SO when do you think they will release this version of the PS3. I want to buy a PS3 but I want to wait till they shrink that one down.

the nm rating of the cpu has absolutely no relation to the size of the machine, nor does the ps3 suffer from heat issues.

Will run cooler though. don't the 40GB's run cooler or something?

Well, as long as you take care of your PS3 and don't keep it on for a straight 12 hours every single day, then you should be fine.

IMO, this was just Sony being cautious that it might happen, but so far, only less careful people are getting overheating PS3s.

PS3 graphics chip going 65nm this Fall.

i have my ps3 on for days on end, ive left it on for 8 days while on vacation (folding at home) and ive never had a problem and doubt i will.

THeres no benefit really to the end-user of having 65nm. It just lowers production costs on Sony's side.

Temperatures also plummet on a die-shrink usually. Reduces the chances of hardware faults developing.

Dang, I run mine for a good 10 hours maybe. But I am not the only gamer on it, thats why.

True. The PS3 will not overheat as long as it is in a properly ventilated area. I left mine folding @ home for about one month when I took a vacation and mine (60 gig) did not overheat and/or burn my house down.

On topic: Would the 65nm RSX make a noticeable difference in power consumption? That would be worth waiting for.

You can buy a cooling fan for $20 and it works great!

those are not needed and disrupt airflow, plus they void the warranty

**GW2** · 07-23-2008, 10:41 AM

why buy a cooling fan for a product which does not have a heat problem. this is why i hate the general populous.

What difference would that make if you're the one who left the damn thing running for a month while you weren't home?

Why must it be a damn thing? Have I offended you somehow? It makes no difference to me as I already have two PS3's and won't be getting another anytime soon. If the new RSX chip consumes less electricity then the O.P. and others may find that information useful as they plan towards purchasing a PS3 in the future, especially if they are concerned with their power usage/bill.
