I'd use Post-It notes over the vent holes instead of masking tape. That should still trap enough heat to RROD the console, without causing as much of a fire hazard. Post-Its also have the advantage of leaving no residue, which masking tape would.

Anyway, once you've got the vents covered, leave it on something graphically intensive for 24 hours. If we were talking about PCs then I'd suggest a high-end screen saver, but anything that stays really intensive without you having to intervene should work.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
