The PS3 Cooling Stand is doing what he should do. He holds the PS3 Standfest in a horizontal position. In addition, the PS3 stand still has a blue illuminated ring. However, this does not light throughout equally. This of course is still the additional fan, which cools only slightly in my opinion. But alone the fact that the PS3 may be, the motherboard is the CPU and the RSX graphics chip "free". This really can be radiated into the air a lot of heat, which brings with it a imense cooling. Previously, this area was really hot and the playing time after a half an hour, which caused really worry me .... but now, even after several hours of play, it is lukewarm. But what disturbs something that is that one of the two USB ports eliminated by the stand. Besides, my stand was mittelmäßg scratched to Stark. But what mainly stands out in the light. It can generally be the stand but already also recommend in this price-performance ratio.
And now what about the people who think that you must not stand the PS3 Slim: Of course, one must stand the why not ?? The installed drive can be used in any position (for evidence simply googling times). And on the electronics of the position change has no effect (is also logical) And yes: The manual says man should stand the PS3 horizontal and not vertical. However, this applies only on when no PS3 stand invariably can the PS3 else is too shaky and can drop, which can lead to damage.
