be-careful not to snap the ribbon cable conector on the mo-bo its really fragile .
and what they said above about thermal compound be sure to totally remove the cement sony put on the CPU/GPU before applying your compound.

Re: PS3 v XBox.
 

The 'cement' was wet when I took it off. Is that right?
Being careful not to snap any ribbon cable.

Re: PS3 v XBox.
 

Yeah if your is not long back from sony then yeah it will still be wet, was it plastered on though lol they normally put way to much on .

its the connector not the cable it self mate.

Re: PS3 v XBox.
 

I got it in January 2009 so thought it would've dried by then. Yeah looked too much.
The connector?? How do people break that?

Re: PS3 v XBox.
 

are you taking a slim apart or a fat version?
i broke one on a fat version once, didn't really do nothing just unclipped it as normal and it snapped so i am always carefull now.

Re: PS3 v XBox.
 

Boom!!! Fixed!!! Happy about that. Letting it run for an hour to make sure.

It's the fat version. No problem with any connector or ribbon..which was nice.
