PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING.
By Vic
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1R607G2V4SDJY So when i got my original fat (fully backward compatible) 60GB PS3, i was really worried about the dreaded YLOD due to overheating. So i was looking for cooling fans to help keep it cool, and i found this fan for a really good price. The fan fits the console perfectly, and goes on and off without a problem. However after using if for about 40 minutes, i heard the system's fan pick up speed, and that only happens when its getting hot. Shocked to hear the fan, (considering it was midnight and the temperature was 68 degrees) i moved it closer to my window fan. 20 mins later, i still heard the fan at the same speed, and volume. So then i got worried and i was going to stop playing, so i paused the game to take THIS cooling usb fan off of the console to put the system away... (I really take care of my PS3 considering the model) but as i was putting the usb fan back in its box, not even a minute later, i hear the fan completely slow down as if the system had just been turned on for less than a minute.So after examining the console, i found out that the spot where the usb cooling fan is supposed to go, is another exhaust vent for the system aside from the one in the back. So what was happening was that the usb fan not only was blocking air from going out, but was also sending it back into the system. With that said, this usb fan is really not what people should buy if they want to keep their system cool. The fan at the top of the system is the only fan that keeps the system cool, and there for you should consider purchasing fans that attach to the top of the system to blow air in, or the fan that attaches to the back which pulls air out because fans that go in the fron will only restrict air ventilation. From a gamer to another, im just trying to help you keep your original FAT PS3 alive and well. =)

Supplement, not a solution
By Paul Tigno
This fan is really meant for launch 60gb model version PS3's or other early launch PS3 models with the vented grill profile. Other reviews stated not fitting correctly is due to using this fan on the later model PS3's. Product description should have been more clear. Product does fit on my 60gb model and works great. It is flush with the shape and is aesthetically nice. You need to understand this fan forces more air in the console and not out. So really, this assists the primary internal cooling fan to move more air in and then out of the system. All of these after market fans true contribution to cooling the system in some way either pull air out or, like this fan, push air in supplementing the primary fan. NO fan will help completely save these early model game consoles from its eminent death from heat, just help prolong the inevitable. I use the fan with my system sitting vertical. The vent being on top will assist the hot air to rise up and out of the console. Horizontal won't help evacuate the heat. A plus about the fan is that it is powered via usb and so I don't need to walk over and shut the fan off separately or fiddle with a power adapter to accommodate for. I wish it had a temperature sensor so it would keep cooling the system when powered down but this would defeat the purpose of the usb plug.If you ever get the yellow blinking hardware failure light of death because your PS3 is fried, there is a solution to fixing your PS3 on youtube but you would need to be technically savoy to repair it yourself if the warranty has expired, or pay sony the big bucks to fix it. Point is, don't throw away your PS3! They are and always will be a fantastic piece of sophisticated electronics.

Decent Fan
By Jayson Perry
The fan installed easily and is held in place securely. There are a couple nubs on the top side that need to be placed into the air openings on the P3 case. Make the connection at the USB port then squeeze the case (top to bottom) near the nubs and push forward slightly, they will slide right into the air vents. The fan does move air fairly well, you can tell by placing your hand on the side of the unit, where the air is being blown out. This unit does draw air from the bottom side (when mounted horizontally), so I found by hanging it over the edge of my shelf it moves a little more air. I also like the fact that the unit turns itself on & off with the P3 system and if you don't want it on at all the power button is right on the front. The fans are a bit loud but what can you expect from 4 small PC fans
