  • @georgey85 ur. Write the cabinets the problem as wel as in the cabinet its circulating the hot air back to the intake vents witch is horrible for the xbox aswell ...clearly he needs to relocate the consle

  • its louder becuase of the whisper fan pushes out 58% more air. the sound is not coming from the xbox but from the air pushing out of the cabinet. make a better vent for you cabinet and it will take care of the problem

  • I guarantee you that these fans work, however over time the inside of your xbox including your fans will accumulate dust which makes your Xbox 360 90% louder, No fan can fix that! I recommend every 6-12 months you open your 360 and clean out the dust as much as possible, This will also boost the performance of your xbox believe it or not. I recommend using a can of ultra duster or any other can of pressurized air you can find at local stores like walmart

  • I just installed my wisper fans and there quiet as hell and my xbox is in a cabinet like yours?

  • @2010ShadowMaster2011 maybe the latest model of the fans is better and you might be running your games from the hard drive? that wasn't possible when this video was made.

  • its called whisper fan but its loud as hell

  • Also copy games to your xbox so it doesn't need to spin the disc which will help it cool

  • Waste of money buying a whisper max fan and not have a clear case or window on your x360's case

  • why dont you just get a headset?

  • U see mmmm microsoft failed in the desing cus the fans need to be in the bottom of the head sick or on top of it, so that can be much more cooler!!!

  • how much does than whisper fan cost??

  • It'll get quoted if you download the game to your hard drive

  • Its on Nitro dude! No, Im serious, its on Nitro setting.

  • Phew... Thanks for this video. I had my 360 open and ready to canibalize it to get that exact same "whisper" fan installed. Glad I saw this and heard the final comment "that it is a complete waste of time: it is louder!!!!"

  • the fan is louder because it's pushing more air out to keep your 360 cool. That's the whole point of whisper fan's. Unfortunately does not live up to it's name.

  • oblivion killed my 360 :(

  • move your bottom off the xbox away from the wall cause thats the main vent it will overheat

  • Did you find another fan? I just installed the whisper fan and its about twice as loud than stock fans.

  • @w8t2009 no I used the original fans. However I have move my 360 to another room an use a 10m HDMI cable instead, that way it doesnt matter how loud the fans get.

  • theres not much point in getting the whisper max fan if you not gonna get a clear case or window in your 360 and to try and make the fans quieter you should get little round foam sound supressers about 2- 3 mm thick and just peel the paper backing off each side

  • Are you a Lutonian? Sounds like my accent lol.

  • @ExtremeBogom almost, just up the road in mk :)

  • @sly2097

    Aah, thought it sounded familiar xD

  • wow are all fan tuts 240p?

  • @aGruntNamedYayap this is an old vid made on an old cybershot camera :)

  • man is installing these for chrismas :D but sadly few days ago i took out the fan cause it wasnt working and i noticed that i chiped the board D: im lucky its still fine

  • clean and lube up the fans and they will run a bit faster cool more and a tiny bit quieter :D

  • although its louder, the new fans will be MUCH cooler, but on the other hand, your xbox is sitting in a small wooden space, its gonna get HOTT!!! keep it in a nice spaceous area, then have a listen ;)

  • @mooseyman1988 thanks for the advice. My 360 now sits in another room, with a 10m HDMI cable attached. Its completely silent as its shut in another room. This is the best way I can think of silencing it.

  • Yea it's louder but it has LEDs in it and cools you xbox 210% beter than the stupid stock fans

  • Just install the game to your harddrive and the fans wont make so much noise -.-

  • The new xbox slim is quiet but when you play certain games like gow or gta it gets very loud?

  • @Vrailz I was playing Call Of Duty MW2 on my mates X360 slim for like 5hrs straight it was near silent.

  • @macman2256 Yea mines like that when i play mw2.

  • LOL I found the Talismoon "Whisper" Max to be the same. Its louder than stock. What a waste of $30.

  • maby you shoudent have put it in a tiny space and it wosent a wast of time bec its less likly to overheat

  • I've been thinking about leaving the top off and put normal fans on top of the cpu and gpu. Would that be a problem ? I dont care how it looks i just want a bit of silence.

  • turn up your tv to cover the noise of the fan...

