I dunno about that. I have the previous model Intercooler on mine and it's all good.

I also had an Intercooler on an older 360. One day I was playing when I started to smell plastic burning. Around the base of the Intercooler was melted plastic. I don't know if that has something to do with the design, or a product flaw with the plastic, but I stopped using it afterwards. I should note, that it was attached to a launch 360, but nonetheless I was put off buying future revisions based on product feedback.

The first generation models were horrible. The Amazon reviews are pretty revealing. Look for the 2006 model, the very first design.

Thats not to say future revisions aren't improved, however its a hard call to make if you want to risk your 360's warranty if these prove to be faulty.

I don't worry about keeping my 360 S cool considering the redesign however for those that are paranoid or have older 360's there are better options. The Antec USB Powered Notebook Cooler is pretty good and what I've used for years. Plus, its cheap at about $20 usd.

@Blindfromthesun - the reason for it is because it actually draws power directly from where the 360 is getting it's power from too. If it was USB the 360 could regulate it, but it was designed to steal power as it went into the 360. This caused the melting issues and was extremely dangerous to the 360.

I'm assuming they've fixed this now. Still the new 360's are perfectly cool, this is totally pointless!

Tnks...I think its wrong that is going for sell. Thats just like u selling a car to some one and u knw the car will give u problems so the company makes a soloution for the problem but tells u u have to buy the soloution.I think its monopoly at is finest, a way for ms to get extra cash.

@etownone Y call me an idiot.Im sure ur just one of those pre teens going throw puberty that cant make a mature rply. :/

Couldn't agree more.It's like all those useless Nintendo Wii third-party peripherals.
