that was causing it. I had this on a old 360 that got the RROD. I sent it that 360 twice trying to get it fixed, then realized it was this P.O.S. Honestly, the best thing you can go if you're worried about heat is to buy a small fan, and point it into the grate on the side of the 360, keep it off carpet, and elevate it off the ground. Don't waste you money, like I unfortunately did.
On the plus side the XBox didn't die in the last year with moderate use, but the Nyko didn't last a year. This thing is loud enough that you can hear it being on from the next room. I wouldn't want to watch any content that had quiet parts with this thing in the room. It still looks brand new, without even any dust on it, so it's not exactly a harsh environment. As is typical with small dollar purchases and the high price of gas, it makes as much sense to throw it out as to repair/replace with the same annoying device.
Do not buy this all you will do is more harm to your xbox and your self then is necessary. First off the thing is extraordinary loud (you think the xbox fans are loud now, this thing is like being next to a airplane engine) second the bottom fan died on me with in a week (I only used it twice because of how loud it was), so on in on it's very bad product that if you do buy your not going to use it for more then 10 minutes before you think, wow I could have used that money for something better that won't sit in its original box in the attic for a year in a half like mine has and will continue.
Helped cool my 360 a whole lot. Didn't have to shut down to cool anymore. Continously played for 4 hours without worry of overheating.
Not unbearably loud, but annoying (bearings in fans fail)Steals power from the motherboard.possibly leading to RROD/failure.Also.newer TS model seems better since it has its own power cord and temperature sensor. One of the original ones (plastic power adapter) and newer (metal power adapter). I've owned two of these. HOWEVER if this unit fails as some say it has, it will actually block air from exiting your xbox since the fans don't turn on. Pros:Does it's job very well. 360 was noticeably cooler under stress.Looks decentIf it fails (noise only), it still pumps air out [see TS review below]Cons:Both units became very noisy after a few months. This pretty much guarantees you frying your xbox. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
