I just had a PS3 die on me and I figured it was due to heat. So I looked extensively for a cooling fan that was reliable and easy to install. I discovered this one, the Intercooler TS by Nyko.

The cooler was a very simple to attach to the PS3. All you do is snap it to the back and that's it. Very simple. Most of the gripes I read about other coolers were about installation problems. You will not have this problem with this cooler.

Another positive about this cooler is that it runs on its own power source. No using limitied USB slots (depending on your PS3 system) to power the device. The fans run automatically depending on the temperature of the Playstation so you don't have to manually shut the cooler off. Big plus!

There are four fans that cool off the system. I have my PS3 located in an entertainment center. Before I installed the fans, you could feel the heat radiating from the system. Now, it's cooler. You still feel the heat coming from the top (when standing up), but you can feel cooler air coming from the back.

Now for the negatives. The fans are LOUD!!! Even on low they are significantly loud. Just so there is no confusion: The fans turn on and off automatically, but they don't adjust in the same fashion (another negative I'll get to in a minute). When set at the highest setting they are annoyingly loud. Playing a game or movie at a high volume drains the noise out a bit but it is still noticable.

Now for the adjustment nob; I thought it was a bit of an annoyance that the fans turn on and off automatically, but the fan speeds don't adjust in the same way. You have to do that on your own. It makes me a bit uneasy because I keep wondering do I have the fans up high enough to avoid overheating the Playstation. I don't want to keep the fans on high constantly because I feel it will wear the intercooler down faster. That's just me.

Overall I think the Intercooler TS works well. If you are having overheating issues with your Playstation 3, or you store it in a confined entertainment center, you seriously want to consider buying this device. Of all the devices on the market, I thought this was the better buy.

The Intercooler is a the perfect way to ensure that your PS3 stays cool during long game play or if your PS3 is in a poor/less desirable area which limits air.

I am currently deployed in Afganistan. I have been here for a few years and every summer worries me that this will be the year that will make my PS3 go Kaput!

I bought this cooler to give me the piece of mind that i need.

In short: It has

The Pros are:

It cools as promised

The intercooler has a customized fit for the PS3 so once it's on it's on

Once you power down your PS3 the intercooler continues to provide air until the PS3 has cooled down

The Cons:

A little on the noisey side but not even close to unbearable. If I had to describe it I would say the noise would be similar to a window AC unit several minutes after it has been turned on ie after the compressor has turned off.

In summary I would say this product is a buy/must have for anyone who is concerned about temperature or airflow to their PS3.

Buy Xbox 360 Intercooler TS Now

Let's begin by saying that I don't live in the U.S.

I thought I needed this because I have my PS3 located in a small entertainment center and I decided to give it a try. The design is really nice and the installation is pretty easy, but man this thing is extremely loud, nevermind the design and installation you will forget them pretty soon after you listen to this thing, and to make things even worst, after a couple of weeks what began as a really anoying BUZZZ now has turned into a CHAINSAW, so the best advice I can give you is to stay away from this cooler.

I'm sure that you can cover the noise if you turn the volume up but if a you are a late night player like me this is out of the question.

I don't really use to criticize products and I really wanted to like this but the best thing you can do is keep looking for another solution if you think you need a cooler for your PS3.

I got this on a weekend travel so I can't give it back.

You simply cannot afford not to own this Nyko Intercooler. I purchased my 60 Gig PS3 just over a year ago. It was used but had pretty low miles on it. I think it's previous owner played movies on it more than play games because there were only a couple of trophies in it's memory.

Of course it has had much use over the past year because it is just so much fun to play, and there are so many awesome games worth playing on it.

2 months ago it died! (THE PS3, THAT IS!)

I found a very reputable local source to repair it. I did not want to send it to SONY and have it's memory erased. It cost $90.00 to replace the laser. Not to expensive given the going repair prices from other sources.

Then a month later it died again. The guy who fixed it stands by his work and also gives a warranty on all work done. This time though it was the drive that died. My repair person told me the first time it died that i should get a NYKO INTERCOOLER to prevent the unit from not only overheating but to lengthen the life expectancy of my PS3. He mentioned to me when i picked the unit up from being repaired that he had never actually replaced a whole drive unit, and was amazed to see that the wires were just fried. It cost me $50.00 for a drive replacement.

As soon as i left his place i came home and immediately ordered the Intercooler based on his recommendation. He said it was the best. One of the things that make this Intercooler better than it's predecessor is that it has it's own power supply cord, (a 10 foot long one), so it does not steal power from the PS3. I did some research before purchasing it and came to the conclusion that the other fans on the market that plug into the USB port, simply are not powerful enough. The variable speed control is a nice touch also, but i just crank mine. Depending on where you live, or if you have central air conditioning, you can make the adjustments based on how warm your system is running.

My wife thinks the Intercooler runs a little loud, but i think it is fine. I do not really play my games on loud volume, but do find that now i turn them up a little bit to drown out the four fans on the Intercooler.

The bottom line is that repair costs for a PS3 are not cheap. For far less money, you can own one of these Nyko Intercoolers and protect your investment.

Nyko Intercooler TS is noisy, feels cheaply made and the way it attaches to the ps3 isn't as secure as you hope it is. The intercooler also makes unplugging an Ethernet cord from the ps3 a chore without removing the entire fan setup.

However, it does move a large amount of air out of the ps3 and will indeed keep your ps3 cooler for a little over $20 dollars.

Turn it on when your on an extended gaming session with a headset rocking and you won't hear it....Turn it off when your watching a movie or all you will hear during movie dialogue will be "WWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
