The process is pretty straightforward. First, open the PS3 and clean off the old thermal paste using isopropyl alcohol. Then, apply a small dot of new thermal paste (about the size of a pea) on the CPU and GPU. Spread it evenly with a spatula or let the heatsink spread it when reassembling.

Just went through this last week! Clean off the old paste with isopropyl alcohol, apply a pea-sized dot of new paste on the CPU and GPU, and reassemble. Works like a charm!

Be careful not to use too much thermal paste. A pea-sized amount is usually all you need!