  • U have a xenon old console it need to be cooler

  • Fans are at the back and you have it backed in the corner??? yer it was a complete waste of time lol

  • the loud fan noise fuck me of but on top of that i hve this clicking nosie while playing games like a broen fan agertates me so match nealy threw it out the window a few times and i only boguht it 4 months ago 250gig as well.

  • install it to the harddrive and try again, the loudest thing on the xbox 360 is the disk drive.

  • failure LOL!!

  • did u have 2 sotter eny thing or do u just plug it in like the other fan cuz am not good at riping nd re wiering cabels waz it easy not counting the opening the xbox part cuz i can do that

  • omg they shouldactually fucking make em the right way and have it like that god damnit 

  • how do i replace the fan im about to buy a new fan but idk how to do it

  • The new XBOX 360 claims to be "Whisper Quiet", with built in wifi and 250GB hard drive.

  • thats your dvd drive making that noise aswell i install my games to my hard drive and i have them fans and it make's alot of difference

  • i think it's louder cuz these fans r smaller thn the original so the xbox uses more power to make them spin faster as to cool down the system which makes a loud noise..the original ones are big so the console doesn't use so much power cuz they're already big, so they can cool down the system easier than the new ones

  • hAVE u got a RROD yet ?? with that console???

  • That's true it was very enclosed. Now my xbox has a lot more space with a room to itself :-)

  • well ur xbox was in a very enclosed area pal

  • The whisper looks excellent with a clear ghost case like mine

  • It probably has something to do withwhere it is, but my 360 has never been that loud even with the regular fans. Also you may want to raise it.

  • just ur xbx my xbx has never been that loud

  • you need to raise your xbox off the surface by using dvd cases under the rubber feet on the bottom. if you notice how hot it gets under the xbox you would prop it up so air can go under. also your xbox is in a confined place bad for over heating to. try downloading most of your common played games so i runs off the hard drive instead using the disk player that makes your xbox hot! playing 1 disk for a couple of hours. well hope this helps (=

  • fuck u campeondani xbox sucks on every thing so shut ur fuckin mouth

  • does the 360 use 60mm fans?

  • no, it uses 40mm fans if i'm not mistaken. you can just get custom ones from access electronic and plug them if you have the correct cables.

  • lmfao the wind tunnel xD

  • I have a huge problem with my Xbox i Just got it about 3 or 4 months ago, then just yesterday i lifted it while i was playing mw2 and it make a huge scratch circle inside of it then i had to get a new one. then i played gta IV then i pushed it a little to left and it bumbed to the wall then that broke, now im afraid to play games and waste more money, is it the fans that brake or what and how can i fix this.... thank you.

  • @wishingcomes well maby if you stopped moving the xbox it would stop fucking up your games........dude its just common brains to figure that one out

  • @wishingcomes ur a moron

  • fuck u ps3 is better  not to u sly2097

  • @nevadausa2009 ps3 RULES tha worlds NERDS read the other guy with the problem...xbox has tha stupid fan so aloud cant play in silence wtf xbox sucks

  • All you people who say it is the DVD drive that makes the noice are morons, I fix xbox 360's for a hobbie and what i can say is that if you ever stripped down the xbox again and unplugged the fans, the xbox would be silent (but will overheat very fast) What i suggest you do is replace the thermal paste underneath the heatsinks (Tutorials ALL over youtube) Then the heat from the processors is transferred easier making the fans cool it off easier. This would make your fans quieter.

  • @babadoobasha good comment

  • @babadoobasha Done that to make the fans quiter, it really depends what percentage of compounds make up your thermal paste, you will also have to do this at lest like 2 times a year maybe one.

  • @babadoobasha LOL? The disk drive makes almost all the noise the 360 produces. I also fix 360, Ps3, PC's, and from experience i can tell you that the disk drive makes LOTS of noise. If you install the game to your HDD and play it compared to not installing it you make your 360 almost dead silent. Yes replacing the thermal paste will help keep it cool (MS uses shit for thermal paste), along with a few fan shroud modifications and your gold. It really would not make the fans quieter.

  • @bamfan2044 on one of my xboxes it's the fans, i've yet to run a game in it, just use it for media streaming, and the fans are super loud.

  • you could take it off the shelf and put it in the oppen. thats what i did

  • The Dvd drive is where the sound is coming from

  • hahahahha its louder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i swiched to ps3 becouse i was tired of hearing a blender while playing

  • ye got to keep it down cause your mommy in the next room complaining?

  • doen't help by choking the poor thing in that cabinet.

