hwo fa ris it possible to overclock the psp? it would make alot more emulators accessible and with hgiher speeds if more homebrew devs made overclocking above 333 possible (none do right now), and with this we could egt higher fps.

# Erm,,,, — Guest 2006-03-24 22:46

Arent we comming from the wrong angle..... its probably for playing PSP on summer days and getting a nice breeze ¬_¬

# comment — Gutya 2006-03-24 22:52

Fro the looks of things its for cooling your hand.

# dirty — Guest 2006-03-24 22:54

its for the sweaty pervs watching there PSPorn lol

# I'm a dirty prev and I recommend this device! — Guest 2006-03-24 23:12

Actually... I kind of like that. It's keep your hands and PSP cool as you're playing your over clocked SNES emulator.

I like it.

# Cool — Guest 2006-03-24 23:20

now I wont need my fridge anymore

# Loonix 2006-03-24 23:26

hmm do i see this right. it has no plug for the mini-usb but an AC plug on top.

so when you use this it will eighter run on a battery or only if plugged :(

Also it will block your USB port and your UMD drive (is it a theft protection???)

also, it doesnt cool the sides of the PSP where Batterys or processor are...

This device is REALY VERY, VERY USEfull...

# I like it. — Guest 2006-03-24 23:53

I got one not to far back & I really noticed an increase in my battery life when playing for extended periods. I figured it was because the PSP stayed cooler.

i wouldnt get it cos it blows air (and dust) into the umd slot.

# Summertime cooling — insa8ne2k4 2006-03-25 00:15

is there a way to turn it around so i can use it as a fan to cool me down in the summer

# D: — Guest 2006-03-25 00:37

Yeah man thats quite simple dude >.> just screw it open and invert the usb stick thingy....if you did that the psp fan would blow the other way

near your tummy or crotch or whatever way your holding your psp at >.>

# . — Guest 2006-03-25 00:59

It can give a good blow job.

# OH MY GOD HOW CRAPPY THIS SITE IS. — Guest 2006-03-25 01:17

Please post real news, anyone cares about. And by the way, this device obviously is to stop sweaty hands. Idiot.

I really need to find a clean PSP news site... :/

why argue, its ment to be about items for the psp..

arguing isn't going to help the situation,

so i seriously don't see the point..

and anyway, it looks cool, thumbs up for sweaty hand people. =D

# Guest 2006-03-25 01:40

it uses a seperate battery, it doesnt connect to the psp usb

# meh — Guest 2006-03-25 01:44

# On Topic Of The Fan... — Guest 2006-03-25 01:57

Actually this might be a legitimate device. I've noticed that if I surf on some pretty graphic-intensive sites, my PSP gets very warm (and no, not porno sites... Try hanging around Gamespot on your PSP for more than 10 minutes the little sucker gets pretty warm). I know I'm usually pretty anxious to shut it off and let it cool back down afterwards...

1. Cool down the temperature of PSP console

2. Dry the sweat on the button when you are playing the game

3. Build in battery which can be recharge by the PSP AC adapter

Product is from China, this is likely what is on the box since the grammer is horrible.

Keentop (http://www.pc-keentop.com/ http://www.keentop.cn/) makes them, (so says a couple of websites i found).

http://www.keentop.cn/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=732

There is literally NO use for this unless your hands are so sweaty you're afraid you'll short circuit your psp. By looks it doesnt even touch the front so thats pretty much pointless. The airflow isn't under your fingers, its just over/between, it needs to go under to be remotely effective (jagged surface).

# -__- — Guest 2006-03-25 03:23

Wow, this site is surely going down the drain. I've yet so see a ugly and cluttered PSP site like this. It's awful. I mean, a 12-year old can come up with a better design.

# well... — Guest 2006-03-25 03:34

it isnt that expensive, so might as well buy it to try it out

just my 2 cents

um I wonder if it is possible to hook up a usb flash drive to the psp via an usb connector converter....gonna try this. some usb flash drives show up as a hdd rather than a usb floppy....i have 3 brands and only the OCZ drive acts like a hdd so i am gonna try this.... maybe this post will cool this thread down a bit...lol

# ..... — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-03-25 06:16

For that one Anonymous Coward who was trying to prove Jeff wrong up there... "LOL! what an idot!! FOR REAL!!! Please dont let Jeff C. post anymore news... hes a moron"

This accessory is not for cooling your hands (also to the other people who didn't read). On the advertisement it says, "Sony PSP Cooling Fan - Mount to Cool Battery". Please try to read before saying anything like that.

Thank you for being an idiot.

Now, for my review on this accessory, this thing is just completely stupid. First of all, it's not cooling the battery. The battery is on the right side, not in the middle. So these people need to learn more about the PSP before they make accessories for it that make no sense.

Now, if this WAS for cooling your hands, and the fans were actually pointing towards them, it still would be a bad idea, because of where your hands mostly sweat while playing the PSP. Not only your pinky and ring fingers sweat while playing it...

In conclusion, this accessory was a bad idea and will most likely be a failure. Noone would need to buy something like this. The PSP does not get hot in the middle like that.

# makes some sense — Max1130 2006-03-25 06:48

this kinda makes sense for people who use the wifi on there psp for extended amounts of time like I do.

