Title: New 360, Whats The Best Cooling Product?
Post by: 328iGuy on October 30, 2006, 07:57:00 AM

I will be recieving a 360 this week and was wondering what the best option is for a fan/cooling option?

Thanks

Probably the Nyko intercooler, but it uses your 360's psu to power it. Oh and MS say it uses too much power and voids your warranty!

I'm also looking for a solution, the 360 runs WAY too hot for my liking.  I'll be holding out until someone develops one that comes with its own seperate power supply.

I use a USB Laptop cooler.  It works great and you don't notice it.

Hmm alright then I wouldn't assume this would be "the best" option then?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Scroll to cooling mods. It's all there.

also... the Nyko intercooler is not the best. You may also want to just use your 360 for a bit before you go ripping it apart.

No, I wouldn't touch a nyko with a bargepole.

1. Give xboxexpert 1000 dollar and ask him to watercool your xbox.
2. Talismoon fan set
3. 12v fan mod
