neo 2.2: ps2 becomes to hot?

I don't use the NEO (I use modchip.com) but the issue, if there is one, is identical. The modchip draws a little power but I've hardly seen a post on any forum that puts this overheating question forward. One person who thought the PS2 was overheating when laid horizontally reported placing it vertically for heat to have a greater void from which to escape through the outside casing (which looks like heat sinks anyway).

So what's your supplier up to? Is he in cooperation with a different modchip maker? Does he recommend any modchips and provide a guarantee? Or is he simply worried that he can't send any duff modded playstation2 back to Sony?

My advice (accepted at your own risk) is to find someone who will fit the mod-chip of your choice. Ensure that it is securely located so that it won't dislodge if you move your PS2 around.

Many people are interested in NEO4; I shall buy one to try although I'm quite satisfied with my www.modchip.com solution; it intrigues me to think that I can boot a backup without using an original boot disk.

Godd luck and let us all know what you do.
