I don't know about that, but I can tell you that I have left my PS3 for like about 4 days in a row folding@home (which uses the PS3's full capacity) and nothing has happened. Not even slightly heating, nothing 👍

It'll only overheat when you put it down in John Bergin's basement insulation.

Yeah and he wants me to take it there next time I visit him...

OK I've found the part about the overheat warning.

Its in the Quick Reference guide (for the UK at least), along with a warning that the PS3 should not be placed in a location that will allow heat to build up (such as a closed cabinet), it also says that should the system detect a rise in the internal temperature the power indicator will flash alternately in Red and Green. Should this happen the unit should be powered down and allowed to cool, before being restarted in a location with better ventilation.

A little off topic but can you explain in very few words how that works?

Simplest way?

Ozzy has been running Folding@home for approximately 4 days straight. And his PS3 did not overheat.

Shortest way? Oh.
