  • i got a 360 kinect with the fan attachment. but this might help my brother. he has the normal 360. but i can't help but ask. whats the song thats being played?

  • woah im lucky, I played for 16 hours straigt when i first got my xbox, I'm so glad i did'nt get RROD. by the way this is a good idea, but i don't feel like making it :p

  • Or the simpler solution; get a ps3 or pc.

  • why????????? led stand blue for £7

  • you know, cleaning the motherf**ker out every now and again would kinda help your cause.

  • @dankbud Umm... That blocks off the largest vent, which will let it overheat faster unless a stand is made to let it breathe like this does.

  • Dude you dont need to do all this. What i have done for years is just sit the xbox on 4 shot glasses. 1 shot glass under each xbox leg. Ofcoarse the shot glasses would have to be identical so it sits at the same hight.

  • um...just put it sideways.

  • heh heh....9 inch.

  • @xN30NxS0ULx lololol

  • Dose it work for the elite?

  • Comment removed

  • @futurealarms121 ya it does.

  • I tried playing my xbox in a cold room of my house with two stand-up fans facing the xbox and that actually WORKS. but sadly I cannot not play MW3 on my xbox because im on punishment and my Xbox LIVE Expired. Fill free to leave me tips for another way of keeping your Xbox cool.

  • OR!!! get a ps3 or just stand the xbox up right not on its side....

  • Woah thanks now next time i Wont catch it

  • Comment removed

  • ive had my xbox for 4 years now and never had any error from it. I played it quite a bit too, but never did anything to it such as modding, hitting, or spilling anything on it.. I think its the owners that cause the errors they get.

  • I just use a kitchen cooling rack for cookies and the like

  • ok please help i tried to do this and delete cash files and puting a mini fan next to the xbox and still freezes help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • how to prevent rrod- articsilver 5 12.99$ 99%alcohol 6$ 120mm fan 13$ add common sence and boom

  • I've had mine since 09 I got one ring like 2-3 months ago, another one like 6 months ago and I hope there's no more.

  • Seems like a good idea to me..not bad

  • i'm getting a xbox 360 sometime in February 2012... damn, if only i could skip to the day i get it. 

  • @MichaelManza It's a really good time to pick up an xbox360, cuz of all the good titles that are coming up right now, like GTA 5, Mass Effect 3 and Devil May Cry 5.

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel yeah. i can't wait. I think i'll get COD Modern Warfare 2 and 3. And maybe Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary.

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel thnx to crisis, looks like i'll have to get xbox too... :( how low did I fall??? Not being able to get a pc i wanted(want) so much...

  • @MichaelManza I'm getting one tomorrow, from Ebay!

  • @samuel1598able lucky. the days are going by so slow for me.

  • @MichaelManza I kno rght?

  • @MichaelManza a ps3 is better, but its ur opinion so.

  • @MichaelManza

    What a coincidence! I'm getting it in Feb. too!

  • @AssassinVenice sad thing is my mom isn't going to let me put it in my room. 

  • @MichaelManza

    Why? o.O Is she going to play it? Damn, my parents don't care about what I have in my bedroom. Let's see what i have in my bedroom... a Laptop, a 24" LCD, a PS3, a printer, a bunch of games... Man, you're out of luck.

  • @AssassinVenice well if my sister wouldn't have complained, then i would have the 360 in my room. But you are right. My mom isn't going to play it and i told my sister that she can come down to my room and play any game she wants. so, i hope i get it in my room.

  • @MichaelManza

    Thank god I have no bros. and no sis. I get everything for MYSELF. Good luck with your difficult situation there.

  • @AssassinVenice ya i am going to try everything i could when the day comes. and you are lucky you have no brothers or sisters.

  • pfft, I just use two belts folded up.

  • I used to prevent RROD like this, but then I took an arrow to the knee

  • @websternoegel no1 says tht anymore

  • u can just buy a laptop cooler for £3/$4

  • this song is from dmc3 at the end

  • just like my penis at 0:18

  • why is their a worst nipple reaction ever video on related videos?

  • 10 hours of continuis gaming! i would be dead looking at the screen so long

  • freakin'... beautiful!

