What Causes The Yellow Light Of Death (YLOD)?
Heat. We all know that the Playstation 3 runs extremely hot. Normally the internal cooling fan is controlled by a temperature sensor – as the system gets warmer, the system fan speeds up – and when the system cools down, the fan slows down. This sounds great – however, this constant fluctuation in temperature is what causes the internal components to fail over time. Eventually, the sensor loses it’s precision, and these fluctuations cause microscopic cracks in the solder joints. By using the PS3 ezChill, the cooling fan is set to one constant rate thus never letting the PS3 reach the high temperatures that cause these overheating issues.
Do I Need an ezChill?
If your PS3 has been repaired from YLOD failure, there is a 95% chance it will fail again within a year – unless you install the PS3 ezChill now! We have performed significant research into long term effects of using the PS3 ezChill and we have seen temperatures decrease an average of 20-30 degrees using a ~50% fan speed setting. This could literally be the difference between years rather than months of continued system operation! A cool PS3 not only helps prevent YLOD failure, but it also increases the lifetime of other critical components inside the PS3 – such as the Hard Drive, Power Supply and Blue Ray Drive and Laser!
Haven’t had any PS3 overheating issues (yet)?
Why take a chance? The PS3 ezChill can be installed as preventative maintenance to avoid ever having YLOD or other overheating problems. If your Sony one year warranty is over, you have nothing to lose! The PS3 ezChill is an inexpensive investment toward prolonging the life of your PS3 game console.
Enjoy your PS3 worry-free for years to come – for less than the cost of a single PS3 game!
Disclaimer: Opening your PS3 to perform installation will invalidate the warranty (Sony’s PS3 warranty is only one year – if you’re suffering from YLOD and overheating issues your PS3 is likely out of warranty already).
