No both of my elite's are falcon motherboard. I have 3 Jasper un=

the Jasper will fail as well. 1 thing is for certain. The Jasper=

is 3x quieter than my Elite units with the falcon.

For sure. My Jasper unit is ultra quiet when running games off th=

actually not as bad as my PS3 with the fan kicked in.

My DVD drive is very quiet at any time, even the unit I had before =

this Jasper had a very quiet drive.

Define quiet. :-)

There's a distinct difference in volume between my 360 running a gam=

off the hard drive and my 360 running a game off a disc.

It's not like the 360 is blasting away the windows, but it's
definitely noticeable if you're in the same room.

The PS3, though, is *really* loud when the fan kicks in. It's about
halfway to the volume of a hand vac.

Well, this Jasper unit is very quiet as was the refurb before that. Un=

Consider yourself blessed. :-)

I had to reinstall a game just to earn one last achievement over the
course of about a half-hour of game play because I couldn't stand even
the mediocre amount of noise coming from the disc drive.

I didn't have a problem with it before the hard drive install
capability, but now that I'm used to the absolute quiet, I can't go
back.

I'm a little nervous about using my PlayStation 3 too much these days,
though, because that jet engine noise from the fan really concerned me.

If the PS3 is out of warranty, i think i have seen places online who sell
replacement fans for the PS3 that are ball bearing and untra silent. Ill =

to locate the source and post a URL for you.

I think I still have a couple weeks of the really crappy warranty that
Sony provided after they repaired the unit.

It's getting really annoying, though. I was playing a bit of GTA IV
and God of War III last night and the fan kept kicking in. Each time,
it would stay on for about ten minutes, and I couldn't turn up the
volume because it was pretty late and everyone else was asleep. This
time, even with the PS3 vertical, it happened. I mean, I know it's
getting warm, but should a console really overheat this damn quickly?

My nephew was complaining about the PS3 Slim's overheating issues. He
just got it last Friday, and it has overheated (I believe he had to
shut it down) dozens of times. He's happy to have one, of course -
he's wanted one for about two years now - but he's a bit annoyed at
not being able to play for very long before he has to turn it off to
let it cool down.

And in both cases, the consoles are way out in the open with nothing
around them to trap heat (other than the floor, I suppose).


Is the room really hot? Like do you keep your furnace turned way up?

Do not sit it on a carpeted floor.
