Just wan to know

You have your answer, the cooler are not even required on PS3

Nope. The PS3 fans themselves are good enough.

my ps3 already looks cool...heheh

yup no cooler..... and i think it can do well enough since my PS3 already work like tat more than 16 months.

if i dont put, will the thermal paste melt

if u must know..i use satay fan from time to time

i didnt bother with it....it's not like we gonna get a nice 'ring' if we didnt put one

why need a fan when we won't get Red Ring of Death?

i read somewhere that 80/60/20GB consumes more electricity and hence, emits more heat than the standard 40GB because of the different processors, is that true?

maybe it's true...but so far, my 80g set never fail on me..not even once

and for me, the heat they produce..it's more warmer than a hairdrier

if the PS3 can survive under sauna for several weeks and show no sign of mulfunction, why does it need a cooler?

As long as you take care of your machine, it won't get fried easily. Just put it on environment that is cooling. Dust is also another problem.

Yes because it's using smaller 65nm Cell chip and consequently a smaller heat pipe. It's great, because these changes make system more quite and reduce systems power requirements from 200 to 135 watts. But keep in mind, new PlayStation 3 40 GB has no memory card reader, only two USB ports, and no PS2 backward compatibility.

wow they are so cool...
but do we need that?

anyway... i didnt use any extra fan / cooler...
normally i play inside my room with air cond..

naah, dont need the cooler.. first of all, the system can handle the m'sian heat already... 2nd, damn la the cooler is hell ugly..

whos the fool that voted 'Yes'?

1) someone who owns a PS3 and bought a Fan
2) an ex-xbox360 kaki that kena RROD and now paranoid gila
3) someone who went for the comedy option

haha, i got pretty good feeling that the no 2 is somehow quite make sense..

i guess i am number 1.. but havent voted.

dun need cooler le...
if scare kena "3rod"
use fan blow ur ps3 and on aircon!

i put my PS3 on top of laptop cooler (Aluminium Cooler Master CoolPad), just make use of it since i have extra cooler.

all electrical appliances perform better when cooled. take you pick, to have or not to have. don't have fan, good enough. have fan, better. have water cooling, (aiyak, buang duit!) THE BEST!

a fan is redundant on the ps3, except if u are operating on an exceptionally hot environment , like in the office of a iron forge then MAYBE.

hm...i had put the fan and one day my ps3 reboot itself..im very scared and after im"investigate" i think the fan cause of it(the heat cannot go out) ..huhu..right now im play my ps3 without fan..and still ok without it reboot itself..damn,lost rm100..

LOL..i salute to who are crazy enough to play PS3 in Iron Forge

that man is one-hell lucky guy if the ps3 survive in that tempt..
