(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just picked a used ps3 up at gamestop, it's in VERY good condition, 3.42 firmware, no scratches runs SUPER QUITE, the only thing is it seems to run a bit warm, where my second gen ps3 runs loud but very cool.
1st gen is FAT 60gig 2nd gen is FAT 80gig.

Should i consider buying a fan cooling system?

I seriously don't want to take it back, its a 3.42, plays ps2 , ps1 games 4 usb ports and that door with the bullshit under it. And the condition that it's in is amazing so to find one like this again is next to none.

Yes i would strongly consider buying a cooling fan. I used to have a 1st gen 60gig but it over heated and some parts melted so now i dont. Buy one while you can. (tho yours may not be as extreme as mine was)

It's not so much as it's hot air, but i can defiantly feel the difference you know? you can feel it. I ran my 80 and my 60 side by side for 5 minutes and the 80 ran cold where the 50 blew warm / hot air. Do you think i can mod the fan to make it run faster?

My old, orignal, ps3 i got in 2006 when i was 12 started warming up a little less then a year ago, Instead of buying a cooling fan for it, i used all my money on "Other things" Just kidding, i used it to buy pedals for my guitar. My fat PS3 is now in my attic, broken completely. I'd buy a cooling fan, like right now.

I suppose you could look around for maybe a tutorial to help. But if you dont find one i'd defiantly buy a cooling fan even if its minor. Because if your worrying about it's good to take precautions.
-And i agree with Nascar, you should buy a fan.

Thanks for the advice i will buy one ASAP. It runs warm and i smell wires. Shopping now, if you have any suggested links please post ;p.

I'll help you look if you want?
