Well today I finally got my 360 5 days after it was supposed the to come and at first I was a bit pissed because they literally gave me back my 360, which in a way, is good because then I know they actually fixed it and didn't give me someone else.

Well I hook it up, turn it on expecting to here a loud fan but in result it was barely a hither. you would only hear it if you had complete silence but when I had music running and playing games it never really amped up the noise factor like it used to.

So I'm happy that its fix, so far no problems but I also need to know is this standard in 360's now?

Good! Glad you got your box back.

Yeah, the 360's they sell in stores now are all the quiet, and pretty much are the same deal yours is.

That's like mine, but after a few hours of Halo 3 it gets hot and louder.

Yea, if they are refurbishing the replacement 360s with the Falcon board, then you will get the "new" quiet 360. I don't hear mine when I play, but mine is also in my entertainment center behind wooden doors, so I shouldn't expect to hear it.

Yeah I noticed that too. I still hear mine sometimes, but I also have my 360 about a foot or two away from me when I play, lol.

Are those fans you stick on the back of the 360 worth it.
They make them a hell of a lot louder...

The intercooler works for me. It hasn't effected my 360 in anyway, and i haven't experienced any problems with it. I definitely think it's worth it if you don't mind your 360 being louder then it is.

Yup.They do.Your 360 already sounds like an airplane without it.

Same with me, I'm close to mine. With the new board i can still hear it but doesn't madder its alot more quite this time.
