Hi to all xbox members,


Actually i got some question, why my new xbox 360 arcade the console sound so loud when playing game? Do any also experience like this? is it normal? or maybe xbox pro 60gb won't have this problem? thanks.

what sound dude? dvd spin or fan spin.

mines the older model and it is hell noisy. the system really needs to cool, and its a good thing your fans are working.

i have a good tip to allow it to cool faster. after playing, open your disc tray, to allow heat to leave via the cd tray opening. 10 mins would be good enough, or better yet you can actually leave it on, cause the system will go idle.

to check you can just put your hand behind the console to feel the heat. if its not hot (meaning there is air but it aint hot. your xbox is cool enough).

i dont mind the sound, as long as i dont get 3rod im fine.

try install the most game u play on hdd..
quieter than b4.

he's on arcade dude.

then the best way is to get a hard drive.. so can make the sound much much quieter and to make the life span of the dvd drive longer...

aiyah...soli ma

Yup, it is super noisy but normal. Was worried at first, but then got used to it. Its most likely caused by the fact that newer versions use BenQ DVDrom drive. Just have to live with it la. Anyway, I bought an HDD, just to extend the lifespan of my drive. But kinda tedious to install every game you wanna play. Best solution is to drown out the noise (use headphone, maybe?). That's why I thank god I play in my room so I can turn the volume up

if you leave your tray open, doesn't that will make your drive more prone to dust?

haha... bout the sound the best is to install game... it make the loading slightly faster.. and for sure no more noise... if u have arcade just buy the hdd, or get second hand lah cheaper.. hehe

Mine also loud like hell...it's normal for jasper

get hdd n install game..then it more quiet rite?
do it b4 ur drive gone to hell?
btw im using zphyr n falcon.
1 for house n 1 more for cyber cafe

well...it do know someone did a comparison & found out that some falcon console is actually less noisy than Jasper....

ut for me, I think they're both noisy.....

for my console, even the powerbrick fan is noisy

^it depend on the dvd drive (samsung, benq, lite-on, etc), not the mobo (zephyr, falcon, jasper, etc)... i think currently, jasper use lite-on drive if im not mistaken.

first batch of modded jasper is using samsung,benq..etc drive... unmodded is using lite-on.
now all jasper regardless modded or not is using lite-on.

The power brick has fan?

err..i dun hear anything coming out from my powerbrick

but i guess it cools faster rather than to turn the system off after 2 hours of gaming and no proper ventilation, the fans instantly stop when you turn the system off. keeping all the heat in= results in the worst engineering design of our generation.

the power brick has a fan???

haha, honestly, mines ahem unit, play mp on my ps3. how on earth do i update ahem versions? its not like there is a DEV team for xbox?/

I NEED HELP HERE!

WHICH CONSOLE SHOULD I BUY?

PS3 OR XBOX 360?
CAN ANY OF YOU DIRECT ME TO ANY WEBSITE THAT SHOW COMPARISON BETWEEN THIS TWO CONSOLE?

the sellers in lowyat can get u a better deal

just bring RM1700 to the shop and start asking

u will surely go home with 1 of the consoles

depends on which games and which future u want

Sometimes It makes ponder, some people have too much money that they don't even know what they want.

Me, I know what I want but there's just not enough money, damn!

xbox 360 pro jasper for 1400?

is that price reasonable?seem so cheap.

check this out

rybyt1, where are you from man? RM 1350 is considered normal price.
If you're from KL then I would suggest you to buy from shop rather than online.

thanks for replying Mr Ez.

but does xbox 360 pro jasper exist.i thought only arcade have jasper.

can u recommed me any shop or dealer.the good one of course.

No problems man.

I can recommend you 2 shops, of course there's more, but these are the two that I usually go to.
1. Bernard Moh shop - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=902304&hl=
2. Gamer's Hideout in Cineleisure - Djinn is the boss http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showuser=7499

If you compared it that way than Nintendo Wii will not become number 1 console for current generation coz it doesn't even have any extra capabilities other than "play game" and have weakest performance among all current generation console.

Got it?

mr rybt...from the website that i give i can say 1 think...from last year this shop sell xbox 360 very very expensive...if i not mistaked this shop sold the same console for rm 1600.00..last year

an xbox 60GB jasper now around 1400

if u need another controller, + 150 i think

its better than buying online

go 2 the shop, establish a bond and buy

bernard is recommmend for his friendly service and i do mean friendly

It depends on what you want and all you need to do is browse @ http://forum.lowyat.net/Games and you'll find some sellers there and you can interact with them . I bought my X360 from 1 of them coz his shop was the closest to my home!

should consider games also, different console have their own respective exclusive titles.
