power supply also hot. so keep ur power supply in a well ventilated area.
try touch ur power supply while it's yellow. u'll notice vibration from the fan inside.

80% of my statement was how to cool the xbox

20% of the rest is about nyko

ahh.. i see.. i'll try and check the cabinet tonight.. i hope it doesn't accumulate heat.. i hate it when i have to put my console on the floor.. T_T

that place was used to be the dwelling place for my PS2.. not heat issue whatsoever.. oh why oh why does Xbox 360 just gotta heat up.. T_T

just wanna share with u guys...my brother play 1st model xbox 360(xenon) in aircond room and he use nyko intercooler 1st model with coolermaster notepal....he gaming using that xbox for nearly 3 years and there is nothing problem with his 360.now he sold the 360 to my friend because he want a 360 with hdmi since he upgrade to pana plasma.before he pasang aircond in his room,he use 2 notebook cooler(one under and another over the 360) and the nyko intercooler....so what the f%$& that microsoft said that nyko intercooler drain too much power from 360 that can make 3rod???...they are just bullshitting..kesian nyko...jd kambing hitam....until now,the 360 that he sold to my friend can still gaming 6hours straight

i using cooler master notepad...before i used this cooling pad, i play game with my xbox 360 in 2 hours after that i try check ventilation hole at the back is feel hot...but after i used cooler master notepad and play game for 2 hours...i check at the back...not really hot...

yeah, i've read about this before...

there are tonnes of people out there who says that the nyko intercooler didn't contribute to the RRoD thing..

They do, not by overdraining power.

But creating arc on it's power connectur & burn the console.

yup, i've read about this, too.. in fact, that person even took a picture of the faulty machine and post in on the net..

the plastic thing that connects from the cooler to the body of the console heated up and melted. the melted plastic then got stuck onto the console's power connector, thus rendering the console damage.

right now many shop selling nyko intercooler...the connector is built using metal not the previous model using plastic for connector...i dont buy it coz i dont believe it's still reliable to using nyko intercooler that using metal connector...

wooo....pity the guy...maybe even nyko cannot stand to xbox 360 hotness....the connecttion from component cable to the nyko intercooler seem like really loose too...hm..the newest intercooler ts also got a problem,1 of LYN member already have a problem with the sensor.
maybe he got a faulty one,luckily mine is ok until now

which one? the latest nyko ones, the ones that have the thermometer?

intercooler ts dont have thermometer..only a sensor to automatically on when the console is hot

why not either you play with your air-cond on (so yourself and xbox can enjoy the cooling) else if you don't have a air-cond, get a table fan and aim at your xbox and blast the fan but don't forget to by the dust protector for your fan else all the dust will be shooting into your xbox.

sekarang ni saya telah guna cooling pad laptop for console...

xtau la berkesan ke tak... belasah je la... yang penting takder kena rrod atau ylod...

so far i put my xbox vertically..nothing happens...but i don't know what those to many tiny holes at the right (horizontally) or bottom (vertically) do....

I never use any cooling aid, placed vertically and let it on for: charging controller, download & pause before a savepoint when playing game which requires a savepoint to save.

Sometimes 2 full weeks never off.

It failed once and claimed warranty from singapore.

The returned unit going thru a same ordeal.

Now more than a year and it still never failed except occasional known software bug in a badly coded game.
