This cooling fan is great, but do realize that you are adding fans so it will be louder. If you sit real close to your ps3 while playing it may be a little distracting but if you have a surround sound you won't tell much of a difference. Without any scientific numbers a can feel a difference in the temp. of the air coming out when the fans are on. It seems to be much cooler.

This Intercooler does not fit my PS3 the back is designed wrong and will not work with my PS3. I would like to know which PS3 this product would actually fit because ever PS3 I ahve seen is the exact same design as mine!?
Rating: - PS 3 Intercooler,
This item is not up to what it should be. I makes too much noise during use.
That being said. Shame on Sony for making a product that needs this additional device. I have had to buy this just to cool the product so I could use it safely. Turning off the PS 3 without the intercooler is almost like cooking the electronics. A redesigned PS 3 or intercooler would be a marked improvement. I give both items a negitive feedback for it's cooling capacity and poor hardware design. The system does work other than that issue. Thanks for listening.

This product pushes more air into the unit and you can actually feel the hot air being pushed out and away through the back of the unit. An intercooler is especially important if you have the PS3 in an enclosed area such as a wall unit. The installation is easy, no tools required, simply align and push into place. The design compliments the PS3, it puts the power button in front of the unit and it has a knob to adjust the speed of the fans. This unit does increase the noise level but after a couple of days I got used to it and it's a non-factor. As you know, when you turn off the PS3, the PS3 fan also turns off; however, the intercooler fans keep running until you turn off the power button. Once I turn off the PS3, I leave the intercooler running for a couple of minutes to allow it to completely cool down the PS3.
The only reason that I did not give this intercooler a higher rating is because I have only had it for two weeks and already at startup it's making an unusual high level of noise, like if the fan(s) are stuck. I have to turn it off and on, adjusting the fan speed until it begins working (sounding) normal. At this time I do not know how long the intercooler will last...
