The Intercooler for PS3 is a high efficiency, snap-on cooling device for your PS3. It uses 3 fans to increase air flow, reducing heat to promote better performance for your PS3. It snaps onto the console&fits easily inside your entertainment center in a horizontal or vertical position. The Intercooler turns on and off automatically, in conjunction with the PS3 system.
REVIEW
Good Concept, Questionable Quality This product pushes more air into the unit and you can actually feel the hot air being pushed out and away through the back of the unit. An intercooler is especially important if you have the PS3 in an enclosed area such as a wall unit. The installation is easy, no tools required, simply align and push into place. The design compliments the PS3, it puts the power button in front of the unit and it has a knob to adjust the speed of the fans. This unit does increase the noise level but after a couple of days I got used to it and it's a non-factor. As you know, when you turn off the PS3, the PS3 fan also turns off; however, the intercooler fans keep running until you turn off the power button. Once I turn off the PS3, I leave the intercooler running for acouple of minutes to allow it to completely cool down the PS3.
The only reason that I did not give this intercooler a higher rating is because I have only had it for two weeks and already at startup it's making an unusual high level of noise, like if the fan(s) are stuck. I have to turn it off and on, adjusting the fan speed until it begins working (sounding) normal. At this time I do not know how long the intercooler will last...
