Building the Ultimate PS3 (Backwards Compatible) - De-lid CPU/GPU, 19-Blade Fan, Fan Mod, Case Mod.

Video Description

Long live the PlayStation 3! Previously I made the case that you should pick up a backwards compatible model, and now I'm gonna show you how to properly maintain one and make sure it stays reliable for years to come. That will include de-lidding the Cell and RSX, installing a new fan, new power supply (if applicable) new thermal pads, a fan control switch, drilling holes into the case, and general clean up. This is the ultimate PS3, and I'm in love. (Standby for wedding invites. Only friends & family, sorry everyone).
