This review is for the Nyko Intercooler for the Playstation 3. You can get it at Walmart, Gamestop, Eb Games, etc. for $29.99usd.

Quality

This product looks and feels much more durable than its 360 counterpart. It sports a nice glossy finish just like the PS3 has. The cooler is a 2 piece add-on that covers the back and the right side of the PS3. The fan also has 5 fans that can be adjusted to the speed you desire with the speed adjuster knob on the front. It also includes a nice power button directly above the adjuster.

Value

I have been testing the cooler while running Folding@Home and I can already tell a huge difference. The air coming out of the system is much much cooler than stock. The fans are pulling the air out before it even heats up. All 5 fans at full speed are still more quiet than a stock Xbox 360.

Overall

I am rating this cooler a 9/10 for the moment because I just cant seem to find anything really wrong with this attatchment. I really like the ability to adjust the fan speed and the cooler itself doesnt look bad at all. Does the PS3 need this cooler? Maybe not but I feel a lot better having this thing on while folding.

Folding@Home.. its a program to aid scientific research. Google it ;)
I might pick one of these coolers up once they become available in the UK, I'm scared leaving my PS3 on while I'm not around incase it melts lol.

Does it use the PS3 internal PSU power? Or does it connect external

It plugs in back directly to the PSU port.
