Much the same as these Intercooler things which just increase temperatures. If you get a recent 360 then they are a hell of a lot cooler than the older ones (mine sits on top of the SkyHD box and next to a shuttle PC and never gets more than warm, even after 5-6 hours of play.
I have fear of electronic things dying. Really bad.
Most of the sites I have looked at seem to say the overheating problem lies with the GPU's tiny heatsink, which is below the DVD drive.
