I search high and low for unused fans, and I could only find my old AMD processor fan. Then I tried searching for the power source... and could not find any... Anyways, I was thinking of getting those 'PC modders fan' - you know, the large ones that light up when they work... hmm... This post has been edited by defaultname365: Jan 10 2009, 02:13 PM

Purpose: Reduces 'hardware failure phobia' Step 1 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Plastic thingy that connects wire, AC-DC adaptor, notebook cooler Step 2 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Notebook cooler fans Step 3 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I cut the notebook coler part where the switch to turn on was... now I have my own turn on/turn off switch ! Step 4 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Now connect AC-DC adaptor to fans Step 5 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Finally, attach the cooler fans to the back of the console unit (use double-sided sticker or wire). When the fans are turned on, the air should flow 'outwards' as in away from the console unit. Temp control... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Well, kinda. The AC-DC adaptor has an adjustable DC output voltage... these cooler fans should be able to go upto 12V, but at this voltage, they're very noisy. I set my to 7.5V. After a gaming session, I turn it a notch higher for a few minutes to cool the unit down. Finished product » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Third fan left-side of console. ... I don't think buying the Intercooler TS is worth it. Dun even know if it really reduces hardware failure rate or not... but oh well, I did this and I'm glad.

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. QUOTE(navigator @ Jan 12 2009, 01:21 PM) 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..... 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.

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. This post has been edited by defaultname365: Jan 13 2009, 03:16 PM

Windows® 8.1 \| Xbox 360™ \| PlayStation® 4 Senior Member 1,098 posts Joined: Nov 2006	RM140 for this ! My own DIY fan cost way less... albeit amateur in design (duh..). Not too sure about it... This post has been edited by defaultname365: Feb 22 2009, 03:21 PM

Windows® 8.1 \| Xbox 360™ \| PlayStation® 4 Senior Member 1,098 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(Alphawolf @ Mar 1 2009, 05:04 PM) guys, i just bought myself a Intercooler TS yesterday. Being waiting for this thing for quite a while, it's expensive, but i kinda like it. Here's my findings so far : Pros: - It's a quality product..the materials and packaging used are of quality...and the Intercooler fits perfectly - Powerful fan..it moves lots of air, there's no doubt about it. My whole room smells of the innards of the Xbox - Nice design, in my opinion Cons: - Tempsmart is a gimmick..it only have 2 speeds, which are OFF and ON LOUD! I was hoping for a auto variable speed thingy. - It's expensive (in Malaysia) . I guess it's a non-issue for the US - It's LOUD (but that is expected) So far i'm quite happy with it I might get it, but I am so unsure about how effective it is or just continue using my own custom fans... How loud is loud ? Is it loud as to "need to increase sound volume of TV?"

I wonder is there any heat sensor there n can it be remove to let it full blast all the time ... or it won't work without the sensor. So now not only issue with the console, but issue withe gadget that was suppose to decrease the chances of the console getting the issue ? Seriously just make your own cooler... like... me.
