if your right Star, doing it in general when Sony never officially stated this is stepping into a mine field. Something bad is going to happen.
  
  Regardless i wasn't going to do this anyway.</sub>

    That's for the better really. Like I said, it's not exactly the best to start forcing the fail-safes into action just to clean it out.
