laptop cooler for xbox 360

I've heard in many places that a laptop cooler is more efficient than the nyko intercooler and the pelican fan stand. I was wondering if I were to get one which would be the best for 360 because they are all different sizes, so whats a good cooler for the 360?MadDog550493

Any one it will fit on really. Personally you dont really need any type of fan just keep it in an open well ventillated area. Unless you absolutely have to keep it in a cramped space dont waste your money.

Yeah i wouldn't bother with a cooler at all. IF you must then get a regular fan stood near it.

Dont attatch them to the back, it doesnt help.

I use a laptop fan, but I really don't think it is necessary. I'm just a huge precautionist, and I figure every little bit helps.

Mine has 3 fans, and the surface is aluminum - I paid the equivalent of about 30 bucks for it (it has a usb hub as well).

I took a couple pics of mine in case you want to see:

As you can see, it fits pretty well. I think any laptop fan will be a pretty good fit for the 360.

I agree, but if you are really paranoid and want a fan I recommend an external fan like a room fan or something and put it behind your 360. THat will it will keep it a little cooler and blow the dust away.

house fans are fine, but id like to make use of those bottom vents and blow air through there, the most heat comes from the gpu under neath the dvd drive so if i blow air through the bottom it will probably significantly reduce heat in the 360. Dust is unavoidable but its really not a problem unless you have construction going on or something. Every like 6 months to a year just get 1 of those keyboard cleaning cans and spray it in the vents of the 360, it blows out all the dust in the 360.

Does anyone know what kind of fan the 360 uses?

I'm guessing it probably uses a standard 80mm fan, so maybe you could replace it with a higher cfm fan

I remember people doing it with the PS2 with led 80mm fans

How many times must we say it. The 360 DOES NOT need a cooling unit. If people would stop leaving it on the carpet, shoving it in entertainment centers, and leaving it on for days we wouldnt have that rampant overheating issue. Just treat it as if it were a computer. Place it in a cool spot with lots of ventilation and for the love of god, dont leave it on when your not playing it. TC this isint directly towards you so dont take it personally.KittenNipples

I have it in a great area, but it heats the room up like a steam room and I want to stop that, stop making useless comments that doesn't help me whatsoever. I'm looking for help on finding this not criticism.

360's fans will do the job you don't need any external devices to help it cool. Just keep it horizontal and in an open area.canadiankidd91

why do people think horizontol is better for cooling? vertical is always better. i can even prove it. play for an hour with your console horizontally then immediately after you turn it off pick up the console and feel the bottom of the console it will be surprisingly warm. next time play the console vertically then feel that same side it will be significantly cooler, you'll figure this out then kick yourself in the face for not realizing it sooner.

also if anyone says horizontol allows better ventelation is an idiot because air doesnt flow smoothly through the console because all the electronics are encased in an alluminum shell box (dont believe me look at some images of opened 360s.
