Which Cooling System is the best for 360

I have been considering a cooling system for the 360 for a little while now and wanted to know which system was the best I have been looking at both the Intec Cooling Station, and the Nyko intercooler, has anyone used one or the other and are they really worth it?

My 360 get very hot in my room even though it is in a well ventilated area on top of my T.V. stand so I think if these really do what they say they do then they would be a great investment.

thanks for the feedback

I wouldn't get a cooler. If your 360 is going to die from overheating, let it. Then you can get it fixed with the 3 year warranty. Once you get the fixed one, hopefully you won't have to worry about heat.

I would go with this one

Not only does it have the fans, but it also adds a bunch of handy standard A/V video connections on the back too. (no HDMI though *sniff)

i have Nyko and i never use it i play my 360 12hrs. sometimes. u dont need one its just waste of moneyinsane_metalist

You do Know that the Ring of death is casued by heat issues. and They have a super speedy 1 month repair time

• 5 days to send you a box
• 5 days to send it back
• 2 weeks at the repair center
• 5 days to send it to you again.

call me old school, but i use a regular floor fan, put it a few feet away from my 360 and play it for hours on end and like never even heats up.

:lol:, good one.

These fans are a huge waste of money. I've fell asleep several times and left my 360 running all night (sorry Al Gore) and I've never had any problems.

I think there's more evidence to support these fans damaging your 360 than there is that they prevent the RRoD.

haha yes! I'm not the only one!

You can make one yourself. First you get 10 cubes of ice and you put them into a plastic bag. And then set that plastic bag on top of the system, but make sure you first put holes in the bag so it can breath. That should take care of your over heated system.

breath.......right....:roll:

I have my 360 and my other game systems on my wire style steel triple enforced lab rack. Everything stays cool enough without an outside cooler. Proper ventilation is always the best thing for cooling issues.ChaosLives68

People also seem to forget to dust thier entertainment areas and that will lead to overheating as well. As a matter of fact if you have ever opened a PC after a good year and take a look at your heat sink in your PC, well let me tell you it will look like a small mouse is sitting on your motherboard. Dusting is very very important as you'll never open your 360 to be able to clean it.

I just use those air cans with the straws and blow out the back and side vents and then open the tray and blow it out from the back.

wouldnt recommend the nyko intercooler because it melted to the back of my 360. voiding the warranty is not a issue with the nyko cooler tho because nyko replaces your 360 if the intercooler damages it. im waiting for my new360 to come in the mailnow. nyko even covered the shipping. their replacement period is 2-3 weeks.

the messed up thing is that i was actually trying to remove the intercooler from my 360 because i had just heard about the 3 year warranty extension frommicrosoft. thats when i noticed that it had melted to my 360. it had to just happen the night before, because i didnt notice it until then. (D'OH!)

Lol that's what I do

my xbox has a cooling system, very noise but very effective, i can play GTA 4 12 h without geting 3rod, can you ppl do this with the original fan? i dont think so.

i wouldn't bother with getting a cooling system, just install the games on ur hard drive and ur system will stay cool.
