Ps3 Question

Well this is really off topic but of well. Ive noticed that my PS3 is running very hot and the fan kicks on a lot, is this normal? Its got air flow. Should I get a little fan for it and put it behind the unit??? I know from other electronics (home amps) that they work better when they are cool.

I assume you're noticing this when playing BR titles? Or is is gaming as well?
They do sell accessory fans for the PS3, but the biggest thing is space around the unit for heat dissipation, without that you'll cook any electronics not just your PS3... NefCanuck

Do you have your system laying flat or standing up?
your best bet is to have it standing up + a fan I have a nice one that i got off ebay, has a LED thermostat that controls the speed of the fans My buddies at work swear by the Nyko fan, it wraps around the back and top(when stood up)

The fans running is just the PS3 heat management doing it's thing. If you keep the vents clear on the PS3, and ensure a bit of airspace around it, you should be fine.
The accessory fans you buy may help cool the machine, but I haven't heard of any longevity issues without them. mine has been powered on for nearly a year now, and it's still going strong. Contribute to focuscanada.net's future! Donations of $20 and over get a custom title! |
