None. See my analogy. ↓↓↓↓

The Nyko Intercooler is no longer being made, they have been replaced with the Nyko Intercooler EX. The Intercooler's power plug was made of plastic, and so melted to the 360. The new Intercooler EX is just a newer model of the Intercooler, the main difference being the power plug is now metal, so it no longer melts to the 360.

Paint has a brilliant analogy above, which is true, and quite funny at the same time..I think the best cooler is a laptop cooler that your laptop just sits on top of, and so does the 360. Since they use a separate power source there wont be any issues.

sorry dont know anything about that cooler...The only coolers i know that are 100% safe, are laptop coolers because they dont connect to the 360 in any way, they just simply lie underneath the console. I dont have one, i personally have the Intercooler EX(had the intercooler, it melted to my 360, sent it in to Nyko for free repair, and they sent me a new console, Intercooler EX and a free Universal Remote for taking longer then they said ) Ive stopped using the Intercooler EX though. I might put it back on again next summer, not sure..atm, over-heating isnt a concern, its freezing, lol. My room is basically staying at outside temps which is around 0 degrees and so my 360 overheating is of no concern, lol. During the summer i might use it again..duno right now.

As far as that cooler, like i said, i dont know anything about it, but it uses a seperate power device so i cant see it causing any problems..

if u have a elite pass on this because it doesn't have hdmi port.

you should get a Pelican Air Flo 360, it doesn't use the power slot on the xbox360, it uses the usb ports, since it uses both of the back ports then put 4 on the top of the unit.

If your 360 has HDMI and you put that on it will cover the HDMI port.

I have the EX. It's pretty loud though all of them are. It works like a charm. I would recommend it.

I would avoid anything that cuts off power from the console. (the InterCooler) The one you posted earlier seems like a better choice. It looks like it functions exactly as the InterCooler, except it has its own power source.
