Have you recently acquired a brand new Xbox 360? Get off to a good start by trying to get the most out of your console in terms of life expectancy. If the Jasper chip set is used in the motherboard of your console, then you probably don’t need to worry about overheating.

Even so, there are other things that you need to address. Until something goes wrong, we tend not to worry about things, but if you’ve experienced the ring of death, then you’ll appreciate the importance of preventative care and maintenance. A list of proper maintenance and care tips for your Xbox:

1.) Keep the box. Someday you’ll want to bring your console on your travels and packing it in it’s original packaging will prevent damage due to shock and vibration. It’s so much easier than looking around for the right box and trying to pack it correctly.

2.) Many people will put game cases and other things on the console. This is very handy but can be harmful. There is a tendency for the console to get overheated after several hours of play.

Anything that is placed on the consoles top prevents proper cooling. Also remember that your Xbox should only be used in an area with adequate ventilation. Don’t use it next to heat sources including direct exposure to the sun.

3.) Your entertainment center should be wide open on all sides. This ensures that there will be adequate ventilation so that the console remains cool.

4.) This suggestion’s obvious but still should be taken seriously. Don’t allow cables and wires to get spread out over the floor whether they’re controller wires or power cables. Clumsy or distracted people as well as pets can accidentally or deliberately (in the case of your pet) snag them and give the console a good yank.

5.) Keep your console and the surrounding area free of all dust as well as grit. The cooling vents may draw in the dust which can trap the heat generated by the motherboard.

6.) If you’re thinking about modifying your console, remember that you will forfeit your warranty if you open your console. You may not care about the warranty now, but they’re nice to have if your Xbox gets the three red light error.
