My question is....does anyone know of any replacement fans or better ones perhaps for the ps3? i have a slim model. also last the fan i bought was working, the ps3 would freeze on start up and didnt even say it was over heating just before it finally stopped working on me....so if theres something to fix that id really appreciate to know.
Well thats my story for now, any links even would be greatly appreciated.
Peace!
If ps3 stops working on start thats Overheating So I would recommend 2 things.
1. Buy a New fan with the same ps3 modelyou can find that on ebay.
2. Reball your ps3 so you fix the overheating problem
For me I fixed the ps3 problem heating by Installing a watercooling unit on it. That pretty much fixed my ps3 overheating problem at all times.
But you will need to pay too much for watercooling on a ps3 if you want its link Tell me ill send it over.
