if your really cheap and dont want to pay for a laptop cooling solution, then you could always just put a (the kind that are rectangular) underneath and have it blow.


**I believe there are several companies that make water cooling devices for the x360, but i'm pretty sure that would violate your warranty.

the x360 is moving to a 65nm technology in 2007, meaning it will consume less power and put out less heat. good things i'm waiting until h3 drops before i buy my x360. i wouldn't be surprised if the processor was slightly more powerful as well.

i think the ps3 is going to be putting out double the power of what the 360 does... or it uses twice as much power or something like that...

Whenever I play Halo 2 on my 360 now, the drive starts to sound like it's in overdrive and the fans sound like they're working overtime. Is this an overheating problem or something else? It started doing these strange things on Saturday. any help is appreciated.
