Xbox News: How to Fix Your Overheating PSU

Ah! As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on the overheating Xbox PSUs, I’ve collected solutions people have posted online:

1. Suspend your PSU in the air with some string (attached to a piece of furniture or something)

2. Balance the PSU on the opposite edges of a cardboard box with no cover (so that the bulk of the PSU is just floating there, above the empty space)

3. Aim a fan at the PSU

“4″. Another idea was to put a half-filled bottle of frozen water up against the PSU, but I have doubts about this idea — the outside of the water bottle will gather condensation at some point, water and electronics aren’t a great combination…

So basically, do whatever you can to allow the heat to quickly dissipate — because once your PSU cools down, your console should stop crashing.
