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

hmmm. sounds pretty cool. maybe will consider to beli it.

wah, that is CHEAP thanks for letting us know

but the fan doesnt make any diff rite besides cooling the ps3 which is already cool inside not like the OTHER counter part ?

hmmm PS3 running where got cool...

will get warm... when i attach the fan... and when you put ur hands on the air out take it feels really warm..

funny tho... i setup my PS3 in its vertical fashion.. the back of the PS3 with all the other ports HDMI, Power port area feel warm.. (tats where i attact the fan) but at the top of the PS3 feels cool..

yeah mine also ... but still wont get 3rrod

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:


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..

hi.. bro.. i need help

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 :

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

yea download from ur pc

and transfer using USB....

yes u need the latest firmware to log in.

when i want to install ps3 proxy server thing, it asks me to download .NET framework, that is 3.5 Sp1. After i downloaded and installed, then it still asks me to download again. how come ah?

i think it needs .net 2.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

in you guys opinion what is the best position for the ps3... heat wise?

i stand my ps3 vertical because i want the vents on the top. since heat rises so i figured this is better. but wanted to know you all's opinion.

my ps3 horizontal.vertical takut jatuh pastu my place byk habuk

me horizontal...i do believe both position okey..cause ps3 already designed for both position as long as well ventilation.

ppl on the tubes reported that horizontal is the best orientation for ps3 heat ventilation

mine is vertical btw

my ps3. i hide it behind my lcd tv. so no one kacau it. but still takut jatuh also.
