Oh sorry!!I thought I had said that already lol...No I've never heard of this before,whats the purpose of drilling the holes?
Edit:looked it up,no I haven't done it and probably never will.More places for dust/debris to get in=bad idea,not worth the long term risk for a couple degrees cooler.

I currently have no issues on the first 120GB Slim model.
When GT6 was just released I had some flickering sky and black screne issues when racing online at Mount Panorama (Bathurst). When I would exit the online lobby my PS3 would sometimes crash (triple beeps). This seems to have been patched or has fixed itself, I don't have this problem anymore.

No crashes whatsoever from a 40GB fat PS3 bought some time in mid to late 2008. The only lock-ups have been the result of bizarre coding or software errors (for instance, attempting to rewind a replay as it tries to exit the replay when it is finished leads to the game hanging at a GT loading screen).

It's crashing whenever I go to the dealership to buy a car.
Any help will be appreciated.

Take backup of your savegame(to usb stick), delete gamedata from xmb and do reinstall. If everything goes well you don't need that backup of your savegame. You'll have to redeem your anni/pre.order codes again to get those cars usable.
Reinstall helped me on similar problem.

Clearing the cache worked for me thankfully.

I think it's in the low 80s F, mid to high 70s, depending on whether the A/C is on or not.

2nd Gen FAT with no crashes. I don't look after it very well and it's quite dusty, plus my dog likes to leave a thorough coating of fur all over the house at certain times of the year. I've played on days when we've had 35 degrees (centigrade) and while the fan works a little harder the only problem has been me sweating.
I did treat it to a new HDD about a year ago as I ran out of space.
Perhaps it's the dog hair and dust which are making it work........
Oh, a quick thought for those using an SSD. I don't think the PS3 supports TRIM which will mean that performance will become a lot worse over time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)). It is possible that disk access times may become so high that this provokes a crash.

For those interested:
"Y/N" are the numbers of votes for those that did crash and those that didn't, respectively; the "rate" is then the proportion of yes answers from the total for that model; and "sensitivity" shows the percentages for one more no vote and one more yes vote respectively (just to show that the low numbers of votes for some models may cause the "rate" figure to be skewed and non-representative).
The mean "crash rate" for all models is 34%. That drops to 31% without CECHA, B; then 29% without CECHA, B and CECH40 (a 15% reduction in the rate for a 23% reduction in votes).
It still seems the first and last generations are the "worst", according to these votes.
So, broadly, 1 in 3 voters have crashes, and a CECHA, B is more than twice as likely to crash as a CECH20, 21, 25, 30.
Note also that 1 in 2 voters have a CECH20, 21, 25, 30.
Code:
Model Y/N rate sensitivity
CECHA, B 17/9 65% (63% / 67%)
CECHC, E 6/11 35% (33% / 39%)
CECHG, H, J 6/17 26% (25% / 29%)
CECHK, L, M, P, Q 8/18 31% (30% / 33%)
CECH20, 21, 25, 30 44/108 29% (29% / 29%)
CECH40 16/22 42% (41% / 44%)
Total 282 votes."Y/N" are the numbers of votes for those that did crash and those that didn't, respectively; the "rate" is then the proportion of yes answers from the total for that model; and "sensitivity" shows the percentages for one more no vote and one more yes vote respectively (just to show that the low numbers of votes for some models may cause the "rate" figure to be skewed and non-representative).

Off topic, but I feel it must be shared-
To all those wondering if they should switch from a fat to a slim-
I had a launch system (Came with free Ricky Bobby Blu-Ray), and played it at least once or twice a week until the first week of last November, where I got the GTA 5 bundle with the 250gb superslim.
My games are running much more smooth now and the system isn't freezing as bad as my fatty was in the last year of its life. Sure, there are freezes still, but that's almost never the system's fault and more the fault of today's half finished games put up on the shelf.

Fourth Gen CECH25
System froze solid when my Audi R10 was under auto control on pit entry at the end of lap 3 of the Le Mans 24 minutes. No button on wheel or DS3 would respond.
Pressed start button and got three beeps. On restart I was prompted to sent data to Sony, I did, and was offered system check, declined.

I'm going to take off the heat spreaders and re-apply thermal paste and see if it works. If not, I'm going to archive my fat and go for the slim/super-slim.

I don't think you're right (see http://www.thessdreview.com/daily-n...explained-an-ssd-primer/2/?PageSpeed=noscript or look at a review like http://www.anandtech.com/show/7908/adata-sp920-128gb-256gb-512gb-1tb-review/2). SSDs have had garbage collection for a long time but they can't see when a file is deleted unless the OS tells them.
