Description of Sony Playstation PS3 Copper Heatsink Yellow
Contents = 2 copper shims + 3.5g tube of Arctic Silver 5. Shims are used between the CPU/GPU and heatsinks to provide better cooling for your PS3. Shims are 42MM X 42MM and are 1.2MM thick. 100% copper, cut and polished.
This kit didn't repair my PS3 itself but it didn't seem to damage anything. I had to do an oven reflow to get a permanent fix. One complaint: they hardly give you arctic silver. The tube is probably about the size of a peanut M&M.
Excellent. I have successfully repaired 2 PS3s with them with no problems. I have experience assembling and repairing electronics and I believe that any negative review on this product is the result of a failed repair attempt. This will not fix the chipset, it will only prevent the chip from overheating in the future. Worth every penny. Thank you 3RedLightFix!
Like! Comes with what was in a bubble envelope and arrived early in the day (via UPS). The only big problem is that I accidentally blew a SMALL microfuse. YLOD woo! Luckily one of my cousins has a PS3 that I could borrow. Anyway, there is a THICK paste in the tube of thermal paste, which is really easy to smooth out and spread (a mini M&M amount). and then put the copper pad on it. :)
