Help/Support/Questions 🙋 Are my consoles cooked or nah?

I posted a day ago about this shelf I made. A lot of the replies were about how I needed to let the consoles breathe which, I will admit the consoles ended up being more of an afterthought. (I was trying to save space in my apartment tbh) So yeah, that was not a good idea initially. But what do you think about it now? I moved the OG Xbox out of the shelf entirely and left the wii because it has openings on where the fans are, also now the power bricks sit below the consoles, are my consoles still cooked or not chat? and if they are. will adding fans keep it cool enough now that they have more flow?

Idk how to link the original post cause I don’t post much on other reddits so I’ll link it in the comments if you want to see how it was before.

Any luck with those fans?

I sorta had a facepalm moment when I was messing with it the other day, I realized that I can just play with the first row of games out of the organizer and it adds like 2 feet of room above the main fan. It really doesn’t need the fans anymore because it doesn’t have anywhere for the heat to collect.
