xbox colling fans

alright so a got 3 friends who got the cooling fans for the 360 and their the only 3 that i know that their 360 broke down.

is it just a coicidense or could the cooling system screw up your 360.

they told me not to buy since it happened weeks after they put it on.

could it be true......your comments... 

Do not get the cooling fan attachment.  It will screw up your X360 .. it happened to a friend on mines as well (he warned me not to buy one).  Its a defective product (does more harm than good).

so i guess the cooling fans are a sort of problem that microsoft made.....

and plus they sell you stickers to put on em and face plates....but if ur xbox breaks down, i heared that if u return it to get fixed , they wont take it back.

damn microsoft is starting to get on my nerves....good for them that they got good games or else.... 

The colling fans were made for the purpose of making insecure people be persuaded to buy it to try and protect their investment, trust me it does the exact opposite, the 360 wasn't designed to produce enough power for both the system and the fan.

no but maybe if they existe it means that microsoft approved there mister genius.

anyway if it would break or stop you from using your warranty they should warn you.

YES the damn thing melted my power socket and cord

In Soviet Russia, xbox fans cool YOU!!--Wolf--

I got a fan stand for 10 bucks, and it's cooled things off a lil' bit and made me feel better, so I'm happy.

DONT BUY THESE THINGS. Just buy a fan you use in your room to sit next to it.Bungholio55

All a fan would do is be a less-efficient intercooler. It wouldn't really blow any air into the system or cause any more heat to leave the system. I'm going to mod my fan stand to be an USB-powered intercooler wannabe.

Maybe this is coincidence, but I sold a friend my premium, so I could buy an elite. For a year, my premium has never had a problem until I gave it to my friend. I told him to buy a laptop cooler, a 4 inch fan that you can place behind the console and some dustsprayer. He didn't listen and he just bought one of those fan stands. Well he recently got the redlights a couple of weeks ago. So we went to the store and he bought the stuff I told him to buy. Well his 360 works fine now especially spraying the dust spray. The external fan not only helps bring out heat, it also helps prevent some of the dust from sticking to the fans. He bought a 4 inch fan that you can get at target and his 360 has been working fine ever since. He takes good care of it now. I feel that the external fan works, if you use it the right way.

I didn't say exhaust fans wouldn't work, I more specifically meant a fan in front of it. I actually modded my fan stand such that it works like an intercooler but is much less noisy and doesn't draw from the PSU. It is now an exhaust fan that blows outward from the vent the cpu/gpu heat blows. (Below the Video connection)
