PS3 Fan Noise

Folding is only CPU intensive while a game is CPU and GPU intensive together with the BD drive spinning can account for the extra heat produced.

I think the GPU alone can produce 80+W of heat.

Good point, it should cool down eventually though.

Except mine doesnt kick into level 3 while idling like the linked one does.
