Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Black Xbox 360 Intercooler TurboSystem by Tim Larsen

Awesome cooler for your fat Xbox 360!

Microsoft once released the Xbox 360 gaming system. It quickly became famous for its overheating. Gamers didn't need heaters if they had an Xbox 360. Discs often came out of the drive and burned after a decent gaming session. And of course, heat will damage the system over time, causing the infamous "Red Ring of Death". Therefore, gamers quickly ran to the stores in search of a product to protect the 360 from the raging fire demon, its own processor. Among them was the Nyko Intercooler EX, which turned out to be the perfect solution. The gamer just plugged it into the back of their 360, turned it on and let the fans run. The problem is solved! Or not. Unfortunately, the Intercooler EX had a fatal flaw: it was powered by a 360-degree power supply. A PSU that was designed to deliver the power the 360 needed and not draw more watts than the EX from the 360. Game freezes randomly, slows down and ironically the lower fan speeds exacerbate the very problem it was meant to solve. If the player wasn't so lucky, the power drain 360 shorted out, causing it to either think it was modified (instant permanent ban) or go straight out and stop working altogether. Xbox, the actual solution has been released: Nyko Intercooler TS. Unlike its big brother, the TS had its own power supply, so it no longer consumed the power of the 360. In addition, the temperature sensor ensured that it only turned on when needed and not always. Cooling was fast and efficient, and the temperature of the ejected discs was not only the same as Vulcan's, but almost the same as the temperature of the room itself. Nothing is perfect, of course, and while the Xbox 360 wasn't initially silent, TS turned the Volume up to match the nearby dragon's roar. However, since most of the noise was caused by the Xbox 360's increased vibration, it can be greatly reduced by placing the 360 on a stand or something similar to prevent it from making contact with the surface. which is still working, I highly recommend this intercooler to avoid heat damage.
