My 360 is heating up my room..

Unless you're living in a box with no ventilation, I seriously doubt your 360 is heating up your room.mfacek

I agree i sometimes sit like 5 feet away because i'm used to it and i never feel the heat. Unless i get like a foot away i doubt it'll make your room hotter.

well if the windows are closed and you have been playing for a long time it is possible. 360s generatie a lot of heat and i've experienced the same thing after long game sessions FMunro3251

It manages it heat things up within 30 minutes of turning it on. I've tried opening a window, and it hasn't been helping much.

It is my 360, I know it is.CraigJK

If your 360 is putting off enough heat to bring the temperature in your room up, get rid of it fast because it's gonna explode!

Seriously, I highly doubt your xbox is heating up your room. The amound of energy required to heat even a small room is far greater than the amount of energy given off by running your xbox.

I guess it's normal, I did some searching and some people had the same problem, but, is there any way to make it stop? My room gets uncomfortably hot, and in living in Florida, so I don't really need a spare heater around. I doubt I could just fix the xbox, but any remedies to keep my room cooler would be nice. Thanks a lot.CraigJK

LMAO

I live in FL too.

Yea man, 360 is like a space heater. It's awesome in January but right now it sucks because it's not cold at all.

:P

So there's not much I can do about it? Aww crap, summer is going to suck >.CraigJK

Yea, you can water cool it...

lmfao wtf is that you got like a time machine on there? lol jesus christ

Hey, you live in Florida man, summer is going to get as hot as hell with or without your 360 (just joking)

But, seriously, whenever im playing and the room gets too hot i just turn the fan on and open the window, it really helps.If it doesnt, go to the beach or something.

Just open your door.

Yeah, I hate when that happens. I play on my computer monitor in an 8' x 12' room and it just gets so hot (It also doesn't help that I have 3 other computers jammed in there)! But, I usually open a window, turn on the fan, or even just take a break. I live in PA so I can only imagine how hot it gets down there :)

wow. nice way of making the console look very ugly and inconvienant (SP). no warranty for you.

for the thread creator: you can always put it near a vent i have a room that gets really hot and i have 3 fans and a ac window unit and i have my 360 near the window unit. or if you have a wood or tile floor. set your 360 there WHEN YOUR USING IT)

well if ur room on the second floor is normal, cause hot air always rise, and during the summer my room hot as hell. But it kinda nice during the winter for me, cause my computer,360,TV,Setreo, and other electronic in my room produce heat, which keep me warm :D, and during spring or winter, it is hot as hell in here :(

I feel ur pain man, it does keep ur room hot if u don't have an AC/Fan. But yeah, open ur window for fresh brezzy wind

or use a setup similar to this...

Crank up the A/C. If you don't have one get a small portable one for your room.

No dude 360 definitely makes a room hotter, and I live in vegas so that is not needed at all. To the OP I can tell you to turn on the AC, and if you cant do that put a fan by the window and leave the door onpen you should be fine.

jee to bad i have an elete and it is only 78 degrees after 4 hours of r6v2. i guess ill have to buy a heater :(

( im addicted to my laser thermomitor! it is just to much fun)

ya 360s make good space heaters, when we LAN at my house we play in the same room usually with 5 to 8 boxes linked and we usually have to turn on the AC to compensate.

but ive noticed my box alone will warm up the room pretty quickly.

i live in FL and have the same prob

but i just keep my AC AROUND 70 with a fan and it stays cool

This is crazy. I can't believe that an xbox can change the temperature of a room by several degrees. The physics behind what some of you are claiming don't add up. I'm going to test this by putting a temperature data logger at various distances from my xbox so I can observe the temperature change. Obviously right next to the unit I would expect to see an increase in temp. But as I get further away, I would expect any heat given off to be disappated into the surrounding room and be cooled down to room temp through typical heat transfer (I keep my house at 70 degrees F).
