Why does installing WebMan on my PS3 make my console's fan maximum speed.
What were they thinking, break your fucking console?
@onfy PS3s, especially first-gen ones were notoriously easy to overheat, see also yellow light of death
@noiob I have a slim, it rarely gets hot, I need it to be hot anyway or it won't read discs, and IT WILL BE EASY TO OVERHEAT IF THE FUCKING FAN BREAKS FROM SPINNING AT 100000000RPM.
@onfy I'm not sure if it's that bad to run fans at max speed
@noiob They never ran this fast for me before, so I assume they weren't intended to run this high, or at least the fan curve is RIDICULOUSLY aggressive.
@onfy no I mean the maximum voltage provided to the fan should be to spec, the software just sets it to 100%
@noiob Well I dunno, I know on a hacked Xbox it's possible to set the fan to a higher speed than it ever goes normally. And really not recommended.
On top of that I fucking hate the sound of fans spinning at high speed. One of the things that annoys me most with old PCs, back then we did small fans that spin super fast instead of big (or no) fans that spin slow.
@onfy looks like you can simply increase the target temperature, I assume it's just set way too low https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/wiki/~-Fan-Settings
@onfy or just use SYSCON, that should be as quiet as stock
@noiob Seems like it's same as stock? I eventually found it but it's horrible UX looking for a setting while your console is screaming.
@noiob That's the thing. The default software on an unmodded console does not run them that fast, at least not for me. My PS3 usually runs at 50-70C.
