XBox 360 red ring of death / NYKO Intercooler EX?

Question

I was playing my 360 the other day and in the middle of a game I got the RRoD. I turned my system off for a few minutes and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine...havent had a problem since. I have a NYKO Intercooler EX that is still in the box (Dont remember where I got it from LOL....I think it was a presant) and I was wondering on if I should hook that up or not. Has anyone heard any problems that this intercooler causes? Does anyone use one and do they have any problems with any games?

Thanks in advance :-)

JulieIsBest is correct.

The Nyko intercoolers are not approved as an official xbox accessory, so if you ring them up and tell them you attached a Nyko intercooler they'll tell you your warranty is void.

The problem:  "The Intercooler steals some of the power originating from the supply, decreasing the joules the console actually receives to inadequate levels. One representative even reported that the Intercooler has caused "scorch marks" on the console." - Joystiq.com

Advice: Don't use it. It will burninate your Xbox!

Answer 3

Intercoolers don't work it makes the xbox get even hotter and they void your warranty. Even if you don't tell them they can tell ifyou used them. Try putting it somewhere with good air circulation. Like putting a fan behind it or something. It fixed mine.  

Answer 4

If you hook up the intercooler and it happens again, do NOT mention it when you call Microsoft to get some help.  THEY WILL TRY TO FOOL YOU.  They will go through troubleshooting stuff and ask "Well, did you try a fan or cooler?" SAY NO.  Using that third party equipment can void your warranty and give them an out not to help you.

i heard that an intercooler can also cause the rrod so id let the 360 cool down by it self
