I was hoping of buying this cooling fan: You must login or register to view this content. (if this is advertising I'm really sorry)

But I've heard that the xbox 360 cooling fans just heat it up even more

Is this true with the PS3?

My PS3 sometimes when I'm playing it heats up my room really badly and gets extremely hot to touch and starts whirring loudly, it did this pretty much from the start

The cooling fan looks like it's quite good quality, and i have a 60gb so don't warn me that it won't work

Are there any cooling fans that you have used and you would recommend?

Thanks,

P.S. I keep my PS3 verticaly up so the place where the air comes out of goes away from the playstation, it is about 30cm away from the wall, and i almost always have my window open when playing

if it gets hot then just stack some game boxes under your ps3 and voila.

I have a cooling fan on my PS3, it's a big thing that hugs the side of your PS3 with 3 fans. It cools your PS3, but pushes the hot air out, so keep it in an open space!

Well , I got a (good) ps3 cooling fan , it does it's works perfectly , I won't recommend you buying that for 5 $ , mine costs 15 $ , now that's quality.
That's why my ps3 still didn't have the YLOD Smile
