This item is a drop in replacement for the back panel on your Sony PlayStation 2 fat 30000 and 50000 (see compatibility section below) series gaming console. It replaces the noisy original equipment fan with an extremely quiet Noctua brand fan. After installing, you will notice a drastic decrease in fan noise from the console. Installation is relatively easy and can be done with just a philips screwdriver and about 20 minutes of time. There is no cutting or soldering involved. Everything plugs right into place as the original pieces do. Features: Drop in replacement for the Sony PlayStation 2 fat gaming console. This includes most SCPH-30000 and SCPH-50000 series. Super quiet Noctua brand case fan used makes the PS2 fan noise nearly non-existent. Installs and fits with the network adapter. Installation is done with only a philips screwdriver. Electrical fan harness allows you to plug right into the fan port on the PlayStation 2. No cutting or soldering needed. Compatibility: Has been confirmed to fit: SCPH-30001 (8 screws on the bottom), SCPH-30001 R, SCPH-35001, SCPH-39001, and SCPH-50001. DOES NOT WORK on a SCPH-50001 without the network / hard drive adapter. We're working on a fix for this issue. Does fit when installed in combination with the network / hard drive adapter. Does not fit some very early versions of the SCPH-30001 (10 screws on the bottom) because the bottom housing is a single piece. Please make sure that the rear fan panel is removable and not a single bottom housing piece. Does not fit SCPH-70000 and SCPH-90000 PS2 slim series. Package Includes: 3D printed mounting plate Noctua fan Wire fan grill Silicon fan mounts Electrical adapter harness Your item will come fully assembled and ready to install
