    Just stay away from them in general. At best, they void your warranty, which has been extended to three years to cover this anyway.

    I've got one of the Nyko ones and no issues with it after several months other than being loud as hell added to the 360s already excessive noise. Definitely made a large difference in playability, though. No more DREs after 2 hrs of playing.

    What did you hear bad about the Nyko Intercooler? I know I read some reports of them causing power issues and melting the socket on the 360, but that was apparently a 1st gen issue and they were redesigned according to further research that I probably can't find again.

    I've heard that the cooling fans actually blow hot air into the console, not cool air.
