HOW MUCH IS THE INTERCOOLER TS???
REALLY WANT IT!

... RM 140 !

Its freakin' expensive... and don't know whether effective or not...

Crap that is more then 2 times the price on Amazon!

... I actually pondered the idea of ordering one from Amazon... but I don't know, all the trouble for something that may not work...

I tried that and they refused to ship to Malai-Siah

from a chat with an overseas modder. he said Nyko intercooler is not very effective.
keep an update, i hope i have enough money to finish this mod fast.

i've heard that Nyco Intercooler kills the console, something about the intercooler steals some power from the console hence making some part of the motherboard's unit don't receive enough power..

is this true?

That's the earlier version, this newer one comes with its own power adapter I heard.

i see...

so, basically, don't use an intercooler that shares the same power adapter as the consoles, am I right?

I'm using one right now, though I dunno what's the brand of the intercooler, maybe it's 'cap ayam' or something like that..

can someone advice whether to keep on using the intercooler or just take if off?

wow...nice mod there...

According to Amazon, the reviews are quite good.90% say is really effective. After all it comes with its own power. SO no need to worry of intercooler sucking out power from 360

dunno true or not..

no, the one selling in GH is Intercooler TS, compatible to all xbo360 as it's using independant power source.

woahh... for real? anyone can clarify about this?

oh, one more thing, is there any electrical/electronics wizard out there who can really explain on how does a fan sharing the same power with the console can damage the console? The explanations that I've received thus far are all assumptions..

Maybe the console is kinda faulty from the beginning and M$ is just using that intercooler as a scape-goat for such issue, right? (of course, this is also just an assumption)

This is real on a "controlled environment", not in you house....so the result might be different, just like you'll never get the quoted fuel consumption on your car if you drive to work in rush hour everyday.

Fan sharing the same power itself will not damage the console. The thing that damaged the console on the old Intercooler EX is the inferior quality of the connector. causing the connector to be melted onto the console & damage the console's one & only only power interface not to mention your console scream for more juice by showing 3RRoD when the power is not stable due to intercooler's problem.

But do remind that intercooler sold in GH is the one using external power. The Intercooler TS.

Example of the damage of old intercooler is like this :-



If you're microsoft engineer, will you approve RMA for this thing? My guess is a good no.

Please do you further research on Google and also Wikipedia.

Heh, if you're smart enough, you should just keep quiet about using the 3rd party cooler when doing RMA.

I used to work in technical support, sometimes customer call saying their product doesn't work due to thunderstorm, I said nope, warranty not valid for that kind of incident.
On the other hand if they keep quiet about the thunderstorm incident, I'll just process RMA for them.

u work for microsoft?

...I tot anyone know that...

But how'd you explain the scorching on the power socket?
