im on my second 360 and i have not experianced overheating on this Xbox yet, but im not going to risk it because this is too good of a console to let it die!! ]]>Apr 2nd 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Aug 13th 2007 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/
And if you live in the UK and you have a faulty box that's overheating, you can just return it to your retailer. GAME and others have premium and core 360's in pretty steady supply now.]]>Apr 2nd 2006 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 2nd 2006 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/

What is with this myth? I don't understand. Give your 360 and power supply some room and it should be fine. If that doesn't work get a replacement machine from MS(Still dont understand why most peoples S key is broken).
An absolutely unnecessary device. Can't see why you would waste money on it to be honest, but, hey, it's your cash.

The PS2 "Disc Read Error" wasn't just on early machines. It was on versions 1 - 12 of the console. 13+ seem okay (12+ are slims). Sony was charging consumers $40 to fix it, too. Fixing those unofficially brought in money for me for a while.

There's the XBox and Thompson drives, but I rarely came across that problem. Just don't play burned DVDs in your Xbox and you're fine.

My 360 runs great, and it's a launch console.

Never had a problem with a Nintendo product. ]]>Apr 3rd 2006 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/
The ONLY people who have the so-called overheating problems are the fools who are putting their 360 and power supply in enclosed spaces, on the floor, on top of other heat-producing hardware, or just plain abusing it. I've had one since launch, and I've never felt the console get any warmer than my DVD player.

Yes, the fan is loud in some games, but that doesn't bug me. My 360 is across the room.

This is a device that plays on the hype from the anti-360 people. I work in retail, and we've sold hundreds of 360s, yet have only gotten THREE of them back with defects.

Ridiculous rumors cause ridiculous behavior.]]>Apr 4th 2006 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/

I have mine away from all heat sources, and setting on small blocks at the corners so air can flow under and over it. I also have a large fan blowing on it to cary away the hot air. My xbox is always overheating to the point that I can't even play it anymore. So be happy that you got a good system but don't bad mouth those of us who did not. And by the way I'm a computer engineer so don't acuse me of "abusing" my 360, I know how to treat a computer. I'm sure some of the problems are from people not properly airing the systems, but it's not all of them. So don't call us "fools", becuase MS put out a faulty product.]]>Apr 8th 2006 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Apr 18th 2006 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/overall the whole attitude of release now and patch/fix later is BS and as consumers we need to start banding together and make our voices heard, i want the lastest and greatest NOW but when I call tech support for MSoft, they said in PDZ my game save was corrupted and to delete and try again, 3x F*-that, great game I can never finish? Why don't MS just create a Defrag program for the 360 and make it free d/l content? especially if they know that cache and fragmentated files create issues.
ugh, I give up.

I have my 360 going out for a repair due to malfunctioning hardware plain and simple (so much that they are repairing it for FREE despite the fact it's not under warrenty!). I kept my 360 safe just to prevent heating problems and it STILL happend (I even never played the console more than 3 hours at a time). It overheated itself w/out even being powered on (seriously). The worse part is i'm not sure i'll ever be able to prevent it from happening again. I'm afraid to use the intercooler because I hear it causes whole plethora of problems in it's own right. It's a damn shame that I have to be this cautious in the first place. I've never had to be this careful with any console i've owned. ]]>Jun 27th 2006 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Jun 30th 2006 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Jul 31st 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Sep 5th 2006 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Jan 1st 2008 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/After all, how can cooling it down cause any problems and with such a reasonable price it seems weird to knock it at all.
Only problems I have had with lock-ups and overheating is during my Oblivion binges, often lasting in excess of 8 hours.
During the summer when temperatures soared then I admit problems were plentiful with the game crashing regularly during loading but since buying this i've had no problems.
Albeit the weather is a lot cooler now being Winter and all.]]>Oct 24th 2006 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/Nov 29th 2006 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/02/nykos-xbox-360-intercooler/

this happened to me as well. And, according to the local videogame store, roughly half of the people who bought it. I'm sure this number is exagerated, but even at close to 1% (the number the company claims), those are odds too risky for me to put $400 on.]]>Jul 18th 2008 10:19AM
