any of you use the add-on fan thing they have for the ps3. just wondering if its useful or not.
*



I add a Magic Fan.. I clip it at the back of the PS3... USB powered. It sucks out the hot air 5X more than the normal PS3 fan does.

PS3 doesnt hv much overheating issues nor the PS3 is hot ay all.. warm only.. but u know it better cooler than warm

The PS3's top vents(at a verticl position) and the vents above the USB ports acts as vent-intakes for the PS3, not as a vent for air-dissipation.
Also, the PS3's fan design is not the same as the 7/9-bladed arc fans you see commonly on PCs.

The fan blades aren't curved, but instead they are made absolutely in a vertical form.

Here is how it looks like:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The fan draws in air from the top vents and bottom vents and then exchaust it out through the back. A much better design than the 360, which only places 2 fans at the back and exhausting hot air.

An extra fan at the back isn't needed at all, and infact can actually disrupt the optimum airflow of the PS3.

unlikely.... BUT dont forget we still hv that LENS problem.

make sure to put away ur Disc when not in use or powering down PS3.

Lately the PS3 seem to be sensitive, when i exit from demo games... it will hang.. already happen like 4 times... twice on my NFS demo.. so I deleted that and the other 2 from other Demo.. but only happened once...

I guess you need to exit your game at the standby screen where it doesnt use much memory when it reads.

@SSJBen

the top vents that i was reffering is at the very top... but i guess it works the same way... as it is an air intake and blow it out at the back... where i place my fan which too sucks out the air the same air flow manner..

U can download the fw via pc first and then transfer it to thumbdrive..before that u need to structure ur thumbdrive folders like this :

http://ps3explained.com/advanced/folder-structure/

After u done that , plug the thumbdrive to PS3 usb..Select System Update > Via Media Storage > Update V2.60 > Yes...