  • theres already a key n its easy enough to make ur own not waste money if u need 1 :)

  • Thats one of the oldest 360 the newest are much quiter ... 50% ore more

  • the fans are quiet, its the dvd drive thats loud

  • PS3= Way better

  • how much better is the whisper fan really?

    cuz if it aint better i will put my stock fans back. they are much quitier..

  • I almost bought one until I saw this.

    thank you for making this video.

  • buy the whisper max much better u have a switch for cooling ur 360 down and the fans are whisper

  • - quite - ps3 wins hands down

    - better - NO - there both good

    (went over the 500 char limit)

  • My PS3 is about a year old, I've taken it apart theres no dust inside and it still goes into a deafening louder than 360 fans mode from time to time, so your talking out of your ass...and it stinks.

  • ok for you faggots who are one sided

    i have both a 360 and a ps3

    -better graphics on the ps3 - lies they look the same as the 360s on my 1080P HDTV

    - free online is good because its free but it can lag alot compared to the 360s live for £40 a year

    -plays bluray dvds - yeah but the game is copied onto the dvd about 3 - 4 times (waste of time) some game take the piss to load - 360 instant game play

    -better game - ps3 has good game like MGS but xbox has halo they both have good games

  • Ps3 os an old mans console

    Xbox louder but 1000 times more fun

    Xbox live is 7 euros a month

    Ps3 network is free , dog shit is free as Well ,but you dont want it .dont ya?

  • @campeondani Learn proppar grammar dumb ass. It is "is" not "os" and it's supposed to be man's and it doesn't go word(space),(space)word. Well should also not be capital.

  • @campeondani that's like saying "dogs are alive, humans are alive, dogs are humans"

  • @jojotjuh this has nothing to do wit wht he said!! funny tho XD

  • @campeondani lol..ur funny dude

  • @campeondani lol old man console? if you are normal human, you won't play videogames when you are over 16-20 And xbox is for a little kids.

  • @glazuna an xbox is for little kids? thats like saying a ps3 is for little kids, if its for little kids why is alot of games for them for 17 and above, and if your normal u wont play over 16-20? are you crazy? 80% of the players worldwide are ages 15-45

  • @daeGamer yes games are +18 but nobody looks at the age, so +18 games like GTA is a game played most by teenagers at 10-17. The normal people grow up and forget video games. I did that when i was 17.....

  • @campeondani dont cry haters

  • @campeondani oh shut the fuck up, your arguement has no meaning and is flawed by every word

  • @campeondani penis

  • install the game on the hdd, then it will be quieter!

  • Just buy a ps3 , its better

    -better graphics

    -free online

    -plays Blu rays

    -better games

    -its quiet

    -better bang for your buck

    Dont get me wrong , i have 2 xbox 360's in my household, im just saying , The ps3 is better esspecialy for the year 2010 with all the good games coming out

  • @SgtSLice PS3 is shite, doesnt support VGA support...which technicially makes it "not support all HD" and you have to put a £50 HDfury which has 50% chance of working, Blu-ray runs slower than DVD's so the loading times on PS3 are LONGER! proven! 6mb/s on PS3, 9MB/s on Xbox.

    game developers such as Valve dont make games for PS3! no left for dead :/

    The updates do take ages

    nothing is wrong with the Ps3 physically...but is it..pretty fucking boring :L i have one

  • @SgtSLice YOur a dumbass -Graphics are the same,free online my ass some way some how your making up the difference making it "not free",blu-ray.....wow congrats,no you guys don't have better games by a longshot besides a couple major hits,my left nut it is quiet have one no thank you i don't care how cool it is runs louder than a moaning bitch,sure......i'll let you think that keep trying

  • Honestly, there is no point to your insanity.

    People are going to buy what the like, whether it's a PS3 or a 360.

    Are you a salesmen for sony or something? Honestly, why else would you be wasting your time advertising it?

    Anyway, laters....

  • why dont you install the game to the hard drive? It slows the fan down whan you play games

  • @tehcacti Actually, it doesn't slow down the fans at all. It does reduce noise, however, because it doesn't spin the disc while it's playing, only to detect the game at the begining. In other words, it reduces DVD-ROM noise, not fan noise.

    I still find it funny that this guy replaced his fans with louder ones. At least it warns people like me from buying these fans....hahaha.

