PS2 SLIM HEAT PROBLEM Solution.

There is a lot complaint that the 2nd Generation PS2 Slim having heat issues after few hours of gameplay. For an example when i was playing Need For Speed : Prostreet, the system would hang during afternoon (about 12pm-6pm) continuous game play. I didn't have this problem during night time gaming though. Even though i put a table fan blowing full speed to cool down the PS2, it did not help much.


Fed up with the problem, this is what i come up with.



Bosch Pro GSB 16RE


Testing...


Male PS2...


Final Product


Add-On USB Powered 8CM Casing Fan (Temporary fan, LED Crystal Fan coming soon)


After i test the PS2 with the 8CM Fan, the differences is not noticeable, so i didn't fix it together with the PS2, as the ventilation holes are more than enough to provide cool air flow inside the ps2. Now there is less heat exhausted in the rear ventilation holes compared to previously and i didn't experience hang or stuck during middle of game play until now.

This will void the warranty so please do it on your own risk.
