Best way to keep 360 cool???

The pelican fan stand is approved by MS as a solution, the Nyko intercooler was not. You might have better luck with the pelican.....Or, you could do like I have, and sit your 360 up on 2 small "posts" (I used decks of cards) so it has some airflow underneath, and point a fan at it. That way is ghetto, but its free and cold.whoisryanmack

Once xbox sends me another 360 next week the ghetto way look good especially because summer is almost here. 

poor cold water on it, or just buy a hunk of ice and just let it sit on top of it....wreak

I use a chill pad on my laptop and am thinking if one can make a difference on the 360 because the laptop heats up alot more than a console.  I suggest anyone using a laptop to get a chill pad for it also because overtime you will notice how much of a difference it will make. 

lol decks of cards and a fan, that must look so next genag1002

I have a really nice setup and cannot believe microsoft would not have thought of putting more fans in the console by making the console bigger.

I was thinking the same thing do you think it will do the job??? 

I use the Nyko intercooler. Dont know why people are hating on it. works fine for me.

I used it for like a year and the system started tripping and tried to take it off and the intercooler was burned onto the console where you connect it.  It works great in the short run but after a while you pretty much will be screwed. 

Not to turn on your X360... haha...

Can get one of those add-ons fan cooling things.

or why not just chuck it in a barrel of water.. (sarcasm) but seriously just put the airconditioner on like 20 mins b4 playing and turn it off wen finished i mean u wouldnt need the airconditioner on all day coz i mean u need a life other than playing games. 

dude i just thought of a gr8 idea... rip open your xbox and leave off al that white plastics and put some fans blowing onto the mother board. problem solvedpetrolhead

Bad idea...the 360 needs to be inclose to get have air through the vent. If your going to open the 360 up, mind will just do the 12v fan mod.

move to the north pole:PMuffinsKill

I think our planet's ice caps are currently are melting fast enough without any help from the sun-like heat generated by the 360. If everyone with a hot 360 moved to the North Pole, all of our coastal cities would be flooded within 6 months.

It is as much nextgen as the overheating issues the 360 has.

wot i cant understand wot ur saying. 

you can get a mini fridge and then cut a few holes in the back for the cords to go out...

i just keep mine on tile though.

Put it in a room where it's generally cold all the time.

i bought this fan from amazon a month ago. and i have not had a problem ith my 360 since.

my 360 used to give me the rings of death but now its running normally and cooler than ever

The only thing you need to keep your 360 cool is a well ventilated room.

If your room is always warm, just get a bunch of fans and set them up everywhere.

Ok, whats the Best cooling syestem to buy for the 360 then? (if the intercooler is no good.) the stand fan ones are no good to me because I have mine Horizontal and in a enertainment center, so no room to put th esyestem verical.

if u have an airconditioner turn it on like 10 min b4 you play and put a fan behind the 360 to blow air away from the back of it
