The 360 version obtained it's power after it had been converted to DC through the external 360 power brick. In the case of the PS3, the power supply is inside the system, so the cooling solution only feeds off the AC from your wall outlet, and passes through energy to the PS3 internal power supply. This is the same as if it was plugged into a power strip that your PS3 was also pluged into. So, there is no way it will cause undue stress to the internal PS3 power supply. So, if you feel that you need to provide more cooling to your PS3 (honestly, have you seen the leaf-blower of a cpu cooler inside this thing?),  the Nyko's is a safe bet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2007 8:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nyko's PlayStation 3 Intercooler gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've had the Intercooler on my 360 for about eight months, after my original system got the red ring of doom and I had to send it in. It's incorrect to say that Nyko hasn't updated the design of the intercooler to fix problems, since they have. The orignial version had its own dedicated on/off switch, and it was this switch that caused the additional current flow which blew out some systems. The design that I have eliminated this switch, so the only power required is the power for the three 1.4 watt fans within the cooler. Since installing it, my 360 runs far cooler, and I haven't had a single crash or problem. That power supply is a beast, I think it can handle a few 1.4 watt fans.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shkolnick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2007 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nyko's PlayStation 3 Intercooler gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bought this thinking it was a great idea....<br><br>THIS IS A TERRIBLE PRODUCT!<br><br>Not even after having it hooked up for more than 2 minutes, I repackaged it and got my money back.<br><br>What they fail to inform you is that while the PS3 is off, the fans stay on.  The only way to turn off the fans is by hitting the main power switch in front.  The problem with this?  It removes a very nice feature - power on/off the console with your controller or remote control.<br><br>Also, with the fan speeds manually controlled, you would have to regularly check your PS3 to determine whether or not you need to increase the fan speeds.<br><br>What I have found, this device makes the PS3 require more physical attention than before.<br><br>The PS3 has built-in fans that seem to kick into high gear if your PS3 is getting too hot.  If by chance your PS3 reaches dangerous tempatures, it will automatically shutdown - so why do we need this?  WE DON'T.<br><br>FYI - Many rumors have been floating around that only those who have used the Intercoolers (especially with the pass-through power supplies) have a higher percentage of console failure rate.<br><br>STAY AWAY!  YOU DON'T NEED THIS!  IF YOU THINK YOU DO, THERE IS A BETTER PRODUCT OUT THERE.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nynja]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2007 10:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nyko's PlayStation 3 Intercooler gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[My country is very hot, but I don´t like Niko products...I prefer the Pelican cooler with automatic control and don´t plug into ac plug...it´s dangerous...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alberto HNA]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2007 12:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nyko's PlayStation 3 Intercooler gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Engadget and IGN are both under the false pretense that this thing draws power from the PS3's power supply, like 360's. Except one fact: the PS3's power supply is internal so Nyko has its own power supply from which it draws power. It simply shares the same power plug and cord. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2007 1:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nyko's PlayStation 3 Intercooler gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/nykos-playstation-3-intercooler-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[My @home will freeze every once in a while, but i think it is from Dust & Cat hair getting sucked into my system.
