Xbox 360 Overheating? You Could Always Try This

The Xbox 360′s famous Red Ring Of Death was usually caused by overheating inside the console. We’ve seen many backyard solutions claiming to fix this, but none as elaborate – or possibly effective – as this.

It may not be easy on the eye, and certainly won’t win any awards for style, but piping a wall-mounted air conditioner directly into the console is about as brutal a cooling solution as you’re going to find.

The new Xbox 360 S models are reportedly a lot more reliable than the older Elite pictured here, which is great news for consumers, but bad news for lovers of DIY Apollo 13 gaming mods.

    My old one Red Ringed me not too long ago (Just after I bought FIFA 11). My heart skipped a beat. Luckily for me, I just turned it off, waited a few minutes, turned it back on again, and it hasn’t happened again.

    Mine suffered a terminal RROD 10 minutes after the midnight launch of Halo: Reach. I was a sad Panda.
