I'm really not sure why this item has received such poor feedback. I've repaired a few PS3s since the console launched and the fist batch with the 90nm cell run pretty damn hot. You also have to remember all the PS3 components are packed in very tight with only one fan (albeit a giant one) cooling the cpu and gpu.

I'm sure in an ideal world (if manufacturing costs were cheaper) the back of the PS3 would have had an exhaust fan from the start. But alas it didn't and some of us, myself included, have seen articating and other problems caused by excessive heat.

My advice is, if you have a launch model pick this up. If you have one of the newer 65nm models you won't be needing it.

cooling devise... my bum.
well, i bought this fan even though i no my ps3 is capable of looking after its self, but just coz i love it so much and i play for long periods of time, i though ill get a fan so it dosent get too hot. DONT BUY ONE its pants, i played for not even an hour and the thing could of fried eggs on it. the ps3 normalry it gets hot near the top, with the fan on.... well it might as well of glowed red, any way i took it off and continued to play and you know what it cooled down, cold to the touch. oh and its bloody noisy.
thanks for reading

does not fit on some ps3 40 gb models
i bought mine second hand from amazon marketplace and when i recieved it it did not fit on my ps3 40 gb model. maybe because it was an older model brought out before the 40gb was introduced but be carful when you by one.
