You gotta take apart your PS3, clean off the old gunk with some isopropyl alcohol, then apply a small pea-sized amount of new thermal paste to the chip surfaces. Reassemble and you're good to go!

First, you'll need to disassemble your PS3, including removing the hard drive, covers, and heatsinks. Clean off the old thermal paste with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth, then apply a small amount of new thermal paste to the CPU and GPU before reassembling.

Make sure your console is unplugged! Disassemble the PS3, clean off old paste with rubbing alcohol, and apply new paste to the CPU and GPU before putting it all back together. Be careful not to use too much paste!
