    Hey people... I have PS3 SLIM and ps3 jailbreak. They rocks!

    What is the best cooling fan product for the PS3 ? Or I dont need to worry about it ? I've just purchased my PS3 Slim about 2 months ago at PAWN shop and its great. Should I buy one of those?

    Mega Power Mini Cooling System
    Whisper Fan
    Intercooler TS
    PS3 Cooling fan

    Also, someone told me about a Gamestop manager warned someone about using cooling fans that go on the vents and chasis since he thinks they actually hinder airflow. He suggested a cooling fan that goes on the bottom of the ps3 instead.

    For once, a Gamestop employee was actually right.

    The cooling in the slim is more than adequate, just make sure you give plenty of space around the unit to take in and exhaust air, don't place it on a carpet, on top of any other device that gets warm etc.

    you dont need one

    the cooling in the ps3 has been calculated and testet
    the eraly versions like the 60gb hat some heat issues but the slims models are far better

    and sony is not M$ to bring out a console with a crappy cooling system