  • A fairly novel Idea, I use this same method for my Laptop to prevent overheating lol. But this is besides the point, Microsoft were supposed to coat the Triple Core Xenon processors with a special coolant gel to prevent this problem. Either they didnt do this properly or not at all.

  • original xbox 360 for life!

  • @Spike579 untill death

  • 1.- Placing your 360 up straight will not damage the DVD unit, but can get more scratches on your discs.

    2.- Heat goes up. So the CPU will be affected in the opposite way of what he says. (It will be cooler. This also helps the airflow inside the whole thing).

    3.- Discs cannot fall outta place even if you literally took your Xbox and shook the hell out of it. This is due to the CD drive having a metal cover thing. (dunno how to say that). Mine's always been horizontal though.

  • @Resharvsed but if u did shake it the xbox will make a grouwling sound and fuck it up serveraly

  • @asentic277 Sure. But I don't see why you would try that

  • @Resharvsed im just saying on when u said "even if you literally took your Xbox and shook the hell out of it". and yea thats al im saying.

  • @Resharvsed yeah the only bad thing about it being vertical is it covers the main air intake vent, and its actually louder when a disc is spinning.

  • graeat i will try it ,

  • or u could just keep it standing

  • or 4 dvd boxes that I know you have laying around that you ither dont use or are empty... place those underneath it in the center there a free fix. Or a cooling unit. Or stand it up. and dont bump into it like a retard. I had mine standing for 3 years no problems. It RROD on me only because it ended up being so dirty because my brothers friends didn't take care of it when they had it. Cig ashes pet dander etc. overheated because of that.

  • What? If only it were that simple..

  • Stupid

  • or you can just place a box or pillow on it duh or even a cooling fan

  • mines from 2008 and iv left it on over 2 weekends while i went away and it was still on when i came home from vacation, still working good i just had to get the dust cleaned out. it might be workin better if my mom didnt take it away becouse of some of my low grades but, 70's so it shouldent have ben a prob

  • OR you could use the box

  • DMC 3 music when you fight vergil in the backround, god im a nerd

  • i love the music you used in this video :D but i think there is no need for this tool:) i have an x360 and it never had any issues, not even warm after playing multiple hours.. :)

  • I like how you have 6 peices total and dont mention which 2 you glue together

  • Vergil battle 3 ? lol seriously ?

  • Im suprised. I've had the white one for almost 4 years and i've been placing it straight all these years and noooo CD's broken and nooooo RROD!! Boy I must be lucky!

  • what is the best way for me to put my Xbox straight up or on its side

  • i got a new one mine broke =(

    

  • instead of just playing games...

  • i used Carton from the box!

  • I have something like that but its like a metal basket hanging from a shelf, it works pretty good and its 6ft off the ground so it wont kill my discs :)

  • You dont need to do all this. All i did is set the 360 on 4 shot glasses right where the rubber legs are. I have a old arcade model that is still kicking and never rrod.

  • People! It's simple! Just don't play more than 3-4 hours and let it cool for a while before You start playing again! My friends' xbox360 arcade is 27 months old and still working! Thanks..

  • @kristaps231 yup. thats works. people rrod because they run their 360's for several hours or more straight.

  • @kristaps231 Mine is like four years old, still works fine. And I play it A LOT. So basicly, I'm saying the creator of the RROD song is a total PS3 fanboy and doesn't understand things he makes fun of because he's too stubborn to even bother looking into them himself.

  • im still with my very first xbox 2005. it still runs great. i play like over 7 hours a day. not opend yet.

  • MY xbox may not have a RROD but its slower than fuck, and mine is about 4 or so years :D

  • Back in 2008, I had already thought that having it up on it's side would screw it up because it would be blocking the airvent and consequently lead to the overheat of the system and then it would get the RROD. It's a good thing I was at least smart enough to realise that, even at my age of 10 back then.

  • i got the 250 gig xbox and i just layed it on top of the two foam covers it comes boxed in :P

  • my elite is from 08.

    about to be 3 years old.

    I just have it on top of shoe boxes that lets the all the vents be open, not as good as this set up but whateverr.

