How do I keep my Wii from overheating? I recently found out that my Wii overheated and damaged the graphics card. How do I keep this from happening again when I get it fixed?
They sell Wii cooling stations. Don't know how that works, but it may be worth looking into.
Don't have it in tight areas, use the gray stand, have a good air circulation.
And don't use it for over 5 hours at a time.
don't use the wii cooling stateions... i think i hear somewere that it messes up your wii
Don't put it on the floor is my only help. It screws around with how the Wii was designed to make it stay cool.
Shouldent this be in the wii board :P

It's too slow.
Actually, I was wondering, is it normal for a Wii to get hot while in Wiiconnect24?

It doesn't get hot, but it does stay warm

Intercoolers do more harm than good. They suck air into the system, meaning dust and other air pollutants get sucked in too. In other words, it may cool it down, but it causes other problems.
Here's a thought: Unplug the Wii. ;D
Okay, actually, my advice is to not keep it near a radiator.
our basement is hooge, and I keep mine on the ground, on carpet. It hasn't overheated yet, and I admit to having played brawl for 6 hours straight (combined with my brother though) on the day I got it.
I did get a weird error like, second day I had my Wii though. forget what it was, but none of the three middle buttons (-, home or +) worked, nor did a few of the others (while playing twilight princess).
