DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS FROM NYKO [Posted on 2008-07-11] I purchased the intercooler fan about a year ago and have had it connected to my xbox360 until recently when the consol began not working anymore. I attempted to take the intercooler off of the xbox360 only to find that i could not, it turns out that it had fused to the plugs on the 360 somehow. I sent the consol back to xbox and they stated that the warrenty was voided due to using a third party's hardware. I mentioned this same problem to a friend who had the exact same thing happen to his xbox360 as well. I have had nothing but bad things happen when buying any Nyko products (battery charger....) DO NOT BUY FROM NYKO, they apparently do not care about engineering a product compatible with the 360.........
Listen to the other reviews, I didn't [Posted on 2008-07-14] Many people have complained about this melting or burning to the back of their 360. I didn't heed those warnings and decided to purchase the product anyways assuming it must be something they are doing wrong. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. First I keep my system in a well ventilated area but figured the extra fans couldn't hurt right...WRONG...Everything worked fine for a few weeks when all of a sudden the intercooler had some sort of freak out session that sent a puff of smoke into the air and left the plastic melted to the back of my 360. I literally had to get a utility knife to cut the plastic apart to remove the unit. My 360 still works; however, if something were to go wrong with it I don't know if I'd still qualify for the warranty as my case has burn marks which I'm sure Microsoft would consider neglect or abuse. Trust me, stay away from this product.
Product Sucks [Posted on 2008-07-21] I love my xbox and used the cooler every time i played then it burnt out my xbox over heated and i had to buy a new one.
Noisy but Functional [Posted on 2008-07-22] These coolers seem to have a problem with getting very noisy suddenly, like something is binding up inside one of the fans. It has happened to me twice, i traded the other one back in now my new one does it too. They start off fine then suddenly BAM!
That being said the cooler is very functional and helpful in cooling off your xbox. I couldn't believe the amount of heat this pulled out.
Works fine for me. [Posted on 2008-09-30] Just wanted to toss in my two cents. I bought this cooler at a local retail store and have been using this fan with my Xbox 360, bought when they first came out, and I have no problems what-so-ever. Before I bought this cooler my 360 would get hot enough to skip while playing videos and sometimes games would freeze. After I installed this cooler I can play videos fine and haven't seen a frozen game screen since.
My only downside to this cooler is that it makes pulling out the power plug a lot harder. This could be annoying when you travel a lot.
