Seriously, I play Halo 3 Campaign for 2-6 hours. I also use the Xbox 360 to watch movies and play Custom Games with my dad.

The Xbox 360 is turning my room into a heater with repeated use. I usually play around night time and I have difficulty sleeping. I have to resort to using two big fans to help me sleep.

So I'm planning on going to Gamestop to buy one.

Your thoughts?

If you play a hella lot then maybe. But my friend got one and it makes A LOT of noise and he hates it.

go to walmart and buy the intercooler TS, it works well.

however, if you have a newer jasper chipset in your 360, i wouldnt worry about RROD and even if you get it, MS repairs it for free.

Oh I'm not worried about getting RROD. I just need something to reduce the temperature of my room.

And to those who say getting a cooling fan might be too loud, I disagree. Having slept with two fans every night, I don't have a problem with the loud noises.

Anyways, I've read the reviews for these intercoolers and they sure are frightening.

But what about fan stands?

Yeah get one if you want it to get RRoD faster.

If your going to get one which wouldn't be a horrible idea defiantly look at all the customer reviews that will show what would most likely work best and i thought cooling fans would void your warranty on the 360?
