Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler 4th time for Xbox 360 RROD

If you don't get the label soon I would call and ask about the printing option.

I received my coffin today. I am including the letter below with my xbox... maybe they will give me console that won't die in a few months.

I won it at a Microsoft launch event I was at a couple weeks ago.

I am hoping to get a replacement Jasper unit. Either way I doubt we get the same console shipped backed.

out of the 3 boxes I have sent in so far, 1 was replaced with a different unit and the other 2 times the same one was "fixed" and sent back to me.

We shall see what the future has in store for console number 5.

Once again, I recommend a Nyko intercooler as added insurance.

Do those things really work? I heard that they may cause more harm than good... How is the fan noise?

I haven't read about any harm they may cause... they remove heat much more efficiently than the standard fan. Nyko's latest version has a temp sensor that turns on automatically and stays on about 30 secs after power down. I'd say the fan noise is a little louder than when the drive is spinning (in other words, with both the DVD drive spinning and the fans running it is louder than without the intercooler), so there is that to consider.

I remember reading that, too, on several gaming blogs a long time ago. I haven't read anything on it for ages, though.

360 is now off for repair.

I swear I remember reading years ago about intercoolers, 360's and the term melting all in the same sentence.

The Nyko TS version has its own power supply, and won't void the warranty. I haven't used the Xbox much since I got the intercooler, so I can't say yay or nay on whether it's beneficial.
