hmm..i think i've asked this last year..but i'll ask again now.

they're so many stories about the 3 red lights (of death) which is usually caused by overheating, if not hardware failure.

even some seniors/experienced lyn forumers get these problems..

so how stable is this x360 really is? i mean like, are these problems zeroed in on an early batch of x360s..or is it still happening to later batches too? i just hope and pray hard that i won't get this much trouble when finally getting hands on a set.

also..does provision of good ventilation for the psu and the x360 set itself, enough to avoid overheating/3 red lights?

man i'm scared reading those horror stories..(nama pun horror stories)

then again..even the ps1 had its fair share of overheating..but luckily i didn't get that prob..only when the motor for the lens gave out that i had to change it. same goes for my ps2. hopefully my luck will remain with an x360..

^ aight..kewl! i'll just keep that thing ventilated then. biasala bro..orang baru in x360 world..takut the console die on me..hehehe

thanks again for clarification!

hmm..just a question..

maybe i wasn't aware but has MS released the 2nd batch of x360s? i mean, i read in another thread here that supposedly, 2006 sets are more stable? true ka?

hey guys..since i'm cheap...i thought of buying a usb fan and pointing it towards the right side of the x360 (when in horizontal)..the fan should be blowing tht way right? so tht the hot air blows out the back?

u guys think it's a worthy investment..or shud i go with a better cooling system?

sound off bros!

hmm yea table fan lagi kuat...tapi xde tempat nak letak dah..huhu..ah well..try and find some old table fans then..

aaa..that's better! thx bro for the cadangan! cantekk! can search around la macam ni..

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. 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..

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.

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. hope everything goes well carnby!
