Hi!

Because my 1st gen PS3 kept on overheating and daily had a YLOD.
I started my extreme heatsink fix.
I bought 2 Coolermaster TX3's. And a System bracket fan.
And started working to keep my PS3 running cool al day.
Succes; system has been running a week on like 20 degrees room temp!

Questions? shoot!
Nick

    My tip is stay away from Sony

    Everything i bought already broke!

    YLOD is a Sony design Flaw!

    the heatsink sucks

    Thermal paste sucks
