Well, this warrior just came back from the dead, so I can't really send it now. Everyone, thank you for the moral support during this difficult time.

 

Did you try/do what i said or did you just leave it for a little while?

If for some reason you have to have your xbox with all that otherstuff at the very least put it on the top.  

 

Does the 360 actually work now?  Or do you have the original problem still?

No, no ,no misconception. Hot air rises. If it was at the top it would be worse. The bottom would be better.

But seriously OP. Take it out of there. Everyone knows unles you have a jasper or Zypher model RRoD is a real possibility. Why have you the PS3 on it's own, when the 360 is the one that really needs that fresh air?

@ Dolemit - sweet. I would have that MS number handy in the near future, though.

PM me your gamertag too.

True, hot air rises. But your conclusion is wrong, hot air rising is precisely why it should be on top.

If you put the 360 on top, it will have some breathing space around it (let's not forget it has ventilation holes on top of it). Meaning hot air will be able to leave the area better, and the wood above is not in contact with the 360, so it's not as bad as having another device in full/closer contact.

If it's sandwiched, heat will be concentrated around it (not in the air, in the other devices). Air is a better heat conductor than plastic AFAIK.

Its not the conduction that makes air useful, its the convection. Because air is a fluid it can take the heat away from the console.

Yeah, that's the correct term. I think I mainly had the right idea though, it acts as if it conducts the heat away.
