Although I just got mine, I have past experiences on my friends Xboxes andI have a few tips.

1. "Keep it in a ventilatred area". I don't mean ventilated as in, "Looks nice here on the windowsill." I mean in an area that it has 1/2 a ft room at each vent.

2. "It's fan is f***ed". It's fan has been broken somehow. Stick a hoover in the bass. Just kidding. If you find no other reason, then get it sent away as it is probable the fan is broken.

3. "Try another room." Never tried this one, but the room itself may be too small and stuffy, try it in the practical middle of another largeroom. Dunno, maybe open a few windows and doors. This one is still untested and whatever, but if the fan is not broken, like this it should be well ventilated enough.

Are you sure the entire console is blowing out cold air? The sides usually do, but the back blows out hot air. BTW, it won't freeze haha. So X that off the list. CPUs can operate in negative temperatures. Quite well, in fact.

I'm no expert, but I think it would be fine. Just make sure it isn't preventing the hot air from exiting the back of the system. And...if you're in a dusty place, make sure it isn't blowing dust into the back of your 360. I had a friend who put a fan blowing on his system too, but it was one of those air purifiers and never blew dust-filled air towards it. Might cause long-term problems.

I think the gpu or cpu is not having full contact with the heatsink, causing the chip to overheat instead of having the heat dissipated by the heatsinks, thats why the fans are pulling cold air.

This reminds of the that movie where the kid broke his arm and then became a major league pitcher. One of the staff members had a solution to the ice the pitchers put on their shoulders after a game... hot ice. Check that one out LOL
