PS3 Fan MOD

- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Hello gang I have created another guide on making your own customized fan modification onto your PS3 slim model. What this modification does is that it allows a cool airflow and passage to avoid any overheating on the CPU and GPU (RSX).
The 1st part is creating a front circle opening so it can allow the airflow to pass through the internal PS3 fan. Then we will add a dust filter and 120mm fan filter on the front of that opening.
The 2nd part is disassembling the PS3 slim to gain access of the back compartment. So we can create another circular opening, add a dust filter and a 120mm computer fan to cool off the CPU and GPU.
Please take your time and patience in doing this, I am not held responsible if you damage your PS3. This modification is done on a PS3 slim model. The reason why I created this guide is because I did have 2 ps3 systems fail on me in the past because of overheating issues.

It feels good to watch a full video without ads.🥰keep up the good work my man🤙
Thanks man😊 Glad to help out the community ✌️
Today i did this with a PS3 Slim , it worked perfectly , the internal fan was so loud while playing and with the added fan it stopped being noisy. Thx for the tutorial :D
That's awesome dude! I'm glad that the guide help😊 Now your PS3 is well ventilated and won't have any overheating issues👍
Bro my ps3 over heats like a m***** f***** right now. I’ve looked all over and you are the only one with a decent solution! I’m going to order my parts tomorrow and install
Exactly the reason why I did this. The CPU/GPU does overheat on certain games including emulating PS2 titles as well. Take your time with the procedure 👍
A church gave me an Xbox 360 that is flashing me the RROD so im going to add in some intake fans, better thermal paste, and maybe just some better air ports for intake. Just ordered the parts for the ps. Enjoyed your video
@@swankscabinet1625 Sweeeeeet😁
there is an easier mod that I think would be better.
I might do this to my PS3 even though it never overheats and I take good care of it, you know, for fun.
Mine came from my uncle that’s had it FOREVER and never took it to a cleaner so I spent an hour working on it and it still over heats. Added a new layer of thermal paste and d*** thing still won’t work. Looked at it again and airflow in it is terrible so botta boom botta bang I ordered the parts and will do this to fix it all up.
@@swankscabinet1625 how did it go?
@@Alteredimensions it runs like a champ now. No problems with overheating.
@@swankscabinet1625 nice man! I bought a CECHC03 60GB the other day and after using it for a couple of days I took it apart fully even delided the IHS plates, just gotta wait for my thermal paste to arrive 😏 artic silver 5 for under the IHS and mx4 for on top xD also need to find the better fan that only produces 1.75A instead of almost 3with the original fan haha also might put some holes in the back and think about installing a fan on the front
@@Alteredimensions nice bro. Hope it all goes well and tbh, I don’t understand why you would want much else because it’s a great machine. Minus no 4K it’s very very practical now a days.
I put my PS3 Super Slim on top of a cookie rack / baking rack so air will circulate underneath the console. It's a little more cooler now!
😁
This is the very best diy fan mod of ps3 slim i ever found. Now im seeking for ps3 fat fan mod
Thank you 😊
Maybe finally I'm going to be able to take out my ps3 from freezer during playing. Thx for this video bro. I'm going to order all the parts asap.
🤣🤣🤣 That's funny.
Liked your mod man, its well explained and gave me some more ideias from seeing this video, thank you!!
Thank you MCanha much appreciate it 👍
You could've just hit any 12v power pad on VCC+ or even the supply line. Jus saying and then no wires. Personally I'd also use the fans data line as well with the consoles so it will turn off when the system doesn't require additional cooling. Jus me though man, not trolling. This was an excellent video, you did well. 🤘😎
Thank you, good to know👍
when you drill a hole above the fan it prevents the Blue ray from being adequately cooled and thus the drive and disc will run hotter . The motherboard and power supply will perform better though. You will really need the additional fan if you plan on cutting the top. I would like to have seen before and after tests.
I might just make a whole custom mesh case for the PS3, and see how that goes and try to liquid metal it, really hope it works out.
Cool👍
Where did you buy air filter, are there any in pc shops or services?
I posted it on the description. You could purchase it at any computer shop.
I suppose the original cooling fan sucks air from its both sides (Top and bottom). Even if it can suck air directly from outside after the mod, it still tend to suck air from its bottom (Motherboard side). In this case, will it be better to make the extra fan you installed suck air into the console, instead of pushing air out. IN this case, the extra cool air from outside will further build up the pressure with in the console, which not only supply enough air for original fan, but can also carry the motherboard heat out of the shell via side vents.
