cooler does not work on new xbox April 26, 2008

 DO NOT BUY! April 24, 2008
This Device will void your XBox's Warrenty due to the fact that it can cause your xbox to eiter melt because the power supply is not ment to power this product and the xbox or it will cause loose connections within the xbox because of vibration caused by this device. Also it is very loud...
Kind of messed up my 360 April 19, 2008
It kept my 360 cool, but after about a month I started getting the 3 red blocks(where the player green icons are) and it pretty much means that something isnt connected properly. After having my game messed up several times, I removed the cooler on the back, and never had the problem again. Also I had my 360 since they came out, and still use it and i never overheated, so buying this is pretty much worthless
 People are confusing the EX with previous versions April 15, 2008

Alright, I've seen all these people unfairly giving the Intercooler EX 1's, and I just thought, I'd add another review from the few of us who've actually used it and gave it a chance, despite the original's reputation.
I purchased a defective 360 on ebay for cheap to send in for repairs last October, and I received a refurbished replacement from Microsoft at the beginning of November. Now, most of you who've had experience with those refurbs know it can be hit or miss on the quality/longevity of your replacement. Knowing this, I bought an Intercooler EX to try and keep it alive at least long enough to play Mass Effect when it came out.
It's been over 6 months, and it's still running like a new console. It's never overheated, and even after 10+ hours with some graphics-heavy game like Oblivion or Lost Odyssey, it's never chugged up, and it's only slightly warm to the touch, cool compared to what it's like without it on, even with the AC on. The only con is, it's loud as hell. But I have a surround sound setup, so it's not as noticeable for me.
Listen, it's not going to melt to the back of your console. That problem was with the old Intercoolers that had a plastic connector to go into the 360 where the power brick's cable originally did. The EX's connector is metal, like the 360s. Why it was originally plastic, I have no idea, but if a short happened it would fuse to the back of the system.
The small bit of power it leeches off the system seems to be a concern for certain reviewers, as well. The 360 power supply is rated for more voltage than the 360 itself needs. The excess goes to supplying various peripherals you attach to the system (charge kit, guitar, USB keyboard, etc.).
Even with this, you still need to take care of your system. Do what Microsoft says, give it plenty of ventilation on a hard surface (I keep mine on a table with 2ft+ of free space on all but the HDD side), give it its OWN power outlet, make sure the power brick itself isn't on the carpet (it has an internal fan), and if you keep your 360 vertical, make sure noting is going to tip it over. besides, you can give it more air by keeping it vertical and maybe having a fan blow air into that side vent from a few feet away.
In short, don't expect it to work miracles and then complain on here or somewhere else if you treat your console like crap already by boxing it up in a enclosed entertainment center or something. If you use it properly the Intercooler EX will keep your console cool and less prone to 3RL.
And if, by some chance, the console breaks, and Microsoft refuses to fix it (Protip: probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell them you were using the fan ;) ) NYKO will fix or replace it for free.
