I've been debating taking the thing off.


It's one of the newer ones that aren't supposed to scorch the console.

I've had it connected for 6 months. Do you think it's safe to run the 360 without it now, or should I leave it on? I keep thinking the 360 hardware has adjusted to it and now it will not run well without the Intercooler.


I also heard that the graphics run better with this thing attached, since the hardware components run cooler and thus run better, just like any other PC graphics card would. What do you think?

i see no harm in not having one on, as mine has been running just fine on its on - unless yours isn't placed in a well ventilated area

Long as it isn't the Nyko one, I don't see a problem with it staying on. I could be wrong though.

You didn't give us any reasons why you should take it off.. You gave us more reasons on why you should keep it on, lol.

IntercoolerEX for the 360 from Nyko for me rules so far but I can be wrong. My 360 got to the point that with some games I couldn't even play cause it froze like 4 times in an hour(the darkness)then I went and bought the intercoolerEX and i've played like 6 different crazy games(Bioshock,Halo3,Half life2,etc) with no freezing problems..not even once. But the thing is i've had it on the 360 for about a month now. I'm really scared and hope I didn't jinx myself right now. :(

Also if I were you I would just leave it on cause when you remove it then the console will start getting hot again and it's a red ring of death risk even if you put it on a well ventilated spot. Might as well take the risk with the intercooler blowing dust in the console then having it overheat and damaging the hardware. Either way I guess the console is doomed. I love the 360 and the games that are out on it but the damn thing is just not made well. it's not a perfect world.

i was told by some one that you shouldnt have it on because it sucks more power away from the 360 making it have to work even harder for those fans to go what u should do is go to a dollar store get a little fan that doesnt run off the 360 should help keep the heat away

I used the nyko one and didnt have any problems, but later took it off in parania. Besides that the blue light thingy on mine was annoying the s#$% out of me, and it just looks ugly, not that the 360 looks any better by it self, but whatever.