    I used to just keep it vertical msot of the time and didnt have an issue tho

  • i just tear some plastic off and add tiny vent layer for more air space

  • i havent got the rrod and my xbox is 4 hears old!

  • 10 hours? What the fck?? Lol

  • What is this some crazy music sounds like final fantasy lol

  • MY  Xbox is one of the very first from 2006 and going strong!

  • @askmethings1702 Mine Is from 06 too. Was perfect until mw3... I dont think it can handle such a game with the outdated 360.

  • @askmethings1702 is it still working? mine is from 2007 and works perfect!

  • @askmethings1702 Bought mine off a dude on kijiji, it's from 2006, had 2 rrods, but ti's still going pretty strong

  • @askmethings1702 mine is 2007

  • musics pretty intense...considering what the video is about. lol

  • Can't you just tilt the XBOX vertically instead of horizontally ,

    I tried it I nvr even get RROD

    BUT I must balance the disc on the dis plate before I insert the game. :)

  • hahah the epic music mixed with the calm instructional video made me laugh so hard during the whole thing... lol but good tips.

  • I wanna buy one but im afraid ill get the rrod . This is my first time buying an xbox .

    so which of these can prevent rrod ? (beside slim)

  • Orrrr  im just gonna use books duhh

  • its happened to me 4 time already aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

  • i've had mine for 4 months and its still sexy...

  • This is why I rock tha PS3! Although I once got YLOD hahaha....

  • @bballaboy100 How to not get ripped off, buy a 360 :)

  • @bballaboy100 How to prevent the Yellow Light buy an Xbox 360

  • @bballaboy100 fuck you

  • lol never had rrod don't know what everyone's talkin about xD

  • its called a cooling pad lol that would help

  • is this song from devil may cry 3 

  • the actual best way is TOO GET A FUCKING ELITE IVE HAD MINE 2 YRS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL

  • i feel unlucky i had all 3 of mine die this month.

  • RRODRRODRRODRRODRROD

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAHLRUKBRACSLGVERWFIYUCBRQ4­FETCFYUAIREXYTDSIUCBFIUSVYSIUC­FYHN<IAOUOCYFAEWIUYFPIUAYBVITU­YEO9P754CQNWIOADYFUIBVYGTIUDSC­IJASHDVKFDIGFDIUFCHJAoiybfr9ey­tigabepimiudsg

  • funny ending and yes it does work lol nice

  • i put my xbox 360 elite on a bunch of videos is it good or should i try something else but something without buying things just something which u would easily find in your house

  • where can i get the plastic sticks?

  • If anyone is interested in buying a custom xbox with extras, im selling one on ebay, just type in "custom xbox 360 console"! Starting bid is $175.00! (:

  • My PS3 is over 5 years old and never had a problem :)

  • so are you sure i can play 10 hours of continuous gameplay?

  • @chryz910 I never go over four hours... even since i made one of these stands..

  • put it upside down XD

  • What up with the Nintendo Music? 0_o

  • cant i just do this with some scrap wood i have?

  • i think i would use the cooling pads for the laptops just place the xbox on top of it and plug it on the usb ports and have the fan spin and blow air onto the heat zone i think that would be kinda cool =]

  • Weird thing

  • Who here is still rocking the XBOX 360 Elite I still have mine from 2007.

  • @Jermz1997 mine is from 2008 (an Arcade Falcon) I've added 60 GB HDD

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel Savage!

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel

    Premium 20GB 2006 HERE :D

  • @Jermz1997 No one thumbs up. :(

  • @TheBricksterable

    Not expecting that just wanted to see who was and obviously I am the only Elite user.

  • @Jermz1997 No, obviously people have all had the RROD...

  • @TheBricksterable

    Well I have had it for 4 years and I haven't had it yet.

  • @Jermz1997 Dang.

  • @TheBricksterable

    Everyone says that especially the poeple I play with online they ask what 360 LIVE you using (as in Month 6month or Year) but I thought he meant what 360 and I told him Elite man I promise that his faced changed even though we were just talking.

