All PlayStation 3's are able to get Ylod. Some may even argue that PS3 slims are more likely to get Ylod due to the size. A smaller console means less room for heat sinks and fans, Meaning that the PS3 will generate and hold more heat which is a number one cause for Ylod

The above must have been written by someone who does not understand that the PS3 slim uses less power and will run cooler than the Fat PS3 and does not have an overheating problem. The actual available and unused space in the PS3 slim is greater than in the Fat PS3, but overheating is not a problem for the PS3 slim. Overheating is worse in the first PS3 4 USB port models released with the highest power consumption at 200 watts and 380 watts max even the last PS3 Fat models used 130 watts and 280 watts max. The slim PS3 uses only 100 watts and 250 watts max

If you are asking if a PS3 slim can break then the answer is yes. They run cooler than the Fat PS3 and even later fat models had less problems with overheating. The PS3 slim has the lowest power consumption of any of the Earlier PS3 models and the power consumption is what leads to the heat

Should the playstation 3 slim gets the ylod?

clean your vents make sure they are always well maintained and make sure your ps3 is always cool. dont put it into surrounded places or close places like closets or tv stands because the surrounding will keep the heat around ps3 causing it to overheat which will cause ylod. People that dont do this get ylod. I have fixed my ylod resoldering the motherboard and i have been keeping my vents clean have it on stand near the window with window little cracked open for it to be cooled down and no problems for over 2 years now.
