adam_ross0 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ok, so most of you know I recently bought my 360. It's going fine so far..but it's getting quite hot sometimes. Not warm, HOT. I had it standing next to my T V...so I thought that the problem was not enough ventilation space. So I moved it elsewhere..now it is horizontal on top of my VCR. I got done with an Oblivion gaming session (woot)...and decided to check. It wasn't hot at all, barely even warm, on the side facing my ceiling. But then I lifted it up..it was warm on the side sitting on the VCR! I checked, the VCR doesn't vent from the top. So..what's my problem? I have 6" in the back for it to ventilate, everywhere else has a few feet. Does it vent out of the side it's sitting on? Do I need to put it elsewhere?

limpbizkit Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Intercooler for long periods. If your like me put it standing up with ALL vents clear. Tif 360 MGC Leaderboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_ross0 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I tried it standing next to my TV standing up..but it didn't have that much room around it, it's a crowded space. I put my PS2 there. Should I see if there's a place I can put it somewhere else? And how much is an intercooler? I might buy one if I can keep it where it is.

adam_ross0 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ok, thanks. Just another question..how loud is the Intercooler? I've noticed that the 360 can be loud, but it becomes almost unoticeable after a while..is the intercooler a loud add-on to the 360 or is it quieter?

runescapeloser22 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It's fine, everything gets hot when you use it, TV, PS3, Wii, Xbox, VCR, Computer, even an N64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It's fine, everything gets hot when you use it, TV, PS3, Wii, Xbox, VCR, Computer, even an N64 But 360's are notorious for overheating...especially fatal.

Ya but, out of everyone I know who has a 360 (which is like 10-15 :P ) none of them have a had a problem with it overheating. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of negative reviews with people saying that it melted the 360 or the intercooler takes up too much power and it caused system failure.
