@Mikey856 Yeah, they weren't very reliable at all. I read that the reason all the PS3 FAT models were prone to YLOD was because of the NEC/TOKIN capacitors, the inferior quality thermal paste Sony used on the RSX + Cell processors and the default fan speed set too low by Sony with no way to change it unless using custom firmware or a hardware mod.
