Well jeez maybe change the fan.

This, if it uses a non standard connector just solder the existing wires on to the new fan.

Get a psu and custom mount a liquid cpu cooler to it.

Lucky you my ps3 died exactly 1 week after the warranty expired in 2008. Mgs4 was an underrated game.

Get some 3in1 oil and apply it to the fan. If you look at the back of the fan, you'll see a sticker. Peel it and there is a rubber plug in the center. Remove this plug and apply oil to the spindle.

Don't use water based lubricants like WD40

thanks guys I'll try these out

> making a lot of noise lately (fan)
Explain!
Is the fan spinning at a constant high rate, or is the fan itself making noise.

Prop up the rubber feet on the bottom with 4 bottle caps, the PS3 will get better airflow. I do this on all my consoles and computers.

Clear out any dust inside with compressed air.

Install an aftermarket fan. I know the xbox 360 has the 'talismoon whisper slim' fan, the PS3 probably has some equivalent.
