would you like a xbox with your case fan

?

as you can see im very particular and neat about my xbox mods (NB: dried glue, bad cutting, poorly installed usb connectors, etc.)

all i know is i cant make it go over 34*C on 20% fan speed, as long as you can put up with the noise

Just when we thought it wasnt possible to make the xbox look any worse...

Heheh, good cooling power though

Hey you copy cat, it looks just like mine

i might consider the same fan mod, maybe a little differently executed.

maybe its not as apparent in the uk and other cool places, but i know for sure while i was recompiling my kernel the cpu was almost at 60 degrees C.

it sure does get hot here.. and its not even summer

Yeah, thats why you should use loadmonitor/ fanctl

Thats a very nice mod Xboxgeek!

that is a rather nice looking xbox but what functionality does all the leds serve..

besides mine was simply so i could compile faster.. before the 6inch fan i could not get below 50* when compiling (even on 100% fan speed before you mention it ShALLaX

) and now i cant get it above 34* on 20%... so i think that a 20* cooling drop was worth the 25 minutes of trying to cut/solder/bolt the bitch in

its sposed to be ugly and bloated its a M$ product at heart

spathi i will do yours

as long as you dont mind it looking like crap....

where do you live? pm me i dont mind posting withing australia for nothin but outside it gets costly cos our postal service sucks bums (yes even for a badge) just let me know im sure we can work something out

xboxgeek you should change your power leds to blue to finish it off

its not hard i can give you the wiring diagram if you like just a matter of snip and solder

Post by **ShALLaX** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 10:26 pm

Noooo dont change the power leds, then blink wont work properly!!

fuz · Post by **fuz** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 10:46 pm

are you sure.. cos im fairly sure that if you solder it this way (see below nb: not my pic stolen from a modding forum but im sure that mods.dk dont mind/wont find out) it will operate as per normal

you just need 2x3mm leds for each side (different colours sharing the same ground) and then it will operate as if you was to have default setup

hope this helps

Thanks for that fuz , but my pic is a bit out of date.

Here is one with my blue eject leds.

BTW you are correct blink works fine. I have 2x3mm leds per side (1 blue 1 red)

Cheers

pssst xboxgeek, what does the blue led in the bottom left corner do? is it for ethernet or something simmilar?

XBoxgeek · Post by **XBoxgeek** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 8:58 am

It's for my mod chip. It's part of the X-ecuter 2.2 package.