Good to know. Thank you for that clear description. I greatly appreciate that.
i got 3 like that ..it WORKS 40% cooler no need for the back fan just make holes the main fan will suck air in anyhow
Sweet👍
so only the holes on the top cover will reduce the temps 40%? will it run quieter too?
@@Serso70 that fan will since it will have an easier time cooling the system
You don't want to blow air into the unit you want to run a fan sucking the air out of the unit all you're going to be doing by blowing air in is not cold air you're just circulating the heat and moving around dust on the motherboard if anything you run two smaller fans one in one out or a bigger fan sucking heat out that's allowing the natural vents of the system to move better air flow never blow heat on top of heat on electronics.
Loved the video I did my PS3 fan with this video and I added some spice and rigged a strip led light on the top case but be careful to not place the led by the power supply they will be squished and cause a short bit either than that great video just forgot to tell people to make sure to have drill bits to make the screw holes I also used them to makes rectangle square for the led light USB port I really like how it came out even though it was of centered and I can use a little more LED lol really good tutorial
Thank you, much appreciated 😊. Would definitely like to see a video guide on the led setup✌️
Wouldn't it be better to find a 5volt line inside the PS3 to power the fan rather than using an external power supply? or if the top fan runs on 5 volts then you could solder the wires on to that to power the bottom fan.
Didn't know that there was a way to do that. You have a guide on that. I'd be interested 😊
Tips & Tricksss could you elaborate please? I don’t understand. I’m Curious.
@@denzellupheng7063 You need some knowledge of electronics to be able to do it, you'll also need a multi meter and a soldering iron.
USB is 5v, you can just connect the + and - wires to a USB plug and connect it to one of the PS3 ports, when the console turns on so does the fan.
can you please show me how did you turn on the fan,i mean how did you wire the cable to the fan?
I did the same thing but on xb360. And would fix RRoD, up 18 of them as a hobby. But ya lost it all in the divorce. But cool to see more inspiration from other like minded gents.
how does this even work
the ps3 fan is a blower fan with a shroud that guides the heat from the cpu and gpu to the rear exhaust. at most i can see this taking out some other latent heat in the system but the bulk of it is trapped in the shroud or being blown out the back
Are those cutting blades backwards on that drill attachment? Would have had an easier time with a hole saw. Also those acrylic pieces are fan grills not filters. Either way still informative.
Your videos are the best!
Thank you Black Cherubim! I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad that my guides help out people 😊
Man you have a great voice for a Rockband🖐️😅
Kickass!😁 Let's go heavy metal🤘
How is temp now on your ps3 ? I us have 1fan on the top ps3
Man, I'd buy a console from you haha.
I'm on a hunt on eBay right now for a PS3 like a A01, and or E01. Trying to do as much research as I can to find which one is worth it.
2004 slims or 2100 r shit fan but 2501 have high fan and very loud and good for cooling it's so different
That's good to know. So far my system is good 👍
the filters confuse me, the filters are usually used for intake but you've got them all over the exhaust? lol
top fan is an intake
Why did'nt you splice the power & ground wires of the fan, with one of the internal power cords in the system so there's no wire sticking out?
Didn't know how to do that. Do you have a pdf in where to splice and do this? Would be happy to know.
Past 2 year since you upload the video...it's still working nowdays?
Yep👍 It's still kicking it😁 Everything is still working well.
Cool man...get going to upload your machine still kicking😁
@@andie660 yeah I gave that model to my brother. He's telling me it's still working fine. I have a similar slim model with the front vent opening, but not with the external fan built and that's even working just fine.
I want to know if I only do it on the top and not on the bottom is it ok?
I, too, would like to see a short follow up video on your temperatures during idle and gaming and maybe general tasks
Ok fair enough. It has been months since I did this
Hello! I want to do a mod like this on my super slim. Was woundering if I could somehow hook the exhaust fan to the PlayStation's fan or somewhere in the powersupply? Great vid by the way!
Thank you 😊. You know that's a good question. I've never done a build like that on the super slim.
@@Bubsy_Mods I think I am going to play it safe and use a 5V USB fan. I'm also thinking of improvising something by the air exhaust from the psu, that's on the side, to somehow get the warm air quicker out. Hope this will make some difference in the temps.
@@TheoDJ23 Absolutely 👍 I would definitely like to see your work as well😊
@@Bubsy_Mods I found a 220v to 12v DC trafo laying around. I will do the fans like this at the end. This is also better because I will not put any extra stress on the psu and I can use a fan controller as well.
Mantab bung, it's so cool & simple, no mall fungtion
Indeed 👍
That is really cool! Does this make the ps3 quieter?
