How to Cool My PS3 Slim

When you use your PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3 Slim) for a relatively long period of time without turning it off, the inside of the system becomes hot. The hotter the system becomes, the greater the chance of the motherboard burning up. In order to prevent your PS3 Slim from overheating, it's important to allow it to cool down. This simple maintenance step can improve your gaming console's performance and increase its longevity.
