hi guys.. havnt been posting here for quite sometime.

anyway; jst last week i finally decided to cut the rear exos fins of my PS3

mine is the earlier model 40gb phat (CECHG06 model) bought early 2008. running strong till now. finally decided to cut the rear fins for better air flow.

well.. below is some pics after cutting it out. havnt had the time to sand paper it yet..

as a OCer & Case modder b4; we know every little blockade = restriction. so.. removing them = best air flow. less restriction means cooler or stable machine.

Before
i tested myself b4 i started to cut the rear case fin; played AO2 40thday for about 30mins, get the ps3 heated up and kinda put my hand behind to feel the air flow.. its hot, i do feel hot air blowing out. quite standard.

applied the evercool defender exos fan and felt the air getting suck out.. better den the stock fan, much more hot air is suck out

AFTER!
allowed my ps3 to rest while i cut the rear casing fin. make sure i cut it nicely
same drilled; played AO2 40th day for about 30mins, get my ps3 all worked out.. now testing time!

this time i put my hand three time the distance away from my ps3 during the first test; INCREDIBLE! i can FEEL the hot air even from tat distance.

with the fins remove; the amount of hot air flowing out is TREMENDOUS! + with the evercool defender exos plugin, its like a turbo charge hot air sucking machine!!

now u know how air restrictive those fins are

i certainly would say its a pretty fairly good mod for me

PS: don worry about bugs, lizards or roaches crawling in cos if they wanna crawl in. they would have done it long time ago, besides those bugs can squeeze thru the stock gaps anytime plus i cover up my ps3 when i don play it

to those who wanna mod it; its at your own risk

Lol,of coz lor.I never thought of buying ps3.Before this got follow some console info but since xbox360 and ps3 out,never follow up anymore.I didnt buy any game when I bought my ps3 due to buying lightning set without game but now already have 4 game already.2 new games and 2 2nd hand one =)
