PSU compatiblity critisism

The earliest batch of PS3 had the ZSSR5391A power supply, which as you can see in the above table draws a lot of amps from your power outlet. You can replace it with newer compatible power supply models that draw less power, and also produce less heat.
The second criteria is to try to find the lowest input amp and lowest output amp that works with your PS3 model (for APS models, this means the higher the model number, the better).

The above is wrong in stating that:

  • The output rating is a measurement for how much power the PSU itself uses (e.g. its efficiency)
  • That it is better to get a PSU that has a lower rating which has littler headroom
