Pelican Air Flo Cooler or Nyko Intercooler EX.

Hey guys. I got the Xbox 360 Elite for Christmas, and I'm wondering if I should get the Pelican Air Flo Cooler or the Nyko Intercooler EX. If its the Pelican Air Flo Cooler will it fit in the Elite version of the Xbox 360?

i heard coolers make ur warrenty unusable

They don't void your warranty unless the cooler leaves any marks on it.

I have a Nyko. It has worked fine and kept my console alot cooler. You'll hear bad things about it but NONE of the bad things have happened to me.

Well I just bought a 360 Elite and an Intercooler EX 2 days ago. I went to hook everything up last night and the Intercooler does not work with the Elite. The power cable coming off of the 360 Elite power brick will not fit into the Intercooler EX power slot.

The Intercooler actually has a piece of plastic in the middle of the power slot that will not allow you to push the 360 power cable into it. I tried looking online for answers to see if Microsoft changed the power cord or if other people are having this problem but I really haven't found anything yet. I'll keep looking but any info would be appreciated.

The only bad thing I've experienced with my Nyko Intercooler is that its a little louder. But thats a small price to pay to avoid RROD.Zach68486

There's more than just overheating that causes the RROD. Just keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and don't plug it into a surge protector.

Why wouldn't you plug into a surge protector?

It already has a regulated power source.

I would highly recommend the Nyco EX, they fixed the prob w/ melting by making it lock in place and they put a metal heat insulator on it also. A lot of people don`t understand the changes, and they mention the old ones like thse probs still exist. The biggest reason I bought it was to fight the locking up problem w/ R6 Vegas which it does extremely well.HilbillyRokstar

How did you get it to work HilbillyRokstar? As I stated above, I was unable to use the Nyco EX on my Elite system.

All useful advice. Thanks. Wrt the surge protector comment, does plugging it into a surge protector actually do it any harm (rather than just being unnecessary)? eg increase risk of rrod etc
