We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Not bad per-say but useless. But I remember being on that worked decently with a base ps4
But, these new consoles are already so quiet, what's the point? You'd be better served just aiming a fan at the tiny cubby you've stuffed the console into
Holy shit, these things are the dumbest things in the world.
One of them blows air into the exhaust (thus blocking the place that hot air is supposed to be coming out of) and the other blows are into the solid base of the console. The solid base. Where there is no air intake.
Fucking hell.

I used to have one of those for PS4 long ago. It actually overheated the console and made it automatically switched to rest mode, though there's no overheat warning screen that says "The PS4 is too hot".
If I don't use it, then my console never did that. So, that kind of fan is no use at all.

The PS3 one significantly helped my OG fat PS3,
multiple games would make it overheat but never did with the add-on.
The makers of base fan probably assumed it was going to be similar to the PS4 systems which, I believe, all 3 versions had their air intake from the sides.
Ironically, that's on the one that blows air into the base. It fails to either cool or heat the console lol
All aftermarket cooling for consoles is silly. It's funny as hell that this one is actually actively harmful.
This stuff has always been very hit or miss. In a majority of cases they're not really needed.
BUT
Back on the wii, my system had fallen and the fan stopped working. Meaning the Wii would shut off after about an hour of play. At first I used a fan to blow into it to keep it cool. Got a nyko wii inter cooler and the wii has been just fine ever since.
A very particular use, but it did technically do what it said it would.

I'm open to licensing my design out :)
You can tell they're Noctua fans because they're ugly.
I have a Noctua fan modded fat PS2 and Dreamcast. :)
I'm confused as to why this product exists. I haven't heard the PS5's fan once since I've purchased it.
Was it 360 or PS3 intercoolers that could damage console?
Edit: it looks like it were 360 ones.
Why would I need that? The problem with the PS5 is not that the fan spins up more often when it gets hotter or with certain games, that's a last gen problem, like we know how it was on PS4.
The problem with PS5 is that it has a relatively loud ground/base noise that's always there. Plus coile whine + disc drive spinning up every 40 minutes.

The concept of this doing the exact opposite as intended reminds me of when mythbusters accidentally made a fridge by combining four microwave components together.
doors are closed so you can't see them but yes :) as much as I love them, I'm really looking forward to chromax versions of the ones that go on the U12A now that you can't easily buy a PC without a big glass window.
