I have a really annoying Playstation 3 Loud Fan Problem!!!?
Holy smokes, you tweaked my melon with that info. Now let me see if I can answer your question. First, I have the same problem that you do. And the same game caused my fan to sound louder (Red Dead). I had the thermal compound replaced in my ps3. That is the "grease" they use to keep the CPU/GPU from overheating. After time it can wear off or run into the the chips and cause overheating and damage. The first sign of your console heating up too much is the fan kicking into high gear after only a short period of time. So first I would recommend having the thermal compound replaced. You will have to find a local console repair service to do this unless your willing to try this yourself. Youtube has videos that can guide you, but it's highly RISKY. The next step would be to install a 19 blade fan. This may help a little but more than likely you won't notice much of a difference. I have also have a 19 blade fan. Beyond these two steps there isn't really anything that can be done. My console still makes a lot of noise at times, and the fan still kicks into 2nd gear too soon. It doesn't kick into a 3rd gear like it used to though. Certain games do tax it more than others. I'm finding that the newer games with massive amounts of data on the disc cause my console more problems. Unfortunately we have to live with the fan noise, as our consoles are older and they don't operate like they used to. You may get lucky and notice a significant improvement, I hope you do. Good luck.
