Tips On Cooling Down Your Xbox 360 Correctly
As you may already know one of the major reasons for the red ring of death is overheating. This is due to poor ventilation and prolonged running times. There are however a few tricks into getting your Xbox 360 active again as safely and quickly as practicable. Below I have listed the primary techniques.
First thing to try is turning your console off and leaving for roughly an hour. After this time has passed turn your console back on. This should resolve the problem for the moment but there may be other issues that may cause the red ring of death to reoccur.
Check where your Xbox 360 is stored. If it is in an entertainment unit with doors this can cause overheating. So if you're aiming to keep your Xbox running well and cool it is recommended to play with the doors open. Or ideally try moving your console on to an open shelf. Also some people have their console on a shelf wedge in with books and there's very tiny air getting into the Xbox, so be conscious of where you set up your Xbox 360.
To chill your Xbox down try positioning it next to an air-con unit, try and line it up so that the air will pass thru the vents on the console. If you've got an a / c unit running already it may just as well chill your Xbox down too.
If you've got a laptop computer cooling pad try sitting the Xbox on it for roughly half an hour before playing again. This should adequately cool down the console for you to start playing.
You might find that your Xbox is overheating more and more ; this is a sign that the fan is not as good as it used to be. It could be a god idea to get an external fan for your console. These are widely available at most web-based game stores. The good thing about these types of fans is that they fit to your machine without looking to clumsy. Installing an extra fan will also help to chill your Xbox down speedily and safely.
I'm hoping this article has given you a few things to consider. There's one more thing I want to tell you, some people have decided to wrap their Xbox in a plastic carrier bag and put it in the fridge in an attempt to cool it down far quicker. This is a bad idea as the console is not designed to be at temperatures so far below freezing point. In reality this can cause more damage to your console. So if you are making an attempt to cool your Xbox down safely follow the points above and you ought to be up and running again in almost no time.
