Thanks
But I couldn't find 45nm is written on PS3 and it's box. BTW, what does nm stand for? And what do u mean by "if it's a PS3, it is safe", any doubt? lol

No, these kinda specs are for the geekest of tech freaks. lol. They don't need to mention it anywhere - just like you won't find a falcon or jasper written anywhere on a 360 box.

nm stands for nanometer. It basically means the width of the smallest "wire" on a CPU die.

ummm......what's with the sudden panic????I mean shyber is right and if the ps3 gets hot it turns itself of doesn't it? Seriously I don't know why this topic hasn't been closed,it only serves to create restless nights .Anyways,those were just my two cents and I don't mean to offend anyone.

It's not like a RROD issue which is mentioned in the 1st post. RRod causes damage to motherboard, cpu and gpu whereas in PS3, yellow light is just a sign for overheating which can only cause damage to fans not any vital organ. I think turning off PS3 when yellow light shows prevent any problem in fans.

Correct-a-mundo!

But just as a pre-cautionary measure i keep my room temperature to about 23-29 C. According to many guides and FAQs the PS3s room temperature should not exceed 35 C

While Keeping the Air Conditioner on, the console's fan hardly reaches its second stage.
