R.I.P my Playstation 3

[CRAZMEX]

I bought that NYKO piece of crap fan add-on and the fans wore out in about 2 months...make all kinds of noise!

 

Just buy a laptop base fan unit...they're usually about $15-$25 and plug into usb as well. I put one under my PS3, on top of my Receiver and DVR. Now I'm Chillin like a villan!

 

Here's where I got em...http://shop1.frys.com/{+Y-EfH9IQvhac6xVQZtYYQ**.node2}/product/4977051;jsessionid=+Y-EfH9IQvhac6xVQZtYYQ**.node2?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

You gotta love how Karma works. Ask Earl aboot that! ;D

 

 

I leave mine on ALL the time. If that fugger is gonna fail, it's gonna do it while it's still under warranty.

 

Yea I'm getting the box in 3-5gays and I gotta wait till they repair it oh g-wiz I guess ill be spending more time at the gym now.

 

Or your computer lol

Is that possible.? ;D

1: I think it's actually a 60G common problem with the overheating, isn't it? That particular model? I think that's why they discontinued it. My own 60G overheated on me back when, so I now have a 40G.

 

2: I do not own a fan....however, I DID get some VERY good (and logical) advice on these "PS3-savers." Make certain that you have a fan that plugs into the wall under its OWN POWER CORD....not one powered by the PS3 itself through some USB jack. Basically, all you're doing if you have a USB jacked fan is USING power from the PS3 to cool down the PS3's power USE. A little redundant there. You're making your PS3 work HARDER in order to cool itself off. I think the PS3-plugged-in fans are just plain senseless.

There are models out there that work independently, and those are the ones to get.

 

3: I also keep mine in open-air ventilation. I don't keep it in a cabinet or anything where the warmth can have a hard time escaping.

It didn't overheat it was the firmware update that got messed up by my Ethernet cable I just took a look at my cable its ripped up a bit I think it was cut when I was moving stuff around.

UH, Thats how it works under the hood of your car though. And thats how a pc cooling system works.

 

If the amount of heat made from the powering of a usb fan is less than that wich can be disperced, then it should work.
