you know a few thin copper tubes circulation water throughout the middle of your phone to an external radiator is not a bad idea, may affect mobility though

I use one of the hot/code packs intended for use with injuries - I think they are a gel rather than a liquid, since they don't freeze solid - and I haven't had any problems with condensation (and I live in the very humid south usa!) I usually put a cloth towel over the pack and set the TP on that - mainly because I didn't want the phone to get 'too' cold.

But it works well - I have to be on a lot of long calls for work, and I was having trouble with heating causing the phone not to charge and the battery to die.

yeah i think we have one of those cold packs that has a cloth sheath to soak up any condensation. I live in Virginia so I know bout humidity

Side note about those Xbox 360 coolers. My buddy bought one a month ago, and it caused his Xbox to red ring in about 2 weeks of heavy use. After doing some reading I'm fairly certain that's what caused it. XBoxes suffer from less than sufficient cooling on their procs and memory. 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

LOL, maybe some type of Peltier cooler like we used to use for severe overclocking...........

I remember when getting your computer processer to run at one gig was like the holy grail everybody was shooting for!! The first time I posted a screen shot showing mine running at that speed, a poster accused me of Photoshopping it......

I had that idea back in my mogul days, but never got around to it, and ended up solving the problem with a cheep 2800mah battery. unfortunately there's no cheep option for the pro.

actually now i'm thinking more about a small 5vdc fan to wire into the headphone adapter. just can't figure out where to mount and therefore what size.
