im in the process of repairing a newly YLODed PS3 and was wondering if putting an external fan just outside its intake vent or outlet vent (to suck hot air out) will make it last longer? It makes sence to me but i wouldnt know if it willactually going to work. Has anyone attempted such thing bfore?

i was also thinking about taking the vents and replacing the plastic mesh with a finer mesh threding which will still have the same size for every square but since the threading its finer there will be more airflow. So this along with the fan should help it run cooler. PLZ qive me opinins bcuz as the re flow date comes closer i want to be as clear as possible.8)

fudge it, ill do it. ill put a fan blowing air into the intake vent from a reasonable distance, cut out hose plastic mesh vent and replace them w/ a thinner one.
