After receiving my new Xbox 360 S over this past holiday, I noticed it ran much warmer than my original Xbox 360, about 30-40 degrees warmer to be exact. I have two HDTV's right next to each other(One 63" Mounted on the wall, one 42" on a stand) and I have my original Xbox in an enclosed area in the tv stand, with my new one sitting on top of the tv stand behind the 42" tv. Well, after noticing that Skyrim was freezing and lagging more often on my new Xbox than the original console, I grabbed a "point and click" temperature sensor and realized just how much more hot my new system was getting, compared to my old one. Even in the enclosed area my old Xbox was in, the temperature read 68-69 degrees Fahrenheit, where my new one was reading 108-120 degrees Fahrenheit...in the open air. I originally thought that it may be because of the heat my 42" plasma was putting off, but I played my Xbox 360 S without that tv on, and it still did the same thing.So, after contemplating whether or not I should exchange my console for a new one(thinking it may be a faulty fan and what not) I decided against it. I began looking on Amazon for a cooler for it. I almost chose the CTA Digital Xbox 360 Turbo Cooling Fan with 3 Usb Hubs(
