the fan is 12v as well.. this is overkill just put a fan controler in it and replace the cheap thermal pased if you want to inprove airflow that bad cut a hole were the fan is inside the ps3 and put the fan controler i have a original 60gb that never gets hot and i did what i just told you to do.. ALSO REPLACE YOUR 15 blade fan with a 19.. the 15 circulates air and is louder then the 19 which kicks alot of air out
As far as putting fans on the BACK of the PS3, you can put them there but configure them as exhaust fans and not intake fans. The rear of the PS3 is where most of the air is expelled with the other exhaust being out the right side of the console. So exhaust fans on the back and right side and intake fans on the front. This is how he does it in the vid, he just isnt taking the time to add exhaust fans on the back because he states he doesnt want to fool with taking the motherboard out again,
@TheEuardo15 do the old ps3s have the red ring of death, i dont even think they can get a ring of death if they wanted to. i have had my ps3 since 2008 still works man
@TheEuardo15 i think it would start glitching out after 9th hour playing skyrim lol plus i would only play for 12, to 24 hours if i got paid for it, or if i was an insomniac (or just plain meth head haha) <btw never gonna happen fuck meth
@CallmeRoth in the back is where the ps3 exhales the hot air. so if u put fans there ur ps3 will die sooner, its like putting two super fans in ur nose. ur not gonna be able to breathe
Uhhhhh, This may still work, but the top vent on the ps3 is an Intake, not an exhaust. im sure this doesnt make a difference in your work though. but now there is a 3 way "vaccum" of air in the inside of the system.
Yo, check out my ps3 cooing mod. I cut out 3 holes to fit 3 mini fans underneath my ps3 casing. Many things went wrong, but i finally got it working :L
as far as i can see your tapping into the main power source for your ps3 which damages the ps3. your stealing some of its power. it may not seem like a lot but overtime it hurts it bad.
Your ps3 looks proper awesome! But i wouldn't have all those fans on it. I just keep my ps3 in a open space. I had my ps3 for nearly 4 years now and still runs strong. Good video, i liked and sub :P
Just as an FYI, your big fans on the side are the wrong way round. You have them pulling air out of the system - the vents on the side are an intake. If you don't believe me, find someone else's system and hold a cigarette or incense stick next to it - you'll see the smoke being pulled in.
cool mod, i think playstation and xbox needs to take notes on how people are making better cooling systems for there consoles cuz the stock cooling just does not cut it anymore, there are just too many systems dieing cuz of overheating and it retarded how you pay between 200$ or 300$ for a system that will only last about 2 or 3 years and there are n64's that still work to this day
i was thinking of getting those outside fan that you put on you're ps3, one throwing the air in, and the other one taking air out. and glue the fan on the right side of the ps3, or on top if you are standing the ps3. also i'm planing to make something so the ps3 will be elevated from where it stand like 3inch above stand., because i like to leave my ps3 horizontal way . i won't do all those things you did with the fans, because i don't have that ability that you have.
If you had the front fans as intake then why were the fans facing the same way as the top extract fans. you prob wired the front ones in reverse which goes against the blade design so they arent working as good as they can.
@Bluterus The fans would maybe increase the load by another 30-40w, not much at all, wouldn't increase the temp. The psu is more than powerful enough haha.
@sneaker177 Yeah true man I been listening to too many console morons that whinge about disrupting the airflow, drawing more power, creating heat etc etc.
Since I posted this I just chopped a hole in the bottom of mine put on a magnetic filter mesh so I can clean the dust off it easily then run a laptop cooling pad. Also cut out the plastic grill on the back over the exhaust and it flows shitloads more air.
Wish I could do as good as you with all the LED's but looks tough.
@Bluterus Nice! I don't even have a ps3 haha, but I love seeing mods and shit for these little things XD. I remember back w/ my old pc case my temps were so damn high, shitty cheapo case :/. Antec 300 dropped my idles by 15-20 and loads by 10 :D
@sneaker177 Yeah good case them I run one at work runs cool as. At home I got a thermaltake Armour+ best mod I did on my q9550 was duorb cooler and ic diamond 7 resulting in 25 degree temp drop on load.
Hay modder.How do i go about powering the fans.Iv got the lyod twice now and i presume that it will happen again so im going to go ahead and do this mod.So I'm wondering what a molaxe is,if that's what its call and how I go about setting it up.
I plan on cutting a hole in the bottom of the case right under the ps3s fan and sticking a 120mm fan right on top of it to blast the air out the top and back. Already had the ylod once on my 60gb launch model dont want it again...
looks so shit proper cheap job you should build the fans into the ps3 or put casing round them it looks like the fans are just stuck to the outside by a 4 year old aha
Now that's just nasty.. those small things rotating air around themselves, making noise, prolly make you feel good about yourself... Won't do a damn thing to help the cooling.
Mod the original fan to go at higher RPM, that'll actually reduce the temps the way it was engineered by someone who knows about 186 times more about this crap than you do.
@petti78 Actually the fans will increase general air flow inside the console, higher intake + insane out-take. THIS will reduce the temperature. If i get my pc w/o case fans, cpu aftermarket cooler on max. Idles at 38-40, load at 50-55. That's @ 28 ambient. With case fans on MEDIUM, 2 intake, 2 exhaust, I get 33 idle and 45 load. Airflow makes more difference than just one fan pushing air.
I hope you understand the dynamics of airflow and how those 2 top fans are placed on that vent incorrectly. the top half of that side vent is and intake, whereas the bottom half is an exaust. with this in mind, those fans will conflict with the flow of the top intake half, thus negating the idea of "cooling down the console". lol
dude you should of not hot glued it cause what happens if one of the fans brake you cant take it out you should of used those pulls strips and just strip it on there but besides that i like what you did with your fans
i dont no why some people complain or critic how loud fans are when u wont even hear the dam thing if u hav ur volume turned up, in my opinion who cares how loud they are if they do their job. But thats just me
hay i really want to do something cool to my playstation like up PS3 in LED's and hook it up so it reacts to sound. I know you need a chip for that.I'd relly like it if you could make a video on how to hook up the leds and how to hook up the chip.
There are some videos on how to do it already on youtube, its never happened to me but I believe you will need to reflow the solder, you need a heat gun I think. just search it
@thetom260605 Yeah buy the heat gun at Lowes $25 and Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound from Radioshack $10. Watch Gilksy's video on youtube except spread the compound with "the cross method" instead of the thin layer
@ATLien174 skip to 2:16 in a video entitled "How thermal compound spreads" by a user named yaochoon so you can get an idea of how the paste spreads. The thin layer technique is so wrong it got me into ylod 4 times already! Then you gotta use "a break- in period" ie: leave it on for a while laying down. As it gets hotter it spreads out more compound and settles. I'm doing like a 12 hour session as I type. It's loud right now but when the paste settles better it will be quieter like on launch day!
You might want to go with IC Diamond 7 or 24. These are far better thermal compounds than AS 5.
To be honest with you Liquid Pro is the best out of all of then, but you can't use Liquid Pro on aluminum, so try the IC Diamond. Its doesn't bleed like that other stuff.
@ATLien174 I didn't even know that stuff existed!! I'll wait til my PS3 craps out again to order it because I applied the compound the correct way this time; I have a feeling it's all good. The second it happens again tho I'll go straight for the IC Diamond. Thanks for the info!
It did once about a year ago when I first put a strip of 8 LEDs in it, I had the cover off and that decreases the air flow. I played almost an hour then it just turned off.
The small fans look more like 0.14mm fans.
