PS3 fan speed controller experiment

[cupid stunt]

Good evening TW,

I've recently purchased a ps3 from fleabay for £20 wih YLOD.
After refluxing the board and cleaning inside and out, new heat paste, changing hdd to 500gb I now have a fully working machine, apart from one thing....
After about 3 mins the fan goes into warp speed 10 and cannot hear the TV.
I've searched the web looking for a heat sensor mod with no real luck, so my idea is this:
To fit a 100k linear mini pot between feed cable and MB.
Has anyone else tried this or does anyone know of any reasons why I shouldnt try it ???

Im no expert on this but it sounds like you have cooked the heat sensor, can you replace it ?

From what Ive red about over the last couple of days, i have cooked by sensor, but they are not replaceable
i think they're apart of the GPU

Going to maplins tomorrow morning, will let you all know how i get on

In the meantime, lets party !!!!!
