Ideal for a Playstation 3 FAT (older generation), this cooler is intended handy. For expelling hot air thus not disturbing the original internal fan, this is a good way to delay these evil YLOD and inadvertent overheating due to current intensive games. It additionally has several speeds and is not noisy. At full power it will do more or less as much noise as the internal fan of the console, but never more than your vacuum cleaner! It connects via USB to the PS3 and does not need any installation, it simply clips onto your console. However, I recommend small apprentice electricians to return these fans because they have been designed to expel air from the console and not cool by cold air, thereby disrupting the internal fan!
