Ok..I am getting ready to put a 160Gb 7200 RPM HD in my Xbox. I was told that when you upgrade the drive you can run into over heating problems. Is this true?

If so what can I do to help cool off my Xbox?

you can do the 12v fan upgrade! and since u have a chip you can edit the bios to run the fan at a faster speed (60% instead of 20%)!!

I've read so much stuff about having to keep it cool especially after the HD upgrade.

How about one of these?
