dont play more than 3 hours without giving rest
use extra fans like from bottom and both sides
keep the ac towards it when you play
be careful
use hdd instead of dvd drive [this improves the gameplay also belive me]

the best way to avoid RROD is by installing thermaltake mobile fans II *4.I am also planning to do it on my new xbox 360 jasper.
Xbox 360 External Cooling Mod
by Fallback on May 6th, 2008 in Features, Xbox 360
A few weeks ago I realized that I had my xbox 360 for about a year. In that year I had NOT received the red ring of death even once. Though last fall during a 80 degree day while playing with a friend we noticed the graphics on the TV from getting these weird lines through them. It was hot in the room and at that point I really realized that heat is kryptonite to Xbox 360’s and I knew that by the next summer I had to come up with a cooling solution or face red ringed hell. After scouring the internet for a solution that would not break the warranty this is what I came up with. So far with this system my xbox 360 runs very cool.
Ingredients:
4 - Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan - $8 each (these push ALOT more air than most computer fans)
1 - long 1/2″ thick piece of wood (home depot, lowes etc.)
1 - Powered USB hub (any hub thats powered by an Ac adapter)
1 - Roll Electrical or duct Tape (You can use white tape for a better look)
1 - Power strip with a switch (optional, for switching the hub/ fans on and off)
1 - Staplegun
1 - Measuring tape
MAKING THE BASE
1. I measured the xbox 360 and cut 5 pieces of the wood to make the frame. I stapled the pieces together with a staplegun. Note that there are wood pieces that are sticking out in the back and right side to hold the fans.This wood platform also helps airflow from the airholes on the left side under the console.
PREPPING THE FANS
2. Unscrewed the grill of the Thermaltake fans and remove the stand. If you are not using a wood base for this mod then you may want to keep them on but I chose to remove them.
ATTACH THE FANS
3. Tape the fans together in pairs. You can use white duct tape. I used blue and red but I will be changing it to white soon. Pay attention to which end blows and which end sucks air.
4. With your 360 laying flat put tape over the airholes right side (top and bottom).
5. Put your xbox 360 on the base. Then attach a pair of the fans (taped together) on the right side of the xbox 360. Tape the fans to the base and place tape over the airholes on the right side (note: its the left side when viewed from the back). Make sure the fans are blowing AIR INTO THE CONSOLE. Cover any reminding air holes on the right side with tape.
6. Place the other pair of taped together fans on the back. Tape the fans to the base. make sure air is being SUCKED OUT by the fans. The fans in the back should be blowing towards the back blowing hot air out. Eventually all the air it blows will be only slightly warm or cool.
7. Set the fan speed by adjusting the knobs. If the fans are too loud you can lower the speed but I keep mine on high.
8. Attach the usb connectors to the powered hub and plug it in. It should be blowing air into the right side and sucking air out that back.

man stop scaring ppl Vryus dude dunt think everyone iz careless lyke u if u dunt keep ur console's care then dunt think we dunt care abt our consoles well as concern to RROD dude Falcon mai almost RROD ki prob nahi aa rahi hai i m using Falcon over 6 months not a single prob till now but i preffer buy a jasper
^^ @nain, haha bro its just that ive seen many COOOLED 360s that still rroded including mine 
Ask ANY TECHIE on PG if u dont believe me.
^ U callin me careless related to 360 ? Are u nuts ? Ive kept my console cooler than u ever did son. Also, mines alot cleaner and better interms of almost everything than yours, except the fact that yours is a falcon. BTW Falcons do rrod, and nowadays if youre not sleeping, u might just aswell visit the repair shops and repair people and ask them of how many Falcons they have seen !
Peace out !

ok guyz now let me tell u sum tips and rrods... well regarding rrod in Falcon my answer is yes it does uccur and i have repaired few falcons but the ratio is very low than the older models if u take care of ur console it will last longer no matter which one u have and 360 is a machine after all and no machine can last for life long so the faults are acceptable.... Get a falcon if u want it realy bad and if u can wait then get a Jasper which intends to deal with rrod better than the old models...^^ @nain, haha bro its just that ive seen many COOOLED 360s that still rroded including mine

Thanks for the answer Guys !! Well haven't given up for PS3 but well it is about Games like I could buy 1 game a month but then I wouldn't have enough titles to play with not as much as I can get if i get a 360 !! Also how much will a cooling mod cost me and I play ina lounge where a heater burns almost 24 hours . So would i have any issues with that ?
hot room definatly reduces cooling
it costed me around 3 k
one back 1 k
one bottme 2 k brought from incredbleus
<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
bro you got killzone two what more could you want
are you selling your ps3 [i say dont do that]

well RROD happens due to the bad solder applied to the balls connecting the gpu to the mobo when u play extensively the solder melts and the balls r free to move if u do not displace ur 360 then after u turn off ur 360 in most cases the balls stay in their correct position but if u displace ur 360 then the balls are also displace and wham that rrod will occur but i think jasper has fixed this issue to almost 0% but still since we by modifying our console make the warranty void shudnt take any risk
Iam using a Zephyr 2006 made model and its still working for me depends on how u plaly it RROD 5times fixed it 5times myself in 0rs cost(1)

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying. -

saeen I don't think the PSN teams are stressing over needing to offer hundreds of thousands of refunds lol

You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.iampasha said: -

Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch. -
