Xbox 360 Extra Cooling

Theres these fans that you can buy but you have to install them yourself which voids your warrenty (opening your 360 to install them) plsu Microsoft can detect (over Live) any extra device installed so they will ban you.

But its suppose to stop RROD so its gotta be good XD

How do I know if my 360 has the falcon chip. I got mine the first of January 2008.jasonharris48

I can't speak for the cooling fans because I don't have one, but I can say AVOID the ones that work off of the 360's power supply at all costs. They cause more heat and damage to consoles! There are some USB ones that don't generate so much heat, and I've seen one that has it's own separate power supply.

And yes, it does have a three year warranty... but then again there's a damn good chance you'll send it in for repairs and get an older model refurbished (that may not even have HDMI) and you won't be able to play any XBLA content unless you're signed in. Not to mention the thousands of horror stories of people sending their Xbox away for a month, just to get the "new" one back, turn it on, play for 5 minutes, and get the RRoD again and have to send it right back.

If I can avoid all that headache for $20 it's well worth it.

what about those infos ppl talk about..i've heard it's also up to the some digits on your power brick,if it says 175 w then it's falcon and if it says 203 it's not,is it true? i really doubt,my friends's 360 says 185 w..

I wouldn't get the extra cooling. The failure rate is down to 16% and if you use an intercooler you may void the warranty in the event you do get the dreaded red rings.

I'm not sure why people worry so much about this, MS will fix it for free for 3 years.

for some 360's it is true but its not 100% accurate because my brother has the falcon chip and his 360 brick says 203 watts....... also on the note do u have a premium 360 and if u do and u have hdmi on it u have the falcon chip.
