Nyko Intercooler for Playstation 3 Review

So is the intercooler worth the price tag? Although relatively inexpensive at around thirty bucks, it’s still a chunk of change that could’ve purchased half of another controller, right? Well the answer is yes and no. If you’re the type who is paranoid about the safety of your system, one who takes precautions and does preventative maintenance, or one who likes gadgets, this is for you. However, because the PS3 is not generally known for any defects involving temperature, I wouldn’t call the intercooler essential.

It is quite sleek and sexy though…

what a surefire way to ruin the internal fans on the ps3! if the nyko fans are spinning slower than the ps3 fan the nyko fans will act as a restriction, if the nyko fans are spinning faster than the internal fans then the ps3 fan will be the barrier.

Ebay man, I got mine a while back for around $21.00USD.
One major tip though, get yourself some high RPM Fans to replace the Nyko POS fans.
I got Red LED ones with 7200RPM

the Two main rears are 40x40x20mm
and the side fan is a 70x70x15mm
the other two smaller fans do almost nothing for the cooling power so I did not take their measurements.

Newer PS3s don't have USB ports in the back, only the front. This intercooler goes AROUND the connectors in the back, so it shouldn't obstruct anything.

how do you plug in the USB cables in the back with this intercooler?
