Ok, so while an XBOX 360 is powered on the fan is on and drawing air through the system keeping it cool.
So you've been playing for a good number of hours and the system is at full operating temperature, so when you're done you switch the system off. But what happens when you switch it off? ...that's right! the fan stops and the system is still at a high temperature.
So with all that heat and no fan to draw it away, the heat as prooved is causing damage.
My question is, is there ANYWAY that ANYONE can think of to keep the fan or other fans going after the system has been switched off? I don't care if it's done via a switch or if the fan(s) can turn off after a certain amount of time with some sort of timer...
Cheers all
