You may have heard the rumors going around about the Nyko Intercooler. What was meant to help your Xbox 360 from overheating is actually causing it's own kind of burnout. Reader Ben M. sends in these pictures of the Intercooler he bought for his system along with the horror story of what happened when he put it in use.

As you can see, this product, although a great idea and it actually works, can be a serious fire hazard. Just check out what it did. Not to mention it melted one of my Xbox360 power connector covers which is still inside the Intercooler. Burnt, may I add.

From what I can gather, this has been happening to a lot of people and I certainly hope that NYKO will do a recall of these defective apparatus. If not, I hope they are ready to pay for repairs on all those burnt out 360's. Flynn De Marco
