Anyone who owned an original white Xbox 360 worried about the console overheating and experiencing the red ring of death. While Microsoft has since fixed that flaw, game consoles that are used for long periods of time do overheat. That’s why it’s worth investing a measly few bucks to protect your $400-plus gaming investment.
Nyko’s Intercooler EX increases air flow away from the console. The device, which connects to the back of the console and allows for either vertical or horizontal display, is completely plug-and-play. The Intercooler runs off the Xbox 360’s power, so there’s no additional strain on your power grid. No matter how often you use your 360 to play games or watch movies, this small investment goes a long way in extending the life of your console.
