I really hope you're kidding. Everyone know the InterCooler products in the past have CAUSED the rrod in the past. Color it black, call it the "plus" model, and charge an extra $10 bucks for it. Talk to us in a year or two when your Xbox stops working due to the product. DO NOT USE THE INTERCOOLER CRAP!!! Take it off now if you have half a brain. If Microsoft thought the Xbox needed fans on top of where the fans inside are pulling from (the vents for fresh air, not a product that causes heat to pump hot air in the system), they would have made fans there.

Just coming from a guy who has a friend that killed 3 Xboxes with the InterCooler. I'm still on my original one from 3 years ago. Good luck if you keep it on there.

Man.. It's a good thing i saw this. thanks dude. you just saved me my money and my 360.

Yeah I had a lot of problems and noises from my Xbox when I had an Intercooler and when I took it off, it was fine again so I will never use one again. I have to say that I know one person that has an original realease date console that he put an Intercooler on very early and has never had a problem with it so I can only assume that the actual Intercooler units are very very unreliable.

When they work, they work but because I know of so many people that have had problems with them, they just fail far too often IMO.

No prob, save your money for sure though....

I had a Nyko Intercooler which I used for about a year, it did actually keep my 360 very cool(although it was very loud). After about a year my 360 got RRoD, at this point I read that intercoolers can actually cause RRoD because they draw power away from the console. Whether the intercooler was the cause of the RRoD or whether it would have happened anyway I don't know but I no longer use it.

Now that I install all games to my HDD the console runs much cooler anyway.

There is no way to make sure.

It can happen to anyone regardless of how well they look after their system.

EX model = BAAAD. TS = GOOOD, I've used the TS model after not having one, my Xbox can run for 4 hours and still be cool. The reason why one is bad and one is not is because the TS has it's own power source, and doesn't take power directly from the 360. This is definitely not a fool proof way to stop RRoD though.xobballox

well I unfrotunatly got the ring of death so heres a few tips:

1. ALWAYS check your warrenty because if you get the ring of death within the warrenty it won't cost a dime!

2. try keeping your xbox360's back againt a window and open the window when playing this keeps the components cooled.

3. If you are really nervous and have tiled flooring then I suggest you putting it on the tiled floor because it gets cold and like above cools it down!

Dude...your intentions are appreciated "BUT" there is no way to safe-proof a console...other then minimizing the dust around it and keeping it well ventilated. Ive had my 360 since "06" and it has been working fine...no repairs no problems.

I'll need to post a pic soon but I'll describe my 360 setup that keeps my system cool regardless of play time.

I have my 360 horizontal but I have it propped up about 4-5 inches on each corner of the 360. I have about a 12 inch gap from the wall so the back of the xbox can breathe.

I feel the xbox all around when I'm done playing and its surprisingly cool.

Moral of the story: go horizontal and prop it up off the table. :D

LMAO @ this thread. Do you really feel all these precautions are necessary? Sounds to me like a faulty product. In all honesty if your lucky enough to make it past your warranty period or don't care about your warranty then this is your best bet

Put one in my launch core unit which still works today RROD free.

Intercooler Is A Waste, Case And Point My Nephew Always Used To Rub It In My Face That He Got All The New Stuff ex. Intercooler Then He Put It On. Am I Gonna Get The Last Laugh Yeah I Didi Because For Some Odd Reason The Intercooler MELTED On The 360. He Was Crying For Days And His Warranty Expired About Two Months Back. Im Telling This So You Guys Stay AWAY From The Intercoolers.

By The Way= For The People Saying There Is No Way To Avoid It, That Only Pertains To The Consoles In The Past. The Newer Modoles Have Will Rarely If Never Get The RRo. Mines Been Working Since 06' And I Keep It Cramped Up In A Corner (Yes I Know It's Bad Yet I Have No Space In My Room).

Don't use the stupid cooler. In fact, this is how I take care of my xbox 360.

1)keep the area or the room where you put your xbox 360 ventilated and cool.

2)Clean the area where you put your xbox 360 so it's dirt-free and clean you xbox 360 as well.

3) don't put your xbox 360 in tight places. Prefer that you put it in open space and in high area as well. Don't put it on the floor

4) and since NXE feature is here. You should install the game and play it from your HDD so the xbox 360 won't have to put too much pressure playing the game (meaning the the performance will be spreaded out more).

5) Put something (small pieces of paper or something) under the four corners of your xbox 360 to gain more air-flow.

That's just me though. Maybe other people have brighter ideas but my xbox 360 has been running strong since.
