cool mod there,how many hours of gaming u can tahan,i fitted a similar fan like ur's but super duper fast n noisy,still my 360 3rod very frustrated,the 360 lacks air circulation meaning incoming air.

point a torch light behind the xbox to see the 2 default standard fans

they are PATHETIC

MS & IBM should put a fan on the heatsink

and SPEED UP THE RPM of the 2 default fans

its abysmal... my manual hand can turn faster than that

wow,another great mod..nice idea with the variable output adapter.did you drill holes on the left panel(the side fan)of your 360?and what's the total cost?

One BIG tips for you.

The 3rd fan beside the console should be located at the vent holes infront of the HDD enclosure. after measuring the wind speed by using a small cloth, the vent has the strongest wind entrance.

Blowing that sopt directly and the air will not even reach the heat point.....

OMG I will never do that. Even bringing a scissors close to my beloved console, my heart races... total cost = RM 4 (plastic connector), AC-DC adaptor (RM20), Notebook cooler (RM25) = RM49. It was my little project. I had time over the weekend and decided to do it.

Hmm.... 'touching' the top of the hard disk enclosure, I dun feel any heat, and you say the air enters here ? Nevermine... putting a fan there would just make it super ugly...

I put it by the left-side coz that is where the area gets really warm (GPU area).

Lol... the air from the cooler is is not 'directly hitting it', it is blowing outwards (like the back of the console unit fans)... when the air blows that way, the temp where there is warmth becomes less warm = air leaving an area (where heat builds up) -> area cools down quicker. The warmth keeps coming in this case from the GPU.

It might not be effective, but at least I know, the heat there is being vented 'away', not blown away... that is as far as I and my brain can go.

You only cool the external shell and not the board itself.....I wonder the heat variance will cause faster 3RRoD problem if the heat variance internal & external too high...

Yes, most of the cool air entered through that part. It might be super ugly but if it helps...who care????

and Tech2 told us that Jasper set still have 10~15% 3RRoD cases in short period of time.

why dont directly use usb power from the xbox itself?

No,

I do not want to use ANY power from the system.

The more you take power from the console, the havier the load for the fragile little power brick that is one of the reason for 3RRoD.

which part would that be ?

Not in a million years I would waste my time again 'tweaking the design' I don't even know would work. Adding the fan at the top will not automatically get rid of RRoD. I understand the so-called 'air flow' but who cares. Yes, who cares. Unless someone comes over and does it for me, fine.

Not too sure why I should be concerned at all.... I'm not... I just did it in my free time.

i read that part however after looking at my xbox properly, the small holes there wouldnt even get much air ventilation for my xbox ..

the design is so flawed that a company billionaire like MS cant even fix, what do u think u can do ? =.=

better u guys buy and use the evercool xfan

evercool xfan is a toy... the airflow is not even strong enough compared to DIY fan.

You all can do a radical mod for this--Internal watercooler and someone in xboxexpert.com did it. Look at the customised waterjacket~!

Just to let you guys know that I went to GH in Cineleisure to buy SFIV and I saw like six these Nyko intercooler at the counter, not sure if it's just arrived or ready for sale yet. I'm not interested in this product so didn't bother to ask, you guys who are interested might want to call GH an enquire them about this.

yup, just arrived with the others stuff . is ready to sell if you want them just ask

GOOD~! I'll go & have a look for it.

RM140 for this ! My own DIY fan cost way less... albeit amateur in design (duh..).

Not too sure about it...

It costs RM140?

wah~! btw....how strong is the air flow?

RM140 I can get a game already....

i tot wanna get it @ RM70 or less...

however, this is Intercooler TS or EX?

My urge & adranaline rush to get one is over....

bacause I've known the ultimate root cause of 3RRoD which is related to heat but it has no way to cure except re-engineer the GPU chip.

Anyone who want to know what happened to our GPU may search google for nVidia G70 GPU failure. The problem is the same scenario to our xbox360 GPU failure.... nVidia repeated the failure that happened since year 2005 to M$.

Someone told me that a batch of PS3 Malaysia /w 65nm chips somehow suffer the similar problem by a symptom of "failed to start after certain time interval", anyone to clarify this?
