magic 3 vice city and overheating
ok i know iam new to the ps2 scene but somewhere i read that magic 3 chips have a problem with heat if you dont use the propper wire size or maybe have a cold solder joint. doesnt vice city constantly load data off the dvd causing the ps2 and the chip to work harder and produce more heat. somewhere i saw a company was putting a thermal pad between the chip and the metal cover so the pad would transfer the heat to the cover acting as a heat sink and dropping the temp of the magic chip by over 10 degrees C. this stopped the games from freezing.
