Read the Subject or topic name because i want 2 Play when my 360 overheated when the A/C is not on but that was when the Brick was on the Carpet now i put it back in its Orginal Place.But on the INternet i found a Trick that you hang the Brick in the Air or Put it on a Box but instead i put it on a Bunch of some Wires behind my TV so im wondiring does it work? Just making sure before i try it out.

I think common sense would dictate that sticking your power supply behind a TV and a bunch of wires will lead to cooling problems... Hanging it from your ceiling isn't necessary. Just put it somewhere well ventilated.

I have 3 Xboxs and 1 Xbox 360, none of them have ever overheat. You guys must play way too much http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Well now its Ventilated but only on Certain occasions when i don't turn on the Fan & it gets really hot with no A/C and door closed the Xbox 360 will overheat in less then 5-10mins

3 xbox 360's in one room running off the same power brick for 7 and a half hours straight didnt overheat.running of the same thing probobly not a factor but im really bored and typing so you will listen to me. but the power bricks are in the open and air conditioning and fans going constantly help i guess
