Hi all,

My X360 elite 3rodded last week (this is the 2nd unit- they first one was upgraded to this Elite when it 3rodded)- it's about 2+yrs old and since I didn't want to go through the hassle to send it to Singapore (it's unmodded but sending to sg will cost time and money also- with Christmas coming, I'm sure it will take forever to get fixed or replaced by MS) I sent it to a shop to fix it (I believe they changed the GPU)- it costed RM350 and while they were at it they also increased the fan speed! Since they gave 3 month warranty I guess this is sort of an insurance for them to minimize the possibility of over heating. Now my X360 sounds like a friggin lawnmower even when it's switch off and downloading in the background- for me the sound is intolerable.

Does anyone have any experience in this? did the shop changed the fan or just upped the speed of the original fan? anything I can DIY (to revert back to the original speed) without sending it back to the shop?

thanks

Yes tech2, cannot blame them on this, I guess they think it's safer this way (they may be right). But I just cannot stand the sound! Have to up the volume a few dbs to listen to game dialogs sometimes. Anyway my AV room is airconditioned and friggin cold all the time, I doubt a faster fan speed would make much difference.


Honestly bro, after all the investment I made on the AV system.... I'd take the 3rod risk again rather than listening to a lawnmover while playing games.

I'll google on the voltage thingy thanks guys!!
