Eh, why so weird leh, I have been using it on mine for many moths, still okay wor. What gives? I have two 8 cm Thermaltake fans on the side but those should be okay as I modified them myself to be get the power from the USB port. So, should I make two more fans on the rear to replace my Nyko? I thought that Nyko is famous and leading one for providing high quality accessories across all consoles. Hmmmmmmm shakehead.gif

There's nothing wrong with my Nyko intercooler so I guess I'm not too bothered with people having melted or burnt power sockets as I always check my XBOX 360 from time to time and my XBOX 360 is connected through Belkin's surgemaster Gold series. Extra protection needed this powerful beast. smile.gif

Nah, dun panic, please read the article below, taken from Gamepro website. Why panic, I have been using my Nyko intercooler for almost 4 months plus and not a single problem with it, I've checked it everytime. Chill people. thumbup.gif

Nyko Addresses Xbox 360 Intercooler Problems

Because the fan peripheral saps its power directly from the Xbox 360, there have been concerns that the Intercooler 360 could cause damage to the console. Recent posts on some gadget blogs have shown Intercoolers discoloring and, in some cases, breaking Xbox 360s. Outside of images and testimonials, however, it's not known how many units could be affected.

Nyko notes that "a small percentage of all products suffer from defects," and that the Intercooler 360 is "less than half the average for consumer electronics products." Nyko is also pledging to replace damaged Intercooler 360s, as well as Xbox 360 consoles, "upon first-hand verification that the Intercooler 360 caused the system to fail."

The Intercooler 360 ($24.99) has shipped over 500,000 units, according to Nyko.

I guess removing the casing and put the console directly underneath our ceiling fan will be the ultimate cooling solution smile.gif
