Is my fat PS3 doomed?
Post Body

I recently cleaned and repasted my fat PS3 and installed CFW to check temps with Webman. It's been running fine on a daily basis playing Drakengard for PS2 1-3 hours at a time, but today I was playing for maybe 45 minutes when it beeped 3 times accompanied by flashing red led and the fan kicked up to what sounded like 80% (no way to tell as I was playing a PS2 game). It didn't shut down and I was pretty quick to exit the game and the CPU was at like 71° when I checked the Webman stats. Didn't take note of the RSX temp, but I'm gonna assume it was mid to high 60s. No graphical errors or freezing occurred and when it was back down to normal temps (it normally idles around 58° CPU and 54° RSX) I fired up Skate 2 and played it for about 30 minutes so I could keep track of the temps while playing and it was perfectly fine. Neither the CPU or RSX ever passed 60° and the fan stayed at 34% the entire time. Any ideas as to what that might have been about? I bought this model specifically to play my PS2 games, but now I'm afraid to do that lol
