This is only for people who owns the intercooler EX. The intercooler EX is not the same as the intercooler. The older problems are supposed to be fixed. Like the sparks and smokes etc. But people with the intercooler EX have you guys gotten any issues using it? Do you recommend it

I would not let any intercooler near my system.. Its not really needed... I've never really had any over heating problems.

i've already mentioned about this last week but i've been running EX's on my 3 360's with no probs. My prem. had it on for 2 yrs, just make sure the console has plenty of space and not in an entertainment center. Doing a search will pull up this is an improved model with good reviews posted. With 4 4"small desk fans situated on the side vents, only my IC is slightly warm while the console stays so cool it feels like it's not even on.

Is it a good idea to use the intercooler and a table fan for the xbox at the same time. Like I could blow air into the side of the xbox (non hard drive side).

People have stated using a fan to blow inside the 360 disturbs the internal airflow and causing the rear fans to stress at higher rpms. I've never had issuesand and i've had better cooling results when adding fans inside a computer case. The semiconductor wafer probers I repair at work havearound 20 fansin them. Also i use 4" 20w desk fans, 2 on each side, not tornado shop blowers.These fans are at Target for $5 ea.

Also many will says it's overkill and you don't need 4 small fans and an intercooler attached. I live in an upstairs bedroom where temps can approach 105 degrees, and my portable A/C takes forever to cool the room down. Add in a 50" plasma and 3 computers (watercooled)and my room can be like a sauna. Any amount of cooling to the 360 gives me the satisfaction it's better than running stock. As i've mentioned with the fans and IC, only the IC is slightly warm and not the console case.

So its a bad idea. Thnx for the heads up maybe the intercooler would be enough (that is if the intercooler is actually good I would get)