# HaHa — Guest 2006-03-25 07:38

wow you have got to love this

everyone who is using the word "idiot" - needs to stop and pick up a thesaurus and everyone else who has posted needs to stop and just realize that either

A. the fan is for your hands

B. the fan is to cool down the psp

C. it can make you fly

if you think it is a stupid idea say "wow it's stupid" and leave it at that

btw the psp gets quite ht while using wifi and in long use so outside tem regulated by a fan may help- thus increasing bat power. but you know that was just me using reason and prior knowledge -didn't say that was a fact though. get a life people

# these kids are really dumb — Guest 2006-03-25 07:39

the fan is to cool your psp not hands and how would cool the battery if the battery cover is on

# lol — Guest 2006-03-25 07:53

actual is to to do all of the above - surface temp can change the inside temp.. it cools and curculates all around the psp, the front and back with enough power it could do everything

# pspmagic 2006-03-25 07:53

I wouldn't add this thing to the top of my psp, ugh, even if it is light weight, its like those crappy longer cartridges for the gameboys that would add stuff like rumble, how bout no

# damn kids — Guest 2006-03-25 08:01

Who is the idiot that posted this 'news article'?!? This site is comprised of 11 year old children...

Does this run on 2.6?

# Pretty Dumb — CharlieT 2006-03-25 08:16

Think about it, you need a cooling fan Inside...not out side..This is a pretty dumb product..the only thing it'll cool off is your hands

# l — Guest 2006-03-25 08:53

is there a way to turn it around so i can use it as a fan to cool me down in the summer"

-yes.. take it off and use it as a fan

"i need link where can i download this handy tool ?"

-You are a moron... its hardware first of all... u cant "download" hardware.. u can view the page and purchase it though... and the link was also provided.. as it always is... so u asked a dumb question thinking it would be funny... now u seem super dumb because the link is there just like it always is in the news posts..... see "[Via UXCell]"??? yeah.. click that idiot

"and this product is gonna cost you 4.99 GBP. Maybe only the one who over-clock his PSP to 3330MHz would need this IMO. Really weird. O_o"

-Nope, its not only for people who "overclock" thier psp... actually i havent seen an overclocked one yet... seeing as how one hasnt gone over 333MHz yet. So those fans on xbox and ps2 controllers are for the cpu also?? i think not.... its OBVIOUSLY to cool your hands like with other consoles.... the diagram even shows how it flows evenly to BOTH hands... not directly to the cpu.... actually... not ANYWHERE NEAR the cpu... its on the back and cools near the outside... "OH THAT MUST BE TO COOL THE CPU DOWN.. SINCE IT ISNT NEAR IT".... no, moron...... its for your hands... please study the stories more and ask your supervisor before posting incorrect information, thank you!

IMHO.... you are incredibly ignorant to realize what things actually are... and u are illogical in your thinking... meaning you dont think logically and you are stupid as hell.

^^^calm down prick

# Check Spelling/Grammar! — Breed 2006-03-25 10:43

# Blow on front of psp? — Guest 2006-03-26 18:20

Hey guys

Did some research (on ebay) and by the looks of the product packaging the device blows on the front of the psp. This may infact be comferting to the hands. I'm sure aot of you have experianced sweety hands using playstation controlers. I believe though that the psp is held in a way that allows your hands more room to breath so this isn't as much as a problem. But if your psp is heating up your hands (I know mine does) then this might axualy do the trick.

To note, some sellers on ebay claim this will cool/extend the life of your psp... I think this is just made up (as alot of things on ebay) to sell the product.

As there is no current product of this type, I think there is room for it, although it's success pending. I would like to try this device though.

Thanks

# Wow, — CarXCrashXHearts 2006-03-29 13:25

That's the only person who didn't flame here.

Thank you, Anonymous Coward above me.

Anyway, to say this again, it is NOT intended to cool your hands. It may do that, but it says it's a BATTERY cooler. That's why this accessory is, in my opinion, completely idiotic and useless.

# LMAO — Guest 2006-03-29 18:31

# Hmmm...could be useful... — Aryn The Cat 2006-04-03 07:04

I wish something like this was available last year, because I really did have a need for it. I played games on my PSP the most often while travelling by bus during last year's hot summer and most of the buses in my area did not have a working air conditioning system. If I had a PSP accessory like this then it would have made those bus trips more tolerable by helping to cool me down a bit and helped to keep me from having to clean my sweat off the PSP after each use.

# THE REAL THING — Guest 2006-07-15 22:46

I helped desing this thing and I can tell you that it was desinged to cool your hands.We have also discovered that,when you load your battery,the battery gets hot.That isn't good for the battery(it last less long).

So you can also use it for that.I would also like to say that there are different models on the marcked.(batterties,add apter...).I hope this letter is useful for the few of you who still doubt about what it really is.

friendly greetz,

# THE REAL THING 2 — Guest 2006-07-16 02:23

If you red the message above this one you'll probably think its in the first place desinged to cool your hands.

Thats not true.(Sorry Alex).We have it desinged to cool your hands ant to cool the battery.That is a main function too.I just wanted to say this.
