Xbox 360 Intercooler TS

Unit is VERY noticeably quieter and smaller than the Intercooler Ex. Auto on/off function is great, that way the 360 starts up quiet and as you play games turns on as needed. Great improvement over the EX.

EDIT: After using this for the last week I wish I could take the review up another star. The TS is actually keeping the entire 360 cool to the touch, even the games are now coming out at room temp instead of on fire. And like I said before, the sound is WAYYY less than the EX, not a whole lot louder than a computer.

EDIT: Pushing 5 months and absolutely no problem with my 360...gets used daily and is working like a charm :)

The Nyko intercooler TS is the long awaited cooler to finally put rest to the problems of the past (draining power from the console), but it falls short of delivering the ultimate solution. For people in warm to hot climates (Caribbean) like me, the problem of the Xbox 360 overheating is very serious, as i can testify that my first one went the way of the RROD, even with a fan next to it.

Nyko's new product does works as advertised, it gets some hot air out, but to my surprise it does have a mixed effect on the console performance. While playing Gears of War i noticed that the intercooler caused some noticeable lag that was not present before. In my opinion it is because the fans are under powered (low RPM) and to that you add that the intercooler blocks the original fans exhaust, resulting in a half way solution, or increased problems.

What i am doing now is a combination of two imperfect products:

I have had this product for three days so far as it says in the product summary it has a temperature control. Since it has a external ac adapter you do not have to worry anymore of the product ruining your Xbox anymore. i found that what it advertised is true. It doesn't turn off when you turn off your console if the console is still hot. I found this a very nifty feature. I think it is worth it for the old and new consoles since we know The RROD mostly happens when the console overheats i would say this product those its job.
