Firstly, I would like to point out that I have seen and researched many posts and threads on this, and I can only imagine everyone has a headache, but I would like an answer to my setup and a final stamp on this issue.
My Xbox 360 is sitting (laying across) on-top of the Xbox's box dented on the top so air can pass in and out beneath it. I have it placed about 50 cm away from an open window (directly across it) and on either side their is more then enough room for it to breathe.
I play the Xbox for about 2 - 3 hours take a break say for an hour or two, and go back to playing it for another 2 or 3 hours. Maybe some days I play it longer.
Anyways is the intercooler (the one that plugs in with a separate power supply) good?, best intercooler?, is it Bad ? Should I get one (from ebay - Aussie buyer try and get a non-chinese one hopefully) I don't care about voiding my warranty (already have).
I have the Jasper model Xbox, manufactured I believe in November 15 2009. (I think the new one)
thanks for answers sorry for long post. I know I am overdoing it but I really don't want an RROD (try preventing it as much as I can) Bought the 360 200$ and got it modded 150$ (I know rip), don't want it to go off at me and lose all that money.

Dont bother with the intercool, you have a jasper so you should be fine.
waste of money indeed. all they do is push air and everything else into system like animal hair, dust, dirt, you name it. i would just leave the window open and leave plenty of space for it to breathe.
I remember reading somewhere that external fans HAVE to be matched in speed (RPM & CFM) to the internal fans... thats the only way to acheive more air flow. If you have 2 fans, both producing different CFM's, they kinda work against eachother, cancelling themselves out (something along those lines - memory is vague).. but that was what I got from that... they have to be matched, or its useless.
