No it is not necessary to have the Intercooler. People really don't seem to understand that. The Xbox 360 is built to cool itself off. It doesn't need a 3rd party device to do it. The Intercooler sucks needed power from the Xbox 360 which can lead to bigger problems than just the Intercooler melting.

My intercooler starting scorching. I think it was related to the power source being plugged into it.

you guys need help. INTERCOOLER = BAD AND VOID WARRENTY = YOUR SCREWED It scorches your 360 thus when microsoft see's that its scorched you get it returned with nothing changed. So your only option is contacting the people who made the intercooler who offer replacements if their product causes damage or store warrenty is still there. Inter cooler works the best, but for the lazy design of not having a alternate way of getting power it uses your 360's connection outlet and thus before getting to the 360 takes away the power it needs. Like for example: (Energy going in) (Intercooler) (360 Receives) Which is much less than intended to operate the 360. _ 60 - 30 = 30

No, a seperate piece made by a third party company called the intercooler is not needed. At all.
