Yeah, Saving games to your hard drive helps also because the disc wont be spinning(Only when you start up the game) So that's less heat coming off that and The fans wont be working as hard. My room used to get REALLY hot all the time from playing, Now that I put the games on my hard drive it really never gets hot in here. Ive left my elite on by accident for a week when I went out of state came home and it was still cool in my room(I wouldn't suggest leaving it on for that long tho haha)