  • ps3 mad silent

  • lmao gotta love the 360

  • wtf donty xbox just stop making system wtf all of us had problem wit this shytt dame i like the 360 but if it keeps breaking im fucked

  • If you turn it around, from the position you had it, it will be much much quieter. That little area is very hot, making the fans work harder to push the warm air out. You should move it to somewhere where the air can circulate easier... Also, installing the game to the HD makes it quieter

  • any body getting 2 red lights is an easy fix, just remove the hdd, the and the front panel and then the 2 side panels, and give the grails a good cleaning.

  • them faces a 7% quiter :P

    and they move 56% more air =D

  • You can get a queit case from quietpc, its about 80 quid. that should make a big difference. you can get sound proofing material u can cut to shape from quiet PC or even Maplins and cover the cdrom drive with that. gud luck!

  • My Xbox is 3 Years old today, and It is very quiet, I have just got the 2 red lights, and the Xbox is VERY well ventilated. and I think the Fan's are starting to fail, Would you say that this is a good fan that I could use to replace the factory fans? I'm not bothered about the noise, as long as the fan does it's job.

  • is their dust on the fan if their is then your fan is startded to fail to fix it just take the dust out but that means you have to open it up

  • Thanks I took it apart, and cleaned the Fan, It's fine now, Thanks again.

  • LOL, you will find it's the CD ROM DRIVE making the noise!!!

  • i looked up how to make the xbox 360 quieter and it said the same thing and they said to download the game to the hard drive and it will help but it still has the fans running which i think is making it loud which sucks.

  • @deanbeasley I don't know why you got voted down but you're right.

  • I had the same problem. Your fans are running at full speed because your X360 thinks it's running too hot. Strangely, the fans are controlled by the ANA/HANA chip (search xbox-scene's forums for schematics). I fixed this by carefully blasting the chip with a heat gun to reflow the solder on the chip's pins (i.e. one of the pins has a cold solder joint). Then I put a Fry's heat sink on it with thermal tape for a few dollars. Turned it on and my fans now behave correctly (no longer noisy!)

  • Im gonna have to agree with Zyy920. That was hilarious. I dont know why. Oh yeah! Because im trying to solve the same problem. That made me tear up. From the laughing. =)

  • no your 360 is supposed to be in a more open space so the air / heat isn't trapped to cause red ring of death or an over heat it will be louder if its trapped in small space trust me i went a lot with microsoft and there starting to piss me off

  • its in a corner its bound to be louder because the heat is trapped

  • Hahaha! That was brilliant! I did not see that one coming!! Omg it was louder....

  • yeah mostly its the disk drive.. like at first when i got the xbox and played a game with one of those "stealthy scenes", the fan [disk drive] was incredibly loud and i was like wtf... then i found out about installing games to the hard drive and it just became so much quieter. Games also run smoother, for example the game doesnt even freeze due to scratches and stuff if you have it installed.

  • The hotter the Xbox is, the harder it will blow... The Xbox is designed to push the hot air out; from inside the Xbox, through the fan, and out the back... Where is all that hot air going??? Nowhere, it surrounds the Xbox in that cubbyhole which defeats the purpose of the fan... Open area dude...

  • yea, stuff the xbox, it will overheat it, causing it to overheat FASTER!

  • lol@ idiots complaining its so horrible if you have it in a small compartment. they blow air out and it'll leave the compartment

    but the whisper fan isn't that much more quite, but I have no clue why its louder for you o.O

    it's usually 7% quieter and blows out about 54% more air.

  • just install the games to hard drive...no more dvd drive noice

  • Let's just all each other stupid names! You all suck, morons.

  • I agree with laskov93; its definitely the CD drive. although the fans the machine comes with is noisy.. 70% of the noise i reckon is that cd drive.. just pop yours out and see!. (the cd disk anyway, not anything else. ew.) Of course you could always just save the game to the hard drive and store the disks in a place for a rainy day to solve that problem (:

  • its your disk drive

  • u idiot take it out of that compartment!

  • Your retarded just like the other guy.

  • The open compartment with lots of air around it? I can put a PS3 in a drawer and it will quieter than my loud Xbox sitting in an open room.

  • Take it out of the compartment dipshit, then it will quiet down.....Moron

  • Your an idiot for having it in that small compartment in the first place.

