 - Good Concept, Questionable QualityThis 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 a couple 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... Rating:  - PS3 IntercoolerI love Intercoolers. Have one for My XBox 360. Works great. This one though. Well it seems well engineered and also seems to do well. The problem is well whats the deal with it not being compatible with the 40 gigabyte model. ARE YOU SERIOUS. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME EXACT DESIGN! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE 2 USB PORTS INSTEAD OF 4 AND THE LITTLE DOOR IN THE FRONT! NO MODEL DIFFERENCES AT ALL. NEXT THEY WILL HAVE CERTAIN GAMES THAT WILL ONLY BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE 80 ANS 60 GIGABYTE MODELS. O COOL SOUL CALIBER 4. WAIT LOOK WHAT IT SAYS ON THE CASE. "ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE 80 GIGABYTE PLAYSTATION 3. SO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T CHOOSE TO SPEND THE EXTRA $100 OR $200 TO BAD. YOU DON'T GET TO ENJOY THIS GAME." MY RATINGS FOR PLAYSTATION IN GENERAL HAS GONE DOWN A GREAT PERCENTAGE. SORRY PS3 BUT YOUR RATING. 2 THUMBS DOWN AND STOP. THE NEWER THE PRODUCTS AND MORE ADVANCED YOU VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS GET THE WORSE AND MORE UNSTABLE THEY BECOME. I TAKE THAT 1 STAR AWAY Rating: - Do not fit the systemI purchase and when I get to install it, all the connections in the back are covered by the Intercooler.....That's really lame.....I strongly suggest the guys at Nyko to redesign their product. I am forced to send it back for refund. Rating: - JunkHere I was thinking I was going to be "protecting my investment" blah blah blah, yet I seriously think that the stupid thing was causing more harm than good! Besides being noisy, I think that it was causing more heat problems by covering up the original vents and not allowing them to function as intended! This thing didn't stay long on my system. It now sits at the top of my junk collection pile, gathering dust. You are not really likely to need this anyway. Save your money. Rating:  - Great cooling, some noiseIt does a great job of cooling the system, especially after the playstation 3 has powered down! Lots of heat for a while after shutdown. After a few weeks of using it, I got some fan noise, but I can live with it.
