Description
Nyko Technologies has unveiled a snap-on forced-fan cooling device for the Xbox 360 game console, the accessories manufacturer said Monday.

The $19.99 Intercooler 360 add-on peripheral cools the console by forcing air out of the 360 through a snap-on attachment. The device competes with the Pelican PL-3619, a device that retails at about the same price as the Intercooler 360.

According to Nyko's own tests, the Intercooler reduces the temperature within the 360 by between two and ten degrees Fahrenheit, depending upon the location. The device is powered by the Xbox 360 through a pass-through cable, so no additional wiring is necessary, Nyko said.

Nyko representatives weren't available to answer questions at post time about how muc noise the fans generate.

Nyko also announced the Intelligent Remote 360 on Tuesday, another $19.99 peripheral that allows users to control the Xbox 360 -- when used as a media center, not a game console -- and television with the same device. (from Extreme Tech)
