X360 - Any idea about cooling units\' effect on system longevity?
My friend has the Nyko intercooler, another friend doesn't, and I'm considering the Intec Cooling Stand. I've heard that the Nyko intercooler draws from the 360's power supply which can have some adverse effects, but the Intec stand has it's own power supply. I feel how hot they get and I worry about my system's lifespan, so does anyone have any idea if the cooling unit's are doing a good job?

[ QUOTE ] Nyko's Intercooler for the Xbox 360 causes more trouble than it's worth, according to Microsoft representative contacted by Elektriq. The problem is its construction: the Intercooler steals some of the power originating from the supply, decreasing the joules the console actually receives to inadequate levels. One representative even reported that the Intercooler has caused "scorch marks" on the console. For those who simply must have a cooling accessory, one Microsoft representative suggested the Pelican Fan Stand, whose power comes from a USB input. Microsoft does not make a first-party cooling unit, although you're more than welcome to throw the console in the freezer in between play sessions. [/ QUOTE ] |
