Add fans without using power from console

...I don't. You guys aren't being very helpful. He was the one joking around, anyway. In fact, this guy has a better chance of sticking around then all of you guys, what with the rude speak and exclusive comments. If you have nothing to say pertaining to cooling this guy's Xbox, then leave.

stuntpenguin007 gave some good advice. There's really not many other choices than attachable fans (that run off of the Xbox USB) that you can use without getting into the case.

No, I'm pretty sure calling us all "douchebags" was a serious insult and had no humor laced in it.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. He wasn't detailed at all in his question and then lashed out at the people that couldn't give him the exact answer he was looking for. The others were being rude because BeastOfMidian's response was completely uncalled for.

wait so it's cool to have a thread where people are needlessly complaining for pages and repeating "bic bac" over and over, but it's not cool to make a joke and post a picture of some Asian fans?? I didn't know it would be so horrible and pointless to inject some humor into the forums with the negativity going around.

he wasn't being humorous either when he sent me a PM calling me a douchebag. I call that a direct insult and if I sent one to you saying that, I think you'd take issue with it, right? if he would have been a little more patient, maybe he would have gotten an answer and we could have some humor sprinkled in as well.

I did give some actual advice too. also, remember he doesn't want anything running off the 360's power so any USB fans are out.

We were trying to end the argument in that thread by being humorous, instead of angry...

No this guy was not being funny, he was being crappy...

And for the life of me I cannot figure out why he doesn't just use USB.

by no means was I badmouthing the humor in that thread. I understood the necessity for it. I'm just saying give me a break. it wasn't a bad thing.

I did offer advice in two posts. Maybe I will leave (the benheck forums, that is).

-get an intercooler

The intercooler uses power from the xbox.

If you do get one, get a newer one, because the older ones put too much of a load on the power supply.

[Skyone]

Actually, I was referring to everyone but a couple of you (collinE, nevermind1534 and stuntpenguin007 were either good-humored or helpful). I never said BeastOfMidian's responses were called for either, but everyone else should know better. Please, no more off-topic posts.

Don't try and tell us that you didn't clearly state he had done nothing wrong.


Sarcasm alert: And you're sure doing a great job holding on to your members here if you're posting lol smileys when they get mad at you and leave...

What you wrote and who you throught you were referring to are completely different. You implied that BeastOfMidian's posts were "joking around". In case you feel the need to deny it again, let me show you exactly where this occured.

Dude, they were joking. Now you can't expect to get any help at all since you said that crap. I had some really great advice for you on this, but now, I think I'll keep it to myself.

I'm SURE you DID that's why you POSTED it in your 1st comment!

I see that you still haven't ceased to be rude.

I see a ban in your future.

Nevermind posted a warning directed at BeastOfMidian for being so rude. Acceptable, as BOM's comments were uncalled for.

Then, you post:

You don't see a ban in BeastOfMidian's future because he was "joking around, anyway". You think he has a better chance of sticking around than everyone else who posted, because they were the rude ones, not BeastOfMidian.

That is the message you sent, and that is why you're getting a strong reaction. BeastOfMidian is in the wrong here and you supported him. I can only assume it was an error on your part, because you've flat-out denied what's been pointed out.

Oh, and before you use this off-topic post as an excuse to delete any evidence of your being wrong: I would suggest buying a cooling stand for the xbox. You shouldn't need more cooling than that, but if you do you could use laptop/computer fans hooked up to an alternate power source to cool your console down.

Sorry my posts seemed conflicting/confusing, but that's just poor communication. No need to be so upset, or predict that I would edit/delete posts to make myself look more correct (which I've never done, by the way). The only reason I made those comments anyway were because some of you guys were mini-modding, flaming, spamming. These are still violations of the rules, whether or not the topic started broke rules too.

EDIT: If you feel the need to talk about this further, PM me.

interesting take on this. it would seem to me, that if warning the OP that if he keeps up his attitude, he would be banned, and following the golden rule (kinda. he treats us like crap, and we treat him like crap) are bad things, then by all means, ban us.

then, you post and side with the OP, and blame us for the issue. then you basically say that thats not what you said. then, when you get called out on it, you claim poor communication.

i dunno, but i would seem two me, that there are two people at fault here: Skyone, and BeastofMidian. the rest of us are/were just responding in like terms.

If you are going to swear, just do it. Then the people who have the sensor turned off see it, and the people who have it on don't.

IT TURNS OFF?!?!!?!

Its been on for 4 copulate years when the crap did this copulate happen?

[snowpenguin]

It's on the UCP.

Well, on the topic of cooling the 360, I would suggest stacking some standard computer fans next to the back of it and using an ATX psu to power it externally.
