Couple of things - the lowered airflow is partially due to the fact that the 360 uses 60mm fans, while most desktops use 80mm fans. The other half is also speed.
Secondly, its not degrees Centigrade. Its just C.
Thirdly, HOLY $%# The heatsink is that hot?!?! 100C is pretty much assured death for silicon.
Fourthly, if you have components in your PCs reaching 90C, you really, really, really need to look into some new cooling solutions.

Good god,
No wonder MS doesn't want people to know the details. After seeing this I seriously have to doubt whether they even did any quality testing or if they did all of those people should be fired. Those results are off the charts and should of been HUGE red flags to them that a problem was brewing (no pun intended). You simply cannot expect electronics to function properly at those temperatures for any reasonable length of time.

90?
My Radeon is 17% overclocked (yeah, not that high, but Radeons aren't that great for OCing) and it never even attempts to reach 80°C.
Wow ....Microsoft sure has shot themselves on the foot with this .
I wont buy one until a redesigned unit comes out .I dont want to be sending for repair my console time after time and once the 3 year warranty wears off having a pretty paperweight and its games useful coasters ...

erm it's called a grill because it looks like a grill.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
Great, MS have re-invented the Microwave.

If they get that hot maybe they could catch fire and burn down your house. That would be good pr.
You all do realise that the X360 was released almost 2 years ago, and the facts haven't changed since then? or am I missing something?
I just don't understand why people are responding as if the 360 has yet to be released, or only recently released, thats how i read the responses anyways

I thought that 360 had bigger fan than a normal desktop. But i'm propably wrong in that one. But, i would stick to that "secondly", you're right, it's not degrees centigrade, it's degrees Celsius. So using plain "C" is not correct. If you would be using Kelvins, then you should use plain "K".
