The loud fan on the PS3 can be quite nerve. We have the solution that lets your PlayStation back purring like a kitten.

Loud PS3 fan because of poor air supply

A loud fan can have several reasons, but mostly it is just a bad supply of air. In the best case, you fix this Problem simply by putting the console is different.

The fan on the PS3 is mounted on the underside. When you lie down on the console, and then even in a tight shelf compartment, can lead to noisy fans.
The hot air can then peel off neatly, and is fed as a cooling air again - this is counter-productive. Also, dust accumulates so quickly.
If possible, you should place the console in an upright position in an open Area, where you will properly be able to breathe. The fan then shows the page, and is not hindered, so that the air can properly circulate.
You don't want to put the PS3 upright to save perhaps the drive you can build alternatively, there is also a small stand or holder, so that the console down for more space.
Four equal-sized beverage cans, which you can use as the legs are, for example. Generally speaking, your creativity is set no limits: you should only pay attention to the fan, not through the Support cover, and that the console is secure.

PS3 fan cleaning, without the console take apart

The change of position does not help, it will be dusty, the fan is probably already strong. That makes him less effective and louder. So it is time to clean it properly. For this you need to take the device but not necessarily apart.

The PlayStation 3 has an internal cleaning function, which not everyone knows. In order to let the fan for a short time at full strength bubbles, so as to remove light dust soiling. The process works for both the old "Fat"- as well as the newer "Slim"Version of PS3 and is only slightly different. And so it goes:

Remove the "Slim" in the power cord, or turn off the "Fat" on the back of the console.
You are now on the front of the console, the eject button is pressed.
Do not release the button and plug in the power cable again, or turn the console back on.
Press and hold the eject button until the fans start to fully untwist.
If the fans are ready, turn off the console and restart. You should now be dust-free.
If that's not enough, because the dust layer is too strong, you can try it also from the outside with a vacuum cleaner.

Many users report that they can clean up this for years, successfully to your fans. However, the risk is a bit broken, for example, if the airflow rotates the fan to the switched-off console is always. Officially, this method is not recommended.

The stopgap: PS3 screwing

If you feel up to it, on technical equipment around the screw, you can screw on your PlayStation 3 and you are so deep clean. If you have no experience with it, we as a matter of urgency, because when unscrewing the device, you lose your warranty claim.

If that does not bother you, you can open the console with a few screws. Normally, you need to start so that you remove the warranty sticker. Below you will find the first screw.
After the actual Opening of the Box, you need to work up to the motherboard and the fan. This means that you will have to carefully stake out the components such as the Blu-ray drive, and remove, as the fan sits at the bottom of the console.
Generally speaking, you can notice that the device is not generally dust - both on and off the fan.
To Clean use a soft brush or a cotton swab. Also, gently dust the eyes is possible. Do not use an electric or a wet cloth magnet!
