First off parrot_of_adun do not write reviews about something that you know nothing about. It does not draw power from the 360, it gets the power straight from the power cord witch comes from the wall. DUH!!! Second, if it did draw power from the 360, it won't hurt it. I have a 360 HD DVD player, recharge battery controler and still I can hook up a lot more. If that doesn't damage the 360 by pulling power, this little cooler won't come close. Actually knowing everything about electronics and computers, I recomend this product. Listen to my review, this product is GREAT!!!! I will not have to send this 360 in for overheating like my other ones. They have also improved the design and specs of it so defenintly buy one.

Why are people so stupid...
This thing doesnt draw power from the 360 the intercooler draws power from the same place the 360 does the POWER SUPPLY(that big brick like thing that you plug in to the wall). If people would read before opening there mouth you would know that the three fans on the intercooler are rated at .12 Amps the console is rated at 16.5 Amps, so even with all the fans running your not even using .40 Amps. So this shows that if the intercooler was causing systems to fail it wasnt because the intercooler was drawing to much powerfrom the console. It was because of a faulty system or a faulty intercooler. Feel free to correct me on this...
 Not for the 360 Elite June 29, 2008

This product did not fit the new 360 Elite. Microsoft has changed the design for the power cable and the power plug on the back of the 360. The plug cable no longer has two push buttons to release the cable. This design change does not allow you to plug the power cable into the intercooler. If you have a new 360 without the two push buttons to release the power cable from the 360, do not buy this product. If you have the old one, this product works great and could extend the life of your 360!!!
 Convenient, but just don't... July 26, 2007

While the new EX works very well at cooling your 360, it STILL draws power from the xbox's PSU, WHICH CAN (and likely will at some point) CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR HARDWARE FAILURE!!
I have tried all the possible third-party solutions to xbox heat issues, JUST DON'T BUY ANY, mine doesn't over heat easily, and I have a feeling people underestimate the 360's cooling system.
IF YOU ARE WORRIED, do as I do, even though it's a bit strange, simply place the console on a baker's cooling rack, and if it's summertime, use a normal fan, the kind you'd use to cool down a room.
Useless product April 18, 2008

Nyco produced this unit in black so that it would match the new Xbox 360 Elite consoles. Not only is such a cooling fan unneeded with the new Elite consoles, but the Elite power plug is not compatible with this Nyco Intercooler. I have a hunch that Microsoft redesigned the plug with the specific intent of prohibiting installation of this product between the power supply and the game console. Such an installation can cause other problems, as has been explained in the numerous other negative reviews. In short, there was absolutely no reason to produce a black version of this product, and certainly no reason for you to waste your money on one.
