MarketTantrik Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 ^^ Panic is inevitable when you fear the sight of your INR 25-35K going up in smoke. Instead of condemning news/rants about the problems, we should try and post news about the workarounds / solutions to the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 btw i didn't know about this : New PS3 Uses 65nm ProcessSony's boss confirms it. by Anoop Gantayat US, November 8, 2007 - It seems that everywhere you go, someone has a different story about the technology that's inside the new 40 gigabyte PS3 model. There seems to be a bit of confusion over the current state of the Cell processor that powers the console. Is it the original chip that launched with the system, produced with a 90nm fabrication process, or is it a smaller, more efficient chip, produced using a 65nm process? Today, Sony Computer Entertainment boss addressed the issue directly. In an interview posted at Japan's Impress Watch, Kaz Hirai confirmed that the new model uses a 65nm process for the Cell chip. The system's RSX graphics chip, on the other hand, still uses a 90nm process. However, the shrinkage of the CPU alone was enough to cut the power usage of the system considerably. Elsewhere in the interview, Hirai commented on the future of the backwards compatible 60 gigabyte and 20 gigabyte (still available in Japan) models. He confirmed that neither model is in production at the moment. However, he added that depending on how the market reacts, it's possible for Sony to produce them again.

Daedalus Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 so is this one safe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 PS3 doesn't have overheating problems, so both 65 and 90nm chipped SKUs are safe. The recent crop of problems are caused by faulty drives and on all regions and models of PS3 except 40GB ones....so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixeljunkie Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 gonna try the PS3 swap trick to see if it works!!!! Something i keep forgetting to mention is that try switching off/disabling music in the options menu for every BD/DVD game. This should prevent your drive from conking out as the music is streamed off the disc while playing and is not directly loaded onto the memory unlike textures and other similar/relevant game data.
