Well im pist off.

[OcR GamePlayer]

For everyone who has the intercooler that plugs into the back of your xbox 360. Take it off. It froze up my hard drive. Im so pist off right now. The beta comes out on wednesday and i dont have my hard drive. I'm so pist off. They are sending me a box, so i can send them my hard drive so they can fix it. THANK GOD FOR WARANITY. But i found a solution for me to still play. I'm going out and buying a memory card so i can recover my account on there, so i can play the halo 3 beta. Sorry i had to vent. This is a warning to all members. TAKE OFF THE INTERCOOLER THAT CONNECTS THROUGH YOUR POWER UNIT, IT WILL FRY YOUR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. Take it from someone who it did it to. Buy the stand one. Its a lil more expensive, but it wont fry your hard drive. The reason it does this is because it uses your power source. When it uses your power source its making your xbox run harder. So get rid of it.

This was a known issue actually. The company that makes innercooler will replace your stuff as well. You should look up their contact number.

Make sure you get atleat a 1GB+ Memory Card as the Beta is 911MB.

Those who are interested I use the Pelican System for an extra fan.

[OcR Dragon]

How exactly does that happen? I have one of those but haven't noticed any problems.

[OcR Envy]

It hooks directly into your power supply. Because of this if the connection isn't really tight it will send more juice then you need thus overheating!

[OcR Dragon]

Oh yeah of course lol. I thought it was like if just by using it, the thing would mess up your system. Yeah I have mine in as tight as it can go and I check every time before I turn it on ;) I also will check while playing how hot it is getting (which it never even gets hot) but I still check just in case.

I never liked anything that made your system stand up personally, I found it to scratch my games a lot more than having it sit normal. That's why I didn't get one of those stands with the fans in them.

[OcR GamePlayer]

No by using it, it does mess it up. It being loose isnt the reason. Since it uses your power source. It makes your xbox run harder. Makes it run ahrder to power the 3 fans, and to power your xbox properly. I would just get rid of it to save you a headache, and saving you to send in your xbox.

[Hbomb]

Definitely do not use the intercooler. And sorry sick for your bad luck.

[OcR GamePlayer]

Ya i know it sucks. I have to get a memory card that will hold a gig so i can play the halo 3 beta lol.

Well i wont be able to then. Cuz he memory cards are only 64mb i think.

[OcR Envy]

Actually any USB Key will work as a memory card Sick.

[OcR GamePlayer]

What do you mean any usb key? Like a jump drive.

[OcR Dragon]

I think he means those portable USB memory sticks that you can download stuff to and plug it into anything that has a USB port.

I know they have them at Best Buy, and I don't think there expensive.

I would take the fan off but I don't want it to over heat because you can barely play it with out it over heating like crazy. Also I know there were tons of problems with this when it first hit the market, but they have made a lot of changes to it since then. Also if the 360 wasn't getting enough power then it would simply not work. Or give you those flashing red lights, which means in that case its not getting enough power. I've ran the system with and with out the intercooler and didn't notice a single difference in performance. I think it's really good it's just you really need to be careful using it and keep a close eye on it.

[Letthe]

Does the intercooler come attached to the Pro system? Or do you have to buy it separate?

[OcR Dragon]

It's a seperate product. It is just some thing that you buy to keep your system cool. It's like $20 at GameStop.

Exactly what I said a USB Key. I have a 1 GB One I bought for like $25

[OcR GamePlayer]

Yup they would work. Or i could get a 20 g one for the 360 for 80$ from Gamestop.

[TN GUNRUNNER]

Dude thx for the warning i was thinking about getting one of thoes for my 360 good looking out man

[OcR GamePlayer]

No problem, i'd rather help you guys out from my mistakes than you guys making the same ones.

[i AwoN i]

That sucks... I have a problem with the beta too. Um, I have crackdown but I didn't open it yet. I can't open my disc tray on my xbox360, is there aynway I can activate the code without putting the disc in or no? Does anybody know if like blockbuster or one of those places rents 360s for a week or so?

[I x DonT o MoD]

like those little flash drives that ppl carry around on their necks i think is wat he is talking about

[OcR Asians]

When you buy the Xbox 360, does it already come with a warranty? I'm not sure xP.

[TN GUNRUNNER]

asian : yes they do
A1: i think that you cold try to pry it open but its up to my friends does that and he takes a butter knife to it bec there is a lever that u push down to release the tray
Game: ya u could just use a flash drive for a comp it u have a 360

[OcR GamePlayer]