Been going good for over 3 years and quiet as well😊
Hi Bubsy, i have copied your psp battery mod and working well. And i want to copy this PS3 Slim mod, but i have a question for you: have you tried to drive the extra fan using the same power source of the original fan? and then we don't need addition external power supply to drive the addition fan ^_^, i hope this will work without breaking the fan PWM module.
I've seen some people do that. But I wanted to make it easy for novice users. I'm glad the PSP battery mod worked for ya👍
@@Bubsy_Mods o i see..
That's mean i can proceed to do that, so thank you very much for your information :)
From fat to slim to ultra slim to fat again lol
LOL! Right on🤟🤟🤟
Доброго времени суток! Посмотрел ваше видео, мне понравилось. У меня ps3 slim 3008. Сделано отверстие под основной кулер сверху ( через которое консоль глотает свежий воздух) и снизу тоже есть дренажные отверстия для отвода тепла. + консоль стоит на подставке охлаждения (800 оборотов/минуту) консоль работает крайне тихо. При нагрузке в играх температура в rsx выше 60 градусов не поднимается. Только вот я пока эксперементирую с дренажным отверстием снизу консоли, лучше вытягивать тёплый воздух от процессора или наоборот чтобы втягивал прохладный воздух в консоль🤔
can you use a USB fan?
Yep! Absolutely 👍 and also plug it into one the PS3 USB ports.
@@Bubsy_Mods can you control this USB fan with webman?
@@altairps3HFW unfortunately webman only controls the internal fan.
@@Bubsy_Mods what if I change intental fan with custom one?
@@altairps3HFW that should work 👍
I was thinking of drilling holes into the side of the PS3 lid too for more air flow. is that a good idea or bad idea
I remember doing that on my phat PS3. That works too👍
@@Bubsy_Mods Alright, radical! I'll do that as well as the holes over the fan for even more air flow
@@Bubsy_Mods Also what if the hot glue remelts? I live in mega hot Texas and that happened once in my garage
@@GoldenFenrir well your PS3 needs to be in a cool area and we'll ventilated no matter what.
Will this same process work with a fat ps3? If not would you mind making a walkthrough on how to do it on one? I am having serious overheating problems i just re applied new thermal paste and it would help me a ton.
The fat PS3 was a heat machine. You could do this similar mod and it could help slightly. I wish Sony soldered the CPU and GPU with lead balls to endure the heat on the fat models.
@@Bubsy_Mods it might not be worth it in otherwords?
@@xxsh1ro149 in other words the venting and the fan could help the system cool down with some ventilation. At least it could push that heat out.
@@Bubsy_Mods oh okay will the process be the same for the fat ps3s?
How are you powering the front fan are you rideing off the power Supply
Front fan is the internal ps3 fan. The fan on the bottom is the external fan in which there are 2 options to connect via ac adapter or usb connection and connect it to one of the usb ports on the ps3.
@@Bubsy_Mods Hi I'm talking about where you made the whole in the front of the playstation
@@joe6699 that is its own internal fan. I just did the front opening so that the air flow could fluctuate better.
Boa Ideia!
I connected mine straight to the power supply CFW controlled both fans no wires looking all silly
Hey I only made it to simplify the project for individual's that aren't tech savvy. If you want, post and share a video guide on how you went about it.
thi actually isnt a bad design except for the stock fan mod its a push pull so if you cut a hole it kinda ruins it but the bottom fan is unique
Would you recommend doing this with 2 exhaust fans or just 1??
It's all up to you👍
@@Bubsy_Mods jw if it would help with airflow or not
@@gregymcfarland1916 it does improve considering how warm your room is even during the hot summer days that come along. Also another reason why I did it was the PS3 had the yellow light of death in the past and the last thing you want to do is reballing the GPU & CPU which is a tedious process.
@@Bubsy_Mods yeah I definitely don't have the tools to do that, appreciate ur help man🙏👍
I'll prob just do 1 intake fan on top and 1 exhaust fan on the bottom
You should put the dust filters on the outside. Be Easier to clean them.
You're right. It was one those earlier mods I did to ventilate the system better.
How's the maintenance? Cleaning wise especially
It's been good so far. Sometimes I clean it with a vacuum, every 5 or 6 months. Depends on usage too.
@Xen0N dust is around us. If you wait around a week, your furniture collects dust. What do you do? You clean it. Same analogy for cleaning your PS3😉
The other purpose for this is also when on cfw and your running ps2 titles the PS3 kinda overworks the CPU/GPU. Believe me I've seen the difference.
@@Bubsy_Mods do you put thermal pads on a CPU GPU?
@@aztecgladiator13 that is correct. I've added paste and pads as well.
nice video men
Thanks again 👍
Gotta try this with a watercooler
That is awesome 👍 I would love to see your guide. I always wanted to do that😊
If you live in nyc anyway I can pay you to do this to my PS3?
