notes:

• Read out is done with multiman or temperature readout homebrew and notated here in degrees celcius
• The values inside multiman (or other apps not specifics for temperature tests) are meassuring the processing/graphics load of this app. Comparisons between different apps (or versions of the same app) are not accurate
• Depending of the internal design of each model, from a "fresh" start the time needed to stabilish the temperature can vary around 1 hour. Comparisons between not-stable temperatures are not accurate
• When in a stable temperature, there is always a fixed difference between CELL and RSX, for slim series is around +-2ºC (this depends of each model and how close are one of the other, also depends of the temperature of the whole motherboard/console, included metal parts and plastic case)

Overheat warning

Photo of the overheat warning message using "notification window" (at topright corner in main XMB )

The text is loaded from path: dev_flash/vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco/Text/<language>.xml (localized for all languages). Example from English.xml extracted from the .rco with rcomage:

Code Sample

The icon (a caution white circle with an admiration mark inside) displayed at left inside the notification window... is loaded from dev_flash/vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco/Images/tex_notification_caution.png (the conversion to .png is made by rcomage, is not really a .png inside the .rco container... images inside .rco's doesnt uses file extensions)

Note how both, the text and the icon, are refered by his name in the code below
