yea i know..even tho it cools the best..but a lot of problems la from customers..burnt connectors..messing up power distribution..damn.

but anyway..i'm keeping the set in a open space..put it on a 3 tier rack, topmost and the power supply is on a shoe-box like box so it's not directly on the parquet floor, located behind the rack. also elevated the set (horizontally) by putting double layers of anti skid pads so air flow ada below the set. smile.gif shud be ok right this setup?

so far today been leaving it on for 8 hours to download stuff..no problems and God forbid if anything happens.

but will consider buying small table fan or the slim one as recommended by necro.

maybe air from fan disrupting the proper airflow? or too kuat the angin and..i dunno..x360 ni is a mysterious console.. laugh.gif

anyway..if i were to use a fan..i should be blowing it to the right side of the set (when horizontal) right? so that air goes in from there and cools cpu and also helps flushing the hot air out the back vents right?

hmm...i dunno but maybe your power supply is getting faulty? why not test with someone else's psu..or send it to someone to take a look at it.

personally eventhough i can still play games, knowing the fact that the psu is acting abnormally makes me uneasy. smile.gif

why don't u try not to switch the main power off, just switch the console off. wait for a few hours, then switch the console back on. if nothing happens to the psu during the few hours, maybe something is wrong with the psu (cos it works fine when u didn't turn the main power off). i'm just afraid that the constant switching of the main power kinda made the psu wonky.

better ask the pros..i'm new to the set myself, but just giving my opinion. smile.gif hope everything goes well carnby!
