Not literally.
However recently I removed it from its vertical stand and placed it on its side on the floor so it could fit under my bed with my other consoles. It's been about a week or so and just today I noticed that my Wii is extremely hot on the underside that is resting on the carpet. Do you think this will pose an overheating issue, and/or has anyone had issues with their Wii consoles overheating? I have thought about investing in Nyko's add-on cooling fan system. It's relatively inexpensive, but I haven't heard anything about it. Anyone have it? And would it be a good buy? Thanks in advance. |

I own one and i must say its a must for all Wii owners. It keeps your system cool no matter what. You should get it, or you might be one of the unlucky ones who migth have to send it back to nintendo and wait for it to return fixed.

Never keep any electronic device (running) on the carpet
that's unneeded risk.

the carpet is being used as an insulator, so if u don't want ur wii to really catch on fire, i suggest u move it somewhere else.

If you really must keep it on carpet, then place a board of wood (cut to size) on the floor then put the Wii on the wood. Buying a after market cooling device will help with airflow as it would get very little down there.

The whole point of the stand thingy is it's utility,if you put it on the floor and becomes really hot,its most probably because of three things:
#1-Your blocking the fan #2-Your playing too much. #3-You have a monster under your bed that sits on it and watches you play then dissapears as soon as it sees you.

Hhm. I never really found a need to buy a cooler for the Wii.
Although, mine does seem to get hot when I leave the internet on stand-by. The only thing I ever know to do is turn the internet off when i'm done playing. But a fan does seem like a good idea if you don't want to go through the trouble I do. |

The fans are a waste of time, I got given one and i don't even use it. I actually think it causes more heat because it takes power from the Wii's USB ports.

Here, why don't you put it standing right infront of your bed next to your night table or something, or if you own a night table put it underneath that so you still only have to lean over, if you really must keep it underneath your bed, try putting it ontop of one of the other consoles so that it doesn't get as hot as on the carpet, then buy one of the cooling fans and put it on but try to make it stay on sideways.

You're supposed to keep it out in the open so that the fan has exhaust capacity.
The Nyko fan sucks. I bought it, then next day it's broken. Took it back, replaced it, the same thing happened. BOOOOOOO Nyko

no chance. fan is being powered by the usb direct. the heat is being formed by the processors and board.
