The power draw from the coolers (his cooler was going through the power connection, not usb) causes a higher current draw and can cause issues with overheating the already undercooled cpu and memory.

Not saying all will experience this, but be wary. I'd hate to see anyone's Xbox go red-ringy.
that's actually the difference with this one is it uses external power and not the xbox. Microsoft recommends standing your xbox upright, which a lot of people have confirmed helps cool it, and this cooler actually forces u to do so
