alrught down to business, heres some background on me- i have been working with microelectronics for almost 6 years now and took advanced electronics and robotics in high school, and i have done circuit design for the past 3 years
inorder to make the fan go this fast the system is NOT OVERHEATING WHATSOEVER!
basically how it works is that the motor in the fan is controlled by a speed controller which part of the ps3's onboard systems control, so when the temperature goes up, the thermister/thermocouple detects the temperature and the ps3 tells the fan speed controller how fast to spin the fan.
when you use a"fan test/clean" mode you are telling the ps3 to overide the software that calculates fan speed based on temperature and to tell the fan controller to kick the fan up to 100% speed therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANY DAMAGE FROM A FAN TEST MODE PERIOD!
the most that COULD happen is the fet's in the motor controller could burn out due to use of this option which could render the fan inoperable, but so can normal use.
in other words: the fan test mode couldnt damage the system any more than running it normally.
