Nyko Intercooler STS for Xbox 360 Slim: Aren’t These Not Supposed to Overheat?
March 16th, 2011
While Microsoft might not approve of Nyko’s Intercooler, if you’re worried about your Xbox 360 Slim overheating, you haven’t got many options available. However, unlike the original console, the Xbox 360 Slim isn’t supposed to overheat much, but you know what, it’s probably better to be safe than sorry.
Nyko’s Intercooler STS was made to work exclusively with the black Xbox 360 Slim. It has a temperature sensor that makes the fan only run when you actually need it, and power comes directly from the Xbox’s USB ports. It blends in pretty nicely with the look of the Xbox 360 too.
The Intercooler STS is currently available for $20 (USD), so it’s not that much to pay to have peace of mind during a marathon gaming session.

Looks cool for a cooler.
Got it from my girlfriend for christmas.
Works good really, it keeps the hot air that builds up by the slim flowing and it pushes it forward, since I’ve had it the actual console itself has not gotten hot.
It is also temp. sensored and works well.
I have a better one …. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezcgRsuD4Aw
had mine almost a year. after a few months it became very dusty on the blades inside and noisy as h3ll. its supposed to cool the 360 as soon as it gets hot, but mine turns on as soon as the 360 is turned on. nothing from nyko to offer assistance on either.
Like strife, I had mine but for over a year. Each of my kids have a slim and so do I. Both of their intercoolers took a dump, so you have to watch them. One started making bearing failure type noises and the other one just quit working altogether (maybe a thermal sensor fail) and caused one XBOX to become really warm and freeze. No red rings yet, though.
