INTERCOOLERs how well do they work ? ( PS3)

[mikezilla2]

iv got a 60gb pal model PS3 that just ylod the other day , this isnt for the mod but i was wondering just how well the intercoolers work ? or if there's something better that doesn't involve mod ( IE opening or cutting holes)

Well, since you have the yLoD...

You have two options


1) Call Sony who will take it for repair and charge you $250 AUS (So I think $150 US - dunno)
2) Open it up and re-flow it yourself


Number two is of course far more better.

All you need is a Heat Gun, Flux and Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste (Not Silicon. you want top-quality)


If you can't / do not have these parts, I am available for Commission to help you out, as at the momment I am re-flowing one for a friend at school (As seen below)







A very good guide is one by Gilksky on Youtube. He knows what he is talking about...

Watch one by one to see how you do it.


Thanks and Good Luck if you go ahead and fix it!
