What temperature protection does the 360 have?

Ive just bought a new 175w 360, seems to run cooler, but ive also had a massive clearing out of my wires and got a new unit to put my stuff in, so everything is hidden away behind wood.

Ive played a couple of games of fifa with the 360 hidden, and it didnt seem to get too hot, the psu is not enclosed in, but wondered what i should be on the look out for.

Looks awesome with everything hidden away and not a wire in sight.

Cheers, ill give it a good sesh on guitar hero and see if its okay over a prolonged period, worst case scenario is i have to open the front when the 360 is on.

Silent 360 behind wood for the win!

I presume there is no back to the unit (to allow for cables etc)? That would help with ventilation if there was little or no back to it.

Yeh there is a back, i just cut out a hole about 80mm to feed the cables through.

Your panny frame could do with a wipe

It dosent look like it does in real life, but yeah, the pictures show that it could

Played an hour of fifa there, and the 360 wasnt even hot to the touch

My old one was never hot to the touch and it RRoD'd on me

This is a brand new one though, not one of the original batch.
