The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) is Sony Entertainment's most advanced console. It contains many electronic parts, including the graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU is responsible for generating visual images in games. Like all of the console's electronic components, the GPU cools down and heats up. This is why the PS3 has built-in fans to prevent overheating. When not in use, the GPU eventually reaches room temperature. If you wish to reheat the GPU, keep in mind the device has limits.
