I'm scared to turn my 360 on in this sum ...

And my PC's video card just overheated too...omg what do I do? Intercooler maybe?I was also wondering if there's any early indication that the 360 is starting to overheat, so I can moderate how much I play on it.I'm scared to turn my 360 on in this sum ...
I never hear good things about intercoolers. But maybe someone else has. Make sure the 360 has a lot of space around it . as far as moderation just feel the 360 everyonce in a while. I have heard of people having fans blowing on their 360.I'm scared to turn my 360 on in this sum ...
You don't have air conditioning?



Do you live in a cave or something?

I don't have an AC either but I do have a great heater. I COULD buy one buy I'm cheap. Anyway just feel it every once in a while I played my Xbox 360 last summer and it was around 115 here. Just let it rest every hour or so that is what I did.

I wouldn't see the point one of those over here tbh, we never really see the sun.
Do not spring for the Intercooler. I've had no experience with it, but I've read up on it enough and have friends with it. The intercooler actually works your 360 harder therefore generating more heat, thus negating whatever cooling may come from the fans. * Note that the power needed for the intercooler may even be greater than the cooling that its fans provide. * I wouldn't worry too much about it overheating, but make sure it has plenty of space around it and that your room is always well ventilated. If it does end up with the dreaded RROD, you can send it in to MS if its still under warranty, if not then you can always try the fix it using the DIY method found here: http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_of_light_x-clamp_fix.htm



Good luck with all your gaming endeavours
Every once in a While i start to worry when i take my 360 over my buddy's house because it becomes incredibly Hot their and we'll play for 8 to 12 hours and watch a movie or two in the same day so i always have that thought in my head.
It's 99癋 here, cuz I live in the middle-east. So, most of you are quite lucky!
not sure how accurate this is but i heard somewhere that attaching an intercooler to your 360 can affect you warranty so if something happens you could be screwed not 100% sure on that though...also from what ive gathered using an intercooler on the 360 draws more power from the console and sucks the air out of the 360s cooling fans making everything work a lot harder
If your room is that frakken hot there's not much you can do. Intercooler or a Laptop cooler may help a bit but ... there's only so much you can do when you're just redirecting hot air.
What to do is to buy a small cheap fan and place i next to your xbox and that should keep it cool, or even buy a fan with a usb plug and plug that in to ur xbox so it is not taking up space in ur socket.

I'm guessing if you dont have AC, you probably live somewhere a bit up north and you're just going through a heat-wave or something, so just wait for a cooler day.

I mean playing games are fun and i do enjoy it, but is it is that hot go to the beach, get outside you guys are lucky if it is that hot i live in scotland.
If you don't have AC. Buy a fan or two to put around it.

If you can't get your room to a nice cool temperature during the day, then only play your 360 at night. and dont play for like 8hrs straight. Thats my advice.

Yep, the AC is on whenever i'm playing xDthe weather really sucks here!
Install your games on your Xbox. Especially the ones that you will be playing a lot. If you do that it's basically the same thing as watching a movie on xbox. It's quiet as heck.
