Xbox 360 The Towel Trick

Does this actually work?
It's like putting a fan under your laptop right? It stops it for a while, but not forever.
 
When my first 360 happened to RROD 5 or 6 years ago I tried this and it would provide a temporary fix in the beginning. Unfortunately the RROD problems became too frequent and long-lasting and I ended up having to send my 360 off for replacement.
 
this method was for people who's xbox was past warranty and it's only meant to be a temporary fix while they raise funds for a new xbox. If you tried it expecting for it to just magically go away instead of sending it back then...ya...
 
I did the towel trick one time and it worked. It lasted for about two weeks and then died again. Then I did the whole pasted the chip back on thing. It made it work for another good week. Tried to do the towel trick again but it didn't work.

It's a design flaw that is causing the problems.
 
I've never had to try the towel trick and I hope I never have to... but I'd probably be too scared to anyways. I wouldn't trust a towel when there are other, better methods.
