360 cooling solutions

[Deak]

Hey guys im new to this forum so hang with me here.Ok I am considering to
go out and buy a 360 next month but with all the heating problems and all
im kinda scared lol.Now to the point,ok if I put the 360 on its side on a mini
fridge do you think it would help and also do you think pc fans hooked up to a
ac/dc apdapter would solve the heating problem.Thank you for you time.


P.S when I said put the 360 on the fridge I meant ontop of it TY

I used a cooling fan that mounts on the back of the 360, but that caused more problems than anything. I run it as it was when I first bought it. I've never had a problem with it. Just keep the vents clear and give it good air flow and you'll be fine. Mine is over a year old.

Umm.....won't the outside of the fridge be hot? Anyway, there isn't really much you can do to prevent the problems. You will probably just have to use the warranty.

i wonder if you just put in in the fridge lol it will constantly be cold air for the system

But it would get moisture in it. Plus being cold isn't good for it either.

well fridges usually have a low humidity and i just assumed the 40 or so degrees would be better than the 120 that people are saying

What if I put a thin piece of carboard between the Xbox and fridge.I meanthe whole reason was to transfer heat through the 360 to the fridge.My fridge's top is like 60 ontop (it's kinda an old one I know it doesn't work to well) So with 60? degrees with a cardboard barrier between the two
would there still be condensation?

PS I suck at science

if the top of the fridge is 60 degrees why would you need cardboard that would just stop the cold top of the fridge from touching the hot console. without the cardboard the 360 would be a little closer to the 60 degrees. or you could put like a big plastic container on the top of the 360 and fill it with ice lol

Stand it in an AC vent.

[Gregtheman10]

or......you could just submerge the 360 in ice, the hot air coming out of the vent would melt the ice instantly. *360 electricutes, then water starts boiling..*
