My PS3 Temp creeps up slowly. What would be the issue. My radiator is probably the smallest in the market. 2x40mm rad. In reservoir Water pump 200lph. The water, it drops down the hole in the reservior and not a proper stream like when your taking a **** (men). I've tested the pump bare, in the bathroom sink and it flows the same. Using 10mm pipes. Now would you think the pump is doing ok and I don't need a larger pump but I need a bigger rad. To me it looks like I need a bigger rad. Also the temp is taken at the water coming out the water block. There is no kinks in the system. it takes about 20-25mins until the water temp reaches under high 40c and the PS3 would say its too hot and turn off. My loop goes like this. Pump reservoir> Radiator> Graphics> CPU> Reservoir.

The High temp warning comes in at 46.4c water temp.

Oh yeh If anyone is wondering why. It was to fix my YLOD. 40gb. Got this after many years. Did not want the new PS3 as I don't like the look of the new one.
