Xbox 360 cooling fan

What fan is a good Xbox 360 cooling fan that will keep my system cool and not ruin it?

The stock one...they wouldn't have put it in there if it would damage it....

I've felt the back of my console after just 90 minutes of play and it was very hot. Where can I find a good fan for under $20.

The xbox does get very hot but if its not shutting down or freezing it is not getting hurt.

Mine blows out plenty of heat as well but it's supposed to. Modding it with other fans disrupts the original intent of the entire cooling system and can cause more problems than it it were left alone.

O.K. but since my computer is in a hot room (room temperature 90-95F) would a simple desktop fan help at all or would it hurt?

You can if you are worried by a innercooler those go on the outside. There are many different brands but if the room is that hot it wont help becuase you would just blow even more hot air back into the system.

Where can I get a good, reliable, and cheap intercooler?

If the room itself is hot then there's not much you can do short of rebuilding the cooler.

My friends intercooler killed his 360 (it draws to much power from the system its like having an underpowered computer)

I had an intercooler, it was noisy at times. It helped though. Just be sure the xbox is in an open area so the fan can blow freely.

It can melt the plug part of the 360
