After getting a 360, I just realized that even the new zephyr models really, really heat up. Is that really normal, even for the zephyr? What can be done to further cool the console down?
Bump. And, by the way, don't think I didn't know the 360 was going to heat up to such a degree. I know that most all 360 consoles heat up a lot, I'm just wondering about cooling solutions, for the most part.
ya your best best is to get a bucket of cold water, and after playing it for a while you are going to want to put the end of the 360 with the hole and cool it down in the water. this should work
stupids idiots u dont put water on it, yo just put a mini fan or regular fan near ur xbox 360 console or dont play too much where its going to get hott

Their just being sarcastic. Please if you really did put water, im very disappointed in you and that you should be hating yourself now. Of course the xbox gets hot after long hours of gaming. Just let it cool and dont buy those intercoolers.
1. Dont turn the system back on right after it freezes. Give it a few minunites. If its been on for a few hours give it 10 to 15 minunites.
2. The usb base fan is worth the $15. Dont run the fan while the 360 is on use it to dispell the heat after you power off your console. My 360 is verticle and I remove the Hard Drive and kick the fan on and let it cool for about 10 minunites. It is a known fact the majority of Red lights come from the heat softening the solder points on the GPU - Hence not turning it back on right after a freeze and letting it cool.
I have a launch system and its still running strong!!!!!!
1: turn your A/C down in the house....hell its a constent 60-65 degrees in my room, and i play my 360 for hours on end, and its never frozen or stutterd or anything, and it doesn't get HOT just a little warm.....or u can go out and buy a laptop cooler pad, and lay your 360 down on one of those

Wait this is stupid, the answer is easy. Just blow on it to cool it down...like you do with tea.
hummm..., don't really get the point? What's the problem? Unless you sit very close to the box it shouldn't bother you. I really don't care, as long as I respect the intructions and place it with enough free space around I focus on playing.
Don't fret, it's a good thing your 360 heats up to that degree. Whenever my 360 gets really hot, I take off the case, crack an egg open and boil it. On cold nights, you can also use it as a mini heater.
I have mine on alot and it does get very warm but its never crashed, when I first got it at release date I had it in a drawer and you could honestly fry an egg on it
Heh, Yea a mini heater, the 360 is like a nuclear power-plant, it produces so much heat, that u can sleep outside, 2 miles away and still be feeling a nice warm breeze. There is a simple and very effective method to cooling your 360 off. It's called the off button, however the problem is if you press it, you will die because there so damn addictive and your brain will fry just like the 360. Oh yea you will need to have left it for about a week before playing on it again, which is the flaw in the plan as i find i can't cope after 3 days of inactivity.
