I'm scared to turn my 360 on in this summer heat...

And my PC's video card just overheated too...omg what do I do? Intercooler maybe?

I was also wondering if there's any early indication that the 360 is starting to overheat, so I can moderate how much I play on it.

I never hear good things about intercoolers. But maybe someone else has. Make sure the 360 has a lot of space around it . as far as moderation just feel the 360 everyonce in a while. I have heard of people having fans blowing on their 360.

You don't have air conditioning? Do you live in a cave or something?Making_Pudding

Every once in a While i start to worry when i take my 360 over my buddy's house because it becomes incredibly Hot their and we'll play for 8 to 12 hours and watch a movie or two in the same day so i always have that thought in my head.

It's 99°F here, cuz I live in the middle-east. So, most of you are quite lucky!

not sure how accurate this is but i heard somewhere that attaching an intercooler to your 360 can affect you warranty so if something happens you could be screwed not 100% sure on that though...

also from what ive gathered using an intercooler on the 360 draws more power from the console and sucks the air out of the 360s cooling fans making everything work a lot harder

If your room is that frakken hot there's not much you can do. Intercooler or a Laptop cooler may help a bit but ... there's only so much you can do when you're just redirecting hot air.

What to do is to buy a small cheap fan and place i next to your xbox and that should keep it cool, or even buy a fan with a usb plug and plug that in to ur xbox so it is not taking up space in ur socket.

Yea, thats the best bet.

But really, if its 90 to 100 degrees in your house, I wouldn't risk it either way. I'm guessing if you dont have AC, you probably live somewhere a bit up north and you're just going through a heat-wave or something, so just wait for a cooler day.

Just wait for a cooler day like this guy said. I mean playing games are fun and i do enjoy it, but is it is that hot go to the beach, get outside you guys are lucky if it is that hot i live in scotland.

first get a big fan to keep the air circulating around the room you game in. If you can't get your room to a nice cool temperature during the day, then only play your 360 at night. and dont play for like 8hrs straight. Thats my advice.

Up here in Vancouver the 1-2 months of hot summer doesn't really justify, sorry if I don't live as close to the equator as you do.

Same thing here. I live down in AL and its already starting to hit 96degrees and we havent even reached the hottestmonths of the summer yet. I usually leave my ceiling fan on tje highest setting. Then, if its REALL REALLY hot, I'll turn on the AC. Unfortuenately, I don't have the money to be paying off a $500 light bill if i were to have the AC on all the time i play xbox.

Probably going to set up a fan beside my consoles.

Sigh, the things we do for our beloved gaming systems.

1. Get a Laptop Cooler for your Xbox. Apparently it's pretty good.

2. Put your computer back in the fridge when you're done with it. Duh.

WTF that suppose to mean!!! Do I look like bin ladin's bff or something?!

Long as there is fresh air going throught and is clean nothing should go rong.

Do not buy an intercooler. Just keep your 360 in a well ventilated area to help it keep cool.