  • i have the same problem ive tried to get some computer master to fix it but they wont so i think im gonna get some noise cancellin headphones only thing is they are fuckin expensive

  • its the dvd drive thats loud but they fixed that problem

  • if you have a intercooler on it its loud as hell

  • lol the bottom air intakes are being blocked! if you block any fans in anything it will be loud!

  • Every console, wii ps3 xbox360 has new parts, mostly 360 but ps 3 runs hot aswell so it is vital for the condition of your console not to stuck it in a fucking drawer, put it on a top of your table just make sure its got space around it

  • retard move the xbox somewhere it can get air next time

  • but it looks cool, not that you ever look at the back

  • LOL ITS LOUDER,BUY A PS3.... APYAW

  • haha you crank me up nigga the same shit hapen 2 me pendejo

  • its way quieter u idiots are you def

  • go ps3 our kid

  • Lol it's louder

  • it IS louder

  • Also wanted to say the way you have your X-Box 360 in a small confined space like that is a good way to help it heat up way to quickly and will make the fans run way more often thus putting alot of wear and tear on the fans making them louder in the long run. Hope this helps any of you who may be experiencing this problem with the loud fan or constant running fan issues or the over heating issues. Happy gaming mates ! I hope this helps some of you out.

  • I just keep my X-Box 360 in an open space with 3 sides plus the fan side open to the air & you shouldn't have a problem I have had mine since launch & it's still working & the noise doesnt bother me because I'm 8 feet away from TV & my X-Box 360 is right next to it on a end table in the open breathing freely. Also have it linked to my computers hard drive that helps alot fan doesnt have to run because disc doesn't have to be in use all the time. The X-Box 360 stays quieter & alot more cooler.

  • im sure it doesnt help when your xbox is in a confined place like that, where it will overheat easily.

  • buy a ps3

  • mine isn't confined, is 1 week old and still makes about as much noise if not more.

  • haha, that was a surprise. thank you

  • "There's my stupid horse, with his metal face. Robot horse."

  • buy a 120gb hard drive then put all your games on your hd, makes LESS noise :D problem solved no putting 360 in different room

  • Good shit

  • Someone help me, I'm not sure what happens but, when I am on the Xbox dashboard my Xbox is fine but when I play something it gets pretty loud, not unbearably loud but my friend's Xboxs don't do it. Also if it's a DVD it's not as loud as a game.

  • its ur dvd drive... nothing is wrong with it its just some dvd drives are very loud like the hitachi drive.. xbox uses 4 dif ones and some of them are pretty loud lol..

  • Well I put the battery that plugs into the wall on top of it after my friend told me to try that and now it is really quiet and I can barely hear it, but why do they use 4 different fans?

  • no not 4 different fans.. 4 different dvd player brands.... over the years xbox has changed the dvd drives to better ones....

  • Oh, but it being louder should not mess anything up faster or at all should it? And like I said, once I put the battery thing on it it quieted down a lot.

  • naw.. the reason it quited down is because its putting pressing on the dvd spin

  • if you meant the big grey box for the xbox 360 that plugs in to the wall you must be stupid to think that sitting that on top will help the sound from the 360.

  • Why am I stupid for thinking it would work, because it did work, thus making you the stupid one, look like a jackass.

  • the "big grey box" is called a transformer

  • oh im sorry. i should have known. :S

  • idk if you noticed but a lot of nois comes from the power brick.

  • most of my noise comes from the pwr pak

  • yeah that happens to me. when the game is loading it gets much louder, but during the game it is quiet.

  • ahahahahha buy a ps3 ahahahahahahahah

  • Its the DVD drive making the noise im pretty sure of it. Got an Elite with a BenQ drive and the 360 is so much quiter then my newer revision arcade console with a liteon drive.

  • I have an Elite and a Pro. It's the Disk Drive and the Xbox360 Hard Drive Disk spinner in it's case. (I Mod Xbox's)

  • Comment removed

  • Actually if he would of also left the silver metal casing off probably would of been quieter. Alos more ventilation would help to. Leave it in an open area for a day or 2 while you play. It will get cool air in it besides the hot air coming off of everything.

  • Same horse , Same place.

  • hahahahahahhahahaahahahaha

  • should i buy a fan?, or risk getting the rings if death? plz answer!

  • well if you have a modded 360 meaning it was broken but you fixed it then i doubt you would get the RROD but if you NEVER had it broken before then there might be a slight chance but that is all up to you.

  • fan
