NYKO intercooler
this is an excellent piece of kit..ive had mine for about a week and in my opinion a must buy product for the 360. It clips to the back and has 3 fans that draw the heat out of your 360 keeping it nice and cool. Seriously i have done 5-6 gaming sessions and the 360 is not hot one bit and also i have had no game freezes in oblivion. Any one else got one and what do you think ?

re: NYKO intercooler
it works very well, my machine remains cool even after 4-5 hours solid gaming..and i dont know if this is as a result of the NYKO intercooler but i suffered from the odd game freezes in oblivion but since putting it on i have had no game freezes, and i would recommend this to everyone with a 360.

Hey guys i must agree mint peice of kit get them while there hot from
Well i personally would tell u guys not to touch it with a barge pole - got mine today - connected it now my 360 is DEAD!
I regret this big time - got mine from www.divineo.co.uk too - maybe i was just unlucky - but like i said 360 DEAD - thatd £300 down the drain.

re: NYKO intercooler
You do realise xbox 360's have this new thing called a warranty. Call them and they will sort it.

re: NYKO intercooler
Yeah microsoft said they wouldnt replace it (as non official add ons not covered in their policy) but blagged a new ne from retailer :P - as it was only 6 weeks old....but still i know wont be buying no un official products for 360 especially ones that pluig into power support - i build PC'c and thinking abt what i did it was dumb should of known better - AVOID THIS PRODUCT IS MY ADVICE!

re: NYKO intercooler
Hey i had the same thing plugged it in 3 red lights took it out worked again,so i moved xbox away from the power supply tryed it again making sure that the cooler snapped into place properly bingo been working real sweet since.
Having this to close to the power supplt will cause this to shut down because of the heat blown from the fans onto the power supply wich will cut off when it eceeds its safety temp.

Does this generate a lot of noise?
If it clips into the back of the unit can I still use my wireless network kit?

To the guy who's 360 got broken....
You actually TOLD microsoft that you were using a 3rd party addon, and never just said that your 360 just failed by itself?
Have you got any brain cells?
At least you got it replaced by the retailer, but still...
You're not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?
You're depriving a village of an idiot.
You're one sandwich short of a picnic.
Etc, etc. ;)

re: NYKO intercooler
The intercooler is designed to reduce overall heat inside the machine. This will only have a very marginal effect on the components that regularly break down in 360's due to heat. Still any reduction could extend the life of such a delicate machine. Most retailers will swap dud machines particularly GAME who have a deal with Msoft to cover the whole warranty period!!! I have been able to change my 360 3 times at Game but now the warranties nearly over I hope it don't happen again.
-Oh yeah thumbs up to the Nyko thingy
