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. icon_idea.gif

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. doh.gif

Please do you further research on Google and also Wikipedia.

yeah, i've done some readings on various sites, most of 'em told me about what you are telling me, which I agree...

but what I'm wondering is that is it true that the fan would "steal" some power from the source, hence making the console's motherboard lack the power to start it?

The reason for 3RRoD & unable to start is unstable current output after the power is passed on from that intercooler.

guys, i just bought myself a Intercooler TS yesterday. Being waiting for this thing for quite a while, it's expensive, but i kinda like it. Here's my findings so far :

Pros:
- It's a quality product..the materials and packaging used are of quality...and the Intercooler fits perfectly
- Powerful fan..it moves lots of air, there's no doubt about it. My whole room smells of the innards of the Xbox
- Nice design, in my opinion

Cons:
- Tempsmart is a gimmick..it only have 2 speeds, which are OFF and ON LOUD! I was hoping for a auto variable speed thingy.
- It's expensive (in Malaysia) . I guess it's a non-issue for the US
- It's LOUD (but that is expected)

So far i'm quite happy with it smile.gif

temperature display? you meant the temperature of the xbox itself? no..but it does feel cooler. Had tested it this afternoon in my room, without switching on the aircon..it does feel cooler.

So how cool is it? like when you touch at the bottom of the xbox 360 do you still can feel the heat or room temp?

ok, let's say my room (ambient) temperature is pretty warm, with no air-con on, then the xbox's left side (if it's vertical) would be very slightly warm to the touch. It does feel SLIGHTLY cooler than without the Intercooler.
The question remains whether it is really effective in the long run, if you can stand the noise it generates biggrin.gif RM140 is still kinda expensive for what amounts to a set of fans cry.gif But since i've being waiting for this for a long time, i don't really mind buying it

it will start around 3 minutes after i turned on the Xbox (it depends on your ambient temperature)...then it would stop a few minutes after i switched it off. I heard from some people on the net that it continues to spin 10+ minutes after the Xbox had being switched off! but it, again, depends on a lot of factors smile.gif

oh yeah, forgot to answer one of your queries. yes, in my case it will continue to run during the gaming session, at the same full speed, hence the noise. i guess if your room is really cold it will shut down once the temperature in the xbox equalizes with the ambient temperature, but it never happened to me so far

I might get it, but I am so unsure about how effective it is or just continue using my own custom fans...

How loud is loud ? Is it loud as to "need to increase sound volume of TV?"

it's effectiveness is debatable..but it does extract a lot of air...so it should be doing it's job . If i were in your shoes, if your custom made fans are doing it's job, there's no reason to get this. I bought it because i don't have any custom fans and had being waiting for this product for quite a while

For me it's loud, because it's very close to me, beside my pc. My LCD is being shared by my PC and Xbox. But when i am playing games i would not have noticed the noise. However, if you put it somewhere far in the living room or in a cabinet, it shouldn't be much of a bother. But during the quieter moments the noise would be noticed.

bro, it's me , "Dom", from last night biggrin.gif
In my opinion, you should save your money..Jaspers SHOULD be fine..and I'm not even 100% sure if the TS would help my Falcon console in the long run..

Yes, exactly, i'm paranoid too...but since we now have original sets, at least we can claim warranty in SGP..albeit with some difficulty.
It's really up to you man on whether to buy it or not biggrin.gif ..it does cool down the thing, but of course it's noisy and expensive. If there's a paranoia "itch" that just had to be scratched, then by all means buy it biggrin.gif

yeah, tonight at 11pm right? i can't play for too long, but am happy for a few rounds of adventures. see you back at Sera
