Customer Reviews

- It does a good job, but super noisey
This product works really well at turning on when the xbox starts pushing out warm air, and it often will stay on for a minute or at least 20 seconds after I've turned off the xbox, so it continues to cool it down. The only problem I have with it, is the Noise. The Xbox 360 is already a noisy console, this just makes it worse. Sometimes the fans on the intercooler will get out of balance or something happens where it makes a screaching sound. It goes away after a few seconds, or if I give it a Tap. But the reason I got this, is to have something that turns on/off automatically but runs on it's own power source and keeps my old elite system from overheating.

My Advise... If your buying an Xbox, do your homework and make sure your buying a Jasper verson (there are plenty of guides out there on how to do this.) If you have an older xbox, well if you haven't had your 1st RROD let it die first and get it re-furbed maybe you'll get lucky and get the new processor that runs cooler, otherwise this is a good product, just be ready to hear it.

- Used to be HOT now COOL to the touch
This cooler makes all the difference in the world for me. My 360 used to get so hot that I worried whether I would see the red rings again but after running this Intercooler for two days so far, my 360 doesn't even get warm now and that's not an exaggeration. It's actually cool to the touch. Great product.

- Increased my problems
Before I got the device I played Blue Dragon (the problem happened most frequently in this game but also in others). After a while of playing the colors would become fudged. It's difficult to explain exactly what they looked like except to say that it was essentially all light-blue and green making the game unplayable. If I turned off the 360 and turned it back on immediately the colors would return to normal and I could continue playing. I wasn't sure as to whether this was actually due to heat buildup or not as restarting the 360 seemed to fix the problem. But I decided to buy the TS in the hopes that it would help.

Unfortunately, after installing the TS the same problem would occur, however, much more frequently and restarting the 360 made no difference to the problem.

This seems to indicate that the TS actually traps heat as the power isn't drawn from the 360 and it certainly wouldn't make it too cool.

Anyway, the bottom line for me is that it made my problem worse so I stopped using it.

Rating:

- Too noisy to be useful
I'm sure this product performs as advertised. It assists the xbox 360 fans in removing hot air from inside of the unit.
However, for living room use the product is basically unusable due to how loud the fans are. Nyko really should've used higher quality fans that were more quiet. I can't recommend this product due to this issue alone.

Rating:

- Significantly Quieter and Smaller than the Intercooler EX
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.