Thank you DJ AG. Honestly I do this when I have free time. Usually I am busy with work and other priorities. The only reason I do these tutorials are for educational purposes and help the user end.
❤❤❤
Mate, were you drilling in reverse?
Yeah the blades were switched around 😂
@@Bubsy_Mods haha
I wouldn't mind doing this if I had a second PS3 slim shell to mess around and probably mess up on.
If you only do the top one will it also help
That is also fine👍
why would you filter the air out of the PS3? to keep the dust in and block the filter? It's completely illogical, only a grill on the FAN and that would be perfect...
As you can see in the video in the front of the console I've put a dust filter and under the console I put the fan as an exhaust to get the heat out better. Opening of the front of the console allows the cool air to get in better and push out underneath. To each their own choice whether if you want to do the bottom portion or not.
Take your time and look under your ps3 slim you'll see small openings around the console. I did this to let out the heat better.
@@Bubsy_Mods putting a filter on the exhaust will reduce airflow in time once it gets clogged up...let the lints go their way...you will see in time, who's been doing or seen this a lot...knows...making better sucktion pressure/vacum will generate a better airflow...restricting the exhaust and it getting collged eventually is not easy as you have to dismantle the PS3 again to clear it, it's easier to vacuum clean it weekely at the intake...anyway...look it up...
@@dj.luckyjulianojulio3350 Dust is all around us and yes cleaning and/or vacuuming is a must! Only reason I did this is to avoid overheating issues that is common on the PS3.
@@Bubsy_Mods mate I agree dust is all around, I myself will do almost the same procedure to 5 PS3s but that filter on th3 exhaust is not ok, just look at any of your PC fans...do they have a filter on the exhaust?...anyway...everyone is free to do things as they think is best...my point...was that filter will only create the same problem you want to salve by your mod...just look it up...
@@Bubsy_Mods If the bottom fan is sucking air out of the ps3 then you don't need the filter on the bottom
This is an amazing outstanding work i love it but if i were you i would not put a fan under it just one is good on top but other than that i love it
Thanks man, I appreciate it 😊. I did the bottom portion of the fan as a secondary cooling option just in case after seeing my phat PS3 die from the YLOD.
Bubsy if you want you can try the fix I had to do to the Xbox to get it to even start which took me a sticking in the oven for a couple of minutes to burn off the bad stuff on the hardware. It started back up just fine but it still had the heating problem inside so I’m working on that next. I’m not saying you should do this unless you decide you really want the phat ps back. Don’t sue me if it doesn’t work thank you! Also this was my other Xbox not the church one
modded PS3 40% fan speed all the time + sanded heat block never goes over 50 deg. even after 12h of gaming if i remove the top cover temps drop into the 40 so fan on the back is not need just mod your ps3
Wish i see this tutorial in 2014 because my ps3 slim got ylod from call of duty 4 and i could not repair it since then 😭
That sucks man. Sorry to hear that
Lol easy reball cpu and u r good I bought machine ir6500 it cost 500$ go work in it
@@Toqhy not everyone has the experience and patience to reball the CPU and GPU. I've seen people do it and have the skill set. Plus paying $500 for those machines is for some people a luxury
@@Bubsy_Mods if u need money I don't care I will PayPal u them money comes and goes I'm not saying that ur poor or anything I work for my money and if u need I'm down to give u 1k now
@@Toqhy I appreciate it bro. But the statement wasn't for me it is for the others who don't have the budget or the experience of reballing a system. This is why I made this tutorial for novice users.
Dude, 666 likes, i have to like this video to become 667
😂😂😂
So that's why sometimes my PS3 is going back in the main menu because it's heating
i guess
Is that usb fan
Anyone else notice he's using a left hand cutter with a right hand bit
Not the best thing to do now the psu isn’t getting much cooling as it was
Thanks for the feedback, but the system is still holding great 😃
@@Bubsy_Mods yeah it will work np the cpu and gpu are getting cold nice but keep in mind doing a mod to cool the psu and bd if you are using it would be better
is your ps3 working or its died
but not for the greece ?
Seriously don’t do this. If your slim is hot, open it up, clean it out and apply new thermal paste.
There are other components that heat up inside the PS3.
1. is the nec toking capacitors and they blow out.
2. the power supply is also inside the system which causes build up of heat.
3. the heating factor from the CPU and GPU chipsets.
You may think the thermal paste might help, which it does to an extent but I still lost 2 systems and this customization has lasted me for a while and the system is still kicking.
I wish I have this
Trank UA-cam Brazil!!!
Obrigada bro😊
