Its well known that the Xbox 360 console tends to run hot, really hot. Heat is an issue that the manufacturer has been battling since the console made its debut. Its the main cause of system failure and most people don’t know there are products available to help remedy this problem. Below we will go over the various ways to cool your Xbox 360 internally.

Its important to attack the issue from the inside of the console because thats where the heat comes from. External Xbox 360 cooling fans do not do a good job of cooling the console as they just accelerate the air flow coming out the back of the console. To really make a difference you need to change or accelerate the air flow from within the console and we offer several products which do just that.

Cooling Solutions for your Xbox 360:

XCM High Speed Air Cooler v2.0 for Xbox 360 - This cooling mod for the Xbox 360 consists of a case fan, temperture probe for gpu/cpu and an external LCD panel to monitor the temps from within the console. The cooling fan included has more air flow than the stock OEM fan and is controlled by the LCD panel automatically. This is one of the first cooling mods to come to the market and is still one of the most popular. It does a great job and when coupled with a Core Cooler (below) it makes for one of the best internal cooling solutions available for your Xbox 360 today.

XCM Core Cooler v2 – Red LED for Xbox 360 - The XCM Core Cooler v2 line of internal cooling mods for the Xbox 360 is by far the most effective cooling solution available today. In fact if you only do one thing to your console to help cool it, this is it. This Xbox 360 cooling mod consists of 2 fans available in Green, Blue or Red LEDs. These fans sit on the sides of the heatsink inside your console and will help to push more air over the heatsink which will reduce the internal temps of your console greatly. The lights built into the fans also look great and do not produce any heat themselves. This is the best cooling solution for the money and will decrease the chances of your console wearing out due to overheating.

These fans just replace the case fan on the back of your Xbox 360 and offer greater airflow to get the heat out of your console. They are also quieter than the OEM cooling fans while being more effective by moving more air throughout the console. They are available in 3 colors: Blue, Green and Red and will add a glow to the back of your console. These fans are extremely popular and will take you all of about a minute to install into your console. If you in the process of changing out the case with one of our aftermarket cases, this is a no brainer.

With all of these choices available you are sure to find the right cooling solution for your Xbox 360. There’s no reason to put up with the heat and problems that come from an overheating console. But we must warn you these mods will void the warrantee on your console, so if your console is still under warrantee do not perform these upgrades unless you are absolutely sure you will not need warrantee repair, because the manufacturer will not touch your console after its warrantee sticker has been broken.
