Q: Ok everybody....I'll be receiving my Xbox360 in a month or so as gift.... There seems to be an issue with an Xbox360 that is the RROD [Red Ring Of Death] ..... In most cases it the overheating issue ..... (won't go into detail) ..... There are no pets in my house nor there is much dust generated.... I also don't mind voiding my warranty so can I just keep the console fully open (i.e. Taking out the covers/flaps/hinges etc that is cover the console) so that it runs more cool for long...... I've done that to my desktop Cabinet and it helps my desktop runs much more faster & cooler..... So all I wanted to know is that will it help if I do the same to the console?
A: The RRoD can indicate more than an overheating issue. It's a general hardware failure which can me a number of things and it's not worth voiding your warranty to prevent overheating. Do NOT buy the Intercooler as it draws it's power from the 360 itself and is known to cause overheating. Also it leaves scorch marks which will void your warranty with MS. My advice is to just use it normally and if you happen to get the RRoD, send it in to get it fixed or have it replaced.
