Would you suggest this intercooler?

Intercooler

Looking though the limited chocies of intercoolers for the PS3, I came across this one. I can read reviews all day long, but It don't tell me squat. I would rather hear it from gamers and those who have used it.

Any useful replys will be much appericated.

I've actually only heard that the intercoolers damage your PS3 since all they do is blow dirt into it? I don't know if this is true but I just run my PS3s vertical in wide open spaces and have never had an issue with overheating.

I've never used an intercooler, but most of what I've heard is negative. I've heard they can damage your PS3, from players to professionals alike.

Use at your own risk.

I put a couple of game cases under mine on either outside edge, so that there's a big ol' air gap under the console... works just fine and didn't cost me a thing.

Like what many have already stated, I wouldnt recommend it either. Intercoolers came about solely by third party peripheral developers to capitalize on the RRoD occurrence. They made money hand over fist b/c of people's paranoia. Infact using an intercooler could void your manufactures warranty. If you're worried about your system overheating on you, the best thing to do is take some preventative measures before hand.

1. Give your system enough rooms to breathe
2. Dont go on 10 hr gaming sessions, let the system cool down.
3. keep the system as dust free as possible
4. Kinda extreme but i highly recommend reapplying the thermal paste on the cpu/gpu, the one sony uses is crap.

I'm not convinced.. I had a 60gig fat PS3 and it was starting to labour (fan noise) keeping itself cool.

I looked at the options.. The only one that looked like an improvement was watercooling.. But the cost meant it was cheaper to get a slim PS3.

Unless you fancy taking your PS3 apart once a year, cleaning the dust and reapplying thermal paste I would just make sure you keep your vents clear and the unit well ventilated.

Oink!

Just buy a mini-fridge and stick that sucker in there. It will keep it icy cool and you'll never have to go far for a fresh beer:D
