I bought a refurbished xbox pro for christmas.

It seems fine and everything, except when the system is on, the fan is always on. Its not really loud though.

However, when I put a game in, it gets louder and i'm afraid its going to overheat. I only have 2 games right now so I just put them on the HD and that eliminated the noise but i can't put ALL my games on the HD when I get more in the future.

Am I freaking out over nothing? :\

It's always going to be on. Downloading to the hard drive allows the fan to not run while playing, but it doesn't really matter if it is, I mean that's what the 360 is made for, to run like a machine. Just don't play it for like 10 hours straight at a time and you'll be good :P

lol good jk I guess it's safer to install games to HDD to be on the safe site, and you don't need to put ALL the games on it, just a few selected games that you play ;)

I sure hope you got a warranty with a refurbished console. I wouldn't buy any electronics used without a significant warranty.

I got a refurb back from microsoft after recievingt he RROD, mines makes alot of noise whilst playing games too and also vibrates my whole TV stand too. Dont worry about it though especially if you have a warranty as the customer service is great and i got my 360 back within 10 days of it breaking with 1 months xbox live for free.

The noise if your system overheating. I would advise you to quit playing for a couple of hours and then re play. If you have another storage device, or do not care about save game data, then go ahead, keep playing, and when it overheats, take it in for a warranty covered 360 with bundled games. =P
