Nice product,automaticly senses your PS3 run temperature and goes on when needed.Snaps right into place without any interference to you console.
Great cooling device November 14, 2008 This fan is the best on the market. It fits perfectly on the new 80gb model and is not as loud as some reviews might lead you to believe. It keeps the PS3 much cooler.
IS THERE ANY USABLE COOLER ? November 14, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just got my cooler today. i was so excited becase i thought it will make my PS3 cooler. but this was mistake to purchase before i see any review. DO NOT BUY THIS COOLER. It does not fit on my PS3 80GB. i tried to snap in but only left side fit in. right side does not. I'm thinking about return this cooler as defective.
Good buy, but loud. November 6, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just had a PS3 die on me and I figured it was due to heat. So I looked extensively for a cooling fan that was reliable and easy to install. I discovered this one, the Intercooler TS by Nyko.
The cooler was a very simple to attach to the PS3. All you do is snap it to the back and that's it. Very simple. Most of the gripes I read about other coolers were about installation problems. You will not have this problem with this cooler.
Another positive about this cooler is that it runs on its own power source. No using limitied USB slots (depending on your PS3 system) to power the device. The fans run automatically depending on the temperature of the Playstation so you don't have to manually shut the cooler off. Big plus!
There are four fans that cool off the system. I have my PS3 located in an entertainment center. Before I installed the fans, you could feel the heat radiating from the system. Now, it's cooler. You still feel the heat coming from the top (when standing up), but you can feel cooler air coming from the back.
Now for the negatives. The fans are LOUD!!! Even on low they are significantly loud. Just so there is no confusion: The fans turn on and off automatically, but they don't adjust in the same fashion (another negative I'll get to in a minute). When set at the highest setting they are annoyingly loud. Playing a game or movie at a high volume drains the noise out a bit but it is still noticable.
Now for the adjustment nob; I thought it was a bit of an annoyance that the fans turn on and off automatically, but the fan speeds don't adjust in the same way. You have to do that on your own. It makes me a bit uneasy because I keep wondering do I have the fans up high enough to avoid overheating the Playstation. I don't want to keep the fans on high constantly because I feel it will wear the intercooler down faster. That's just me.
Overall I think the Intercooler TS works well. If you are having overheating issues with your Playstation 3, or you store it in a confined entertainment center, you seriously want to consider buying this device. Of all the devices on the market, I thought this was the better buy.
