Here is a video I found of someone (from Sony, I
assume) taking a PS3 apart. It shows the heatsinks on top of the IC's, and other things like that.
I don't know what the chips themselves look like, but it appears that Sony has not cut any corners with the cooling on the PS3, but I guess it never hurts to try making it better.
You are probably right about that second point, but I would rather not be the person playing around inside of a $500 electronic device with little knowledge of what is in there. But, someone has to be the first to do this.
I doubt thats sony taking a ps3 apart in that video.If it is,then no wonder the ps3 cost so much. (IMG:
But anyway, Ive found a bunch of videos and tutorials/pictures, but there all just taking it apart, none showing how they put it back together and how they applied hsc.Maybe they couldnt figure out how to put it back together. (IMG:
