I didn't know where to ask this and google didn't help much, so I thought I would ask you guys: What's the best thermal grease to use on the ps3??
Recently, about 3 weeks ago I took apart my ps3 so that I could apply better thermal compound on the RSX and C.B./E. and I did some research and I decided to try some articsilver 5, because it had high reviews.. So I went and got my articsilver 5 and I applied it to the gpu and cpu (rubbing off the old compound with alcohol from both the processors and the heat sync). When I applied it I wasted the entire bottle, because I thought why not?
I guess I wasn't thinking clearly, because when I put it back together, it over heated faster than it did before (when it had the old factory thermal paste)
So I think I messed up...
Oh and until now I've tooken apart my ps3 a couple of times and removed more thermal paste, but it still won't cool down like it did before...
Soo.. I was wondering what should i try next Any ideas, suggestions?? Or should I just stick with the old factory paste?
I got a PS3 CECHLO1
Thanks!!
P.S. I've found a good debate on thermal paste here--->>> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-187606.html
