PSP Cooling Fan - Pointless?

Posted Mar 25, 2006 at 3:17AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Accessories, Off Topic Tags:

Mmimminito has laid us an email saying he came across a weird accessory for the PSP - A cooling fan.



This is a product by UXCell. Here is a very brief introduction for this product:
  • Brand New PSP Cooling Fan (Generic Non-OEM)
  • Quantity: ONE
  • Firmly Clip on your PSP
  • Light Weight.
  • PSP not included (yeah I know.)
And this product is gonna cost you 4.99 GBP. Maybe only the one who over-clocks his PSP to 3330MHz would need this IMO. Really weird. O_o

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.

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 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.

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).

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).

» .....

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.

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

-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!

» Blow on front of psp?

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

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.

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

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.

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.