  • @Jermz1997 ive had all mine since 2006, and nothin wrong, and just bought the slim like a year ago

  • @Brylerce

    Oready

  • @Jermz1997 still got mine have had it for almost 3 years now but it is starting to over heat on me...

  • @Jermz1997 i had the elite until the graphics card failed

  • @Jermz1997 i got one, lasted 10 DAYS...

  • @Jermz1997 how about a core from 05? beat that

  • @xLDKxClan

    I didn't but my brother did he still has the one he bought the day it came out.

  • @Jermz1997 nice me too

  • @Jermz1997 lol i got the original white one man. I got mine the first week they first came out.

  • @InsideGamerscore

    Thats insane but the real question is does it still work like the day you bought it?

  • @InsideGamerscore me to, but I sold it.

    I'm a PC now baby !

  • @1Adr1an6 Was windows 7 your idea then if your a PC ;)

  • @InsideGamerscore lol i got my white one like a couple monts before the new slim ones

  • jenga blocks work well too just have four on the bottom.

  • that would work :) any1 who says its too much work is a fatty lol

  • Just open your xbox and do hot air on the chips inside the xbox !! that really fix the rrod

  • LEGOS!!! lol but seriously I just built one with legos. and it's not just x-boxes that are shit. I've had two PS3s break on me within ONE year, no kidding, but I will admit that it was because I did not properly ventilate them. I'm just saying that PS3s are just as likely to die of heat exhaustion as X-Boxes if you're a retard (like I was, TWICE) and don't ventilate them properly.

  • Thats alot to do for a fucking video game system. It shouldnt brake in the first place.

  • @darren55555555 I always kept my 360 up straight and i got the RROD and i had it for 2 months but I got the slime now and no problem yet

  • how does bad ventilation cause red ring of death its a virus?

  • @GObrewers11 Its a heat problem AKA your XBOX or harddrive overheats.The slim has AKA 250gb,4gb and Xbox pro are the only ones that have a low chance of getting the Red ring other than the elite

  • @NoblesseGlint1

    i have an elite =)

  • @GObrewers11 Other ways to prevent RROD is not playing it for extremly long time,don't put the xbox in enclosed spaces,put at least four inches on the sides back and top for it to breath.and give it a ten minute break time to time

  • Whenever i played my 360, I've easily played it over 10 hours. No biggy, mostly because I would be doing achievments and whatnot. But, alas my 360 is dead. It is over 5 years old, or close to 5 years. It has done me well. But, it was still a pain in the frking ass! Cuz it was the first model right, so yea... not that the 360 isnt good, I still beleive that the 360 has better graphics then the PS3, but the PC cannot be beat nonetheless. :)

  • @atmasood True execpt the PC is a PAIN to move room to room

  • pathetic

  • I haven't gotten a RROD and my xbox is like 2 years old..

  • @Frouza yeah, me neither. And mine is 2 and a half years old.

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel Thats Cause You Guyzz Knoe How To Take Care Of Yur Xbox Juss Like Me :3

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel 4 years never had it

  • @xboxfanaticgabriel mines 4 years old and its like 2 month ago i got my first rrod

  • @Frouza iv not ever had a red ring even on a console i bought when it first came out,iv had a few since but red ring has never been an issue, i had a video input fault on one of them thats it.

  • get different music ffs so shit.

  • I made one like this no issues so far

  • I have a better way to prevent Red Ring of Death: DON'T PLAY XBOX FOR 10 HOURS STRAIGHT, GO OUTSIDE.

  • what dimensions did u choose?? 4 plastic/wood sticks 8 in long or 21 cm?? then 2 plastic/wood sticks 9in long or 23 cm long?? plz write bak!!! - Ztonic15

  • Why should we have to go through all this after we spend money on a device we expect to work. The product should be of quality and we as consumers should not resort to stuff like this.

  • Just built one of these for my xbox!! instead of plastic sticks i used wooden ones and gave it a black finish to match my elite xbox. I will try to post a response video to show what it looks like, thanx a bunch for this awesome idea!!!!

  • the power button was blinking red and i got scared so i turned iit off then turn it back on and it was fine . but im still worried i will get rrod wat should i do? let it cool down?
