Just come back from GAME, I was offered a PS3 external fan that's on offer to help cool the machine. Is this a gimmick or should I be worried?

I do notice it warms up quicker than any other kit I've got, but also read that Folding Home have some on around the clock without adverse affect.



What do you think?

As far as I know there are no known unusual failures on the PS3 due to lack of cooling so I am not worried about it. The trend does seem to have started with all the problems associated with the XBOX 360 and overheating.

Sometimes my PS3 is on for 8 or 10 hours folding, next to a PC, Printer and 360, and nothing wrong.



Its a launch model by the way, and yes, external fans are a gimmick.
