Re: Xbox 360 Intercooler

EB doesn't have these, you'll have to get it off of Gamestop.

Re: Xbox 360 Intercooler

Ah I see. So does the intercooler make a huge difference in cooling the system? I would imagine it's blowing more air out the back.

1)Can you feel more air being pushed out the back?

2)How's the noise level of the fans?

Hey when you get a chance try this test to see how effective the Intercooler really is. Use a Kleenex then a sheet of paper for the test. First remove the Intercooler, then turn on the 360. Take your Kleenex and place it in front and close to the sides of the 360. See if the Kleenex trys to move towards the vent holes as if it were going to be sucked into the unit. Then use the piece of paper which is more rigid and will take more air to get it to move towards the vent holes.

Now install the Intercooler and try the test again and see if the both the Kleenex and sheet of paper gets pulled faster towards the vent holes. If it does then it shows that the Intercooler is sucking and pulling more air from all the vent holes of the 360 thereby naturally cooling the machine.

Yes, you can feel the air being pushed through? There are 3 fans blowing air out and yes it's more air coming out than before. Everytime I play the 360, I have a bad habit where I place my hand behind the system to feel the air coming through.

The noise is the one drawback for me. It makes it sound much louder and you can hear the 3 fans running. If it keeps my system cool, I have no complaints.

If I get a chance, I'll try this test tomorrow night. I really think it's pulling air as it feels like it.

They do now... oh the wonders of EB and Gamestop being one big happy family now... if you've not seen me say it other threads, I'm not a fan of Gamestop at all.

And when you're done with that, try powering the system on WITH the intercooler attached, with an XBox1 game inside, and instead of using kleenex, try toilet paper. And after that, take out the XBox1 game, and put in any game made by EA, and try the same thing with a paper towel.

Now, uninstall the intercooler, go put on a white t-shirt and a baseball cap and power the XBox up with Halo2 inside while singing any song originally recorded by the Temptations. Then tell me what happens... :wink:

Re: Xbox 360 Intercooler

candy, how is it working, I bought one too, I do have the fan stand, but I think this one looks better.

Can't say I'm surprised at all.

Why don't you just buy some dry ice, and put the 360 in it and then play.

Re: Xbox 360 Intercooler

I think I'm going to try and keep both hooked up for the ultimate cooling.....LOL

Is it possible to have the fan stand and intercooler?

I was wondering the same?

Re: Xbox 360 Intercooler

it all depends on how far the intercooler will stick out, the USB cord doesn't have that much slack as it is, it looks like the intercooler will be in the way
