Thermal

Overview

The PS2 has a thermal sensor IC in proximity to the EE (or EE+GS, depending on the revision).

On consoles with a Dragon MechaCon (SCPH-5XXXX and later), the thermal sensor is connected to the MechaCon and the temperature can be read from software. On earlier consoles, the thermal sensor is connected to the SysCon and the temperature can (currently) not be read from software.
