you can always just open the fan remove the pins from the plug and hook the fans into a ac/dc adapter. you can get a 3-12V 500ma ac/dc adapter for 6$ or 7$

isn't anyone going to follow my advice & get a small floor fan? Like a 5 or 6" fan? It would be almost as good, no worries of it burning up your system

ya, the intercooler isn't a good idea. these were only for those who had the launch 360's right? i don't need any add-on fans if i got a newer 360? i typically only play for 1-2 hours at a time. i only had my 360 freeze once since i had it.
any suggestions? thanks.

No offense , it might work it might be cheap but it looks sh!tty.
However running any fan off the 360 external power might be a bad idea,a AC/DC adapter would be best just because the 360 is flawed.

the 360 is poorly designed the new ones use the same revision as the last their hardware might be a bit more stable than thos at launch,the new revision thats not out yet has a new design to deal with power and heat better.
basically if you got a 360 you a fan of some kind on it unless you have a constant room temp of 60 or below.

As i understand it even the newer 360's are just as likely to overheat and then get the 3 red lights...my nyko is now running off a seperate power source so it runs even when i turn my xbox off, i do this to make sure all the heat is taken away from the chips etc and to touch any part of my 360 its cold like its hasnt been on.
There have also been suggestions that even after gaming its best to go back to the dashboard and let the 360 cool while ideling in the dashboard, this helps to get rid of the heat that would otherwise be trapped in the 360 if u just shut it off.
the main problem with the nyko was something to do with the switch (now removed on newer models) but it still uses the 360 power supply which i wasnt too happy about...hence me modding it.

Not really the fans and heatsinks have been tweaked the new CPU makes less heat all in all its what they should have done to begin with...

what a shame! hope they give you a new one or fix yours. although i heard that they usually just send you a new one. i would keep your hard drive though, or you might not get it back (or get a new one).
good thing microsoft extended their 90 day warranty to a full year. although my warranty is gone anyway since i opened the case. thinking about getting one of them whisper fans with the cool led lighting. how much cooler does this make the case? anyone know? or is it same as the stock fans with just the lighting? thanks.

well since most of their problems revolve around MS that would take care of that,change and update their devices for the 360 then sale their devices with the 360 out of the box,either drop ps"X" devices altother or amke them the even of the world with MS backed warranty,oh there are plenty of things MS could do with Nyko to make them worth the while.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I've modded my 360 about 6 months now and i have the Nyko intercooler to make sure my system would not over heat, not that i had overheating problems to begin with. I plan on getting rid of it and ordering the whisper cooling fan. I might just order a 360 case too. Man, i would have been mad if this NYKO POS had wrecked my 360.

Hey,I was curious,for those of you who have modded your 360's,did you wait for your warranty to expire or just mod it anyways? I really want to mod mine,but I'm afraid if I do,and then I get the red lights or whatever,I'll be screwed.

it looks good altho to me green and blue and red all clash with each other.
Blue and purple blend better,the darker the purple the more evil the appearance :3[/quote]
Yea youre right Im not too hot on the other colours, but I really like the red and blue together. Ive been thinking of changing out the leds to just blue and red changing. Might be something I di in the future.
Right now I leave it on static red or blue with the blue inside making the red sort of "purply"

Actually if its not that old, and you get it from walmart, firmware mod it or whatever, and you mess it up. Take it back, theyre sort of stupid at walmart, theyll swap it you, buddy of mine did it (had his 360 for only 2 weeks though)

aye if they check the serial # when returning the system there would be a big prob. But if they don't check, then they wouldn't know it was your old one or the new one.
