I just keep it away from everything else. You may want to get a small fan to blow on it though. The hardware problem should be fixed now, so you shouldn't have to worry.

ive yet to have an overheating problem, my 360 is the second generation though. but my charger stays against the wall while my 360 sits sideways normally.

i just sent mine away on friday :(

but someone said to go get a nyko intercooler, because they have fixed the problems with them

[BuBBa DRiFT]

i saw the for 10 bucks at gamestop, in the bargain bin they had em for cheap.

[Hulud]

yea i may pick one up

i got a pelican battery pack and charger for $10 from there, and it also charges my micorsoft one lol

[BuBBa DRiFT]

oooooohhh i might have to get one of those, i keep getting caught stealing my dads rechargeable camera batteries :ninja:

[Revmaynard]

I have a Nyko, but I just bought mine around Christmas so I'm pretty sure it had the problems worked out. The Nyko's work great but they make more noise than the machine without it.

Sending mine away this week.:( :cry:

yea i got a intercooler when it first came out,which it seems to work.......but then it melted to my 360,and it stoped my 360 fans from working

["B"]

WTF??? How did it melt to the 360?

[OneSlow5pt0]

WTF??? How did it melt to the 360?

because it plugs into the power plug and the metal in the 360 got so hot it melted the plastic on the intercooler,i had to use a knife to pry it off

["B"]

Holy shit.

Where did you find one with "quiet" fans?

[1NonlyAccord]

i got mine from EB games..all i hear on mine is the disk spinning.

or if u want to take a 20$ risk open it up and get on newegg.com and order sum small CPU fans and replace them..can evn get LED ones to light it up!

and then void your warranty on a system that is 99% sure to fail regardless!!! GREAT IDEA!

[Revmaynard]

I just don't spend so much time on mine. I go outside in the sun....fucking nerds.


jfwy, lol.
