This is 3rd day I play my lovely xbox 360. The heated wind exhaust from the 2 fans makes me worrying. Right now I have table fan facing the left side of the xbox to cool it down. For sure it will not help much in cooling down internally. I read the water cooling solution, any other can recommend?

dont worry just make sure your 360 is placed at an open space. make sure the back is well ventilated. actually would like to suggest you getting nyko intercooler but my intercooler is messing with my 360 at the moment. stop using it already.

wat happen? care to explain?

Play in an air-con'd room. And after a few hours of play, give the 360 a 20 minute break or something (which is what I usually do)

Another thing to try is to see if the air coming out the back of the 360 is just warm or it feels like it's coming out of a hairdryer

hehehe i suspected my intercooler is messing with the 360 voltage. i think so...
and also i am so afraid with the 3 red dead blinking lights too. that day my 360 hang and hang and hang while playing lotr2. took out the intercooler and can play already. but yesterday tried to plug it back and my 360 got red blinking lights damn scared now dont wanna use it anymore

^bro judge, what brand transformer u using?

newstar 500w black color. why

how many socket? mine one is Teletrons 500w the most powerful transformer.

2 blacks and 1 red. using the red one.

If air is flowing out of your 360 and it's not sizzling hot, you should be ok.

Just because it's in an air cond room doesn't mean it's cold, unless your air cond is blowing right at it lar.

Intercooler with pass through power connector is messing with the main voltage going into the 360 either electric noise or drawing current away from the 360.

is't u plug in AC100V ? i think teletrons is most stable one. back in that day some guy at LYN pm me and ask me look for Teletrons transformer.

hmmm, im using Teletron 500W too. the shop guy told me its the best transformer around, but i thought it was just marketing talk... looks like im wrong

yup, if ur 360 not enough electricity it will automatic active 1,3,4 red lights( i 'kena' almost 20times) i think this Teletron is the most stable one.

if you put your console horizontal, get something to make your console "leg" higher around 1/2 inch so there will be more air flow below it. been doing it since ps1 days.

suspend ur x360in mid air

can we use those notebook cooler on our 360?

So let me compile the summary of cooling xbox 360:-

1. Nyko Intercooler (how much?)
2. Air cond (your dad may curse you on electricity bill )
3. Notebook cooling pad (facing which side?)
4. Hang the xbox in the mid air (how? )
5. Elevated height if put horizontal (can put on the floor?)

Found out on gamerspot.com, there are 2 main causes for the system hang and overheat:
1. console itself
2. the uber power brick

For the power brick, "hang" in the air trick is put it on top of a shoe box with the box cover removed. It will let the heat dissipates in all direction.

I merely use table fan to cool my 360. Just tembak the air from table fan on the right side of the 360. The one that will be on the bottom when 360 is positioned vertically.

I think the exhaust fan are meant to be hot~ (approx around 47 celcius ? ) when playing games that time.

once if you are not playing games it will go back to normal.

but if you want best soluiton.. open up xbox 360 fan and use table fan directly blow~
