![]() ![]() ![]() Using an ATX power supply also gets me one step closer to putting the console into a computer case. ATX power supplies are much more common than PS3 power supplies. My reasoning behind this is the fact that all power supplies stop working eventually. ![]() Initially I was going to keep the existing power supply and just make it external, but have decided to instead use a regular ATX computer power supply. This post goes through the process of modifying a fat CECHA01 PS3 to use an external power supply. That’s a lot better than the other model, but is still contributing to the amount of heat that the console has to exhaust. I’m lucky, my PS3 has the much more efficient APS-226 power supply, which is 83.13% efficient. Those power supplies are only 66.5% efficient, meaning that lots of unnecessary heat is generated by the power supply. Many of the original fat consoles came with power supplies with the model number of ZSSR5391A. Three of the biggest sources of heat within a PS3 are the RSX graphics processor, the Cell processor, and the power supply. ![]()
