Xbox 360 Cooling duct 50% more concentrated airflow mod

Mod your cooling ducbt to cool properly.
it splits the 2 fans so one cools the cpu and the other the gpu and concentrates the airflow on the heatsinks.

I haven't taken a close look at the 360 cooling solution; I know it has had troubles but lets keep in mind the cooling solution is, despite skeptics, ENGINEERED. That means they took all variables, heat sources, tolerances and air flow into the cooling equation. They know the proper heat rating of each chipset and accommodate. There could be nothing wrong with your cooling solution...or "concentrating the airflow ^50% could be starving a power supply component or similar from airflow.My $.02

This is a very good point your making, i havnt thought of it in that way. I ques you have to choose, personally im stil doing this to every xbox because most of the problems caused by the emense heat greated by the heatsinks therefore i want to cool them as much as posible

[atthetoast]

i agree it is a fire hazard,this guy is a dumbass,and it looks like shit sorry guy but just telling the truth so dont get sad or mad...oh and the main problem is overheating,microsoft hit a problem in the design stages they needed to make room for the disk drive,and honestly to kep this from happening would be to put a whisper fan max,and a xcm or is it xmc??oh well a xmc core fan,use and niko intercooler ex and a cooling stand like chill station or something similar...

[driftmanager]

so you agre its heting to hot, yet its a bad idea?? ur not the first to say its a fire hazard, read prveious comts i provided egintion temps for cardboard n tape, and the max temp the heatsinks wil get, if i rememba corect ther was a couple 100degress diftrnc, in other words ITS IMPOSIBLE FOR THE CARDBOARD TO CATCH FIRE. and its been in my xbox for ova a year. UHM does anybody see inside ur xbox???

[fleshe]

People are so fucking stupid!!! the plastic would melt on the factory duct work before the cardboard would ignite. He's not cooling the fucking thing with propane your fucking douche bags. So STFU and go choke on a cock

[trilogypart3]

While you get an "A" for effort, the bigger point is that you shouldn't have to do this.

It's a shame that there's no class action lawsuit in place to sue Microsoft for what is essentially a shitty design.

I feel bad for people who bought one of these pieces of crap. No one should have to mod the box like this, and no one should have to go thru all of the other shit that xBox users have gone thru.

"fire hazard"

"looks like shit"

"Microsoft engineers designed it"

It doesn't get that hot, it's inside the fucking case, and Microsoft engineers half assed the cooling because it's a cheap system, hence the RRoD. This mod works, just listen to the fans after he takes the duct off. They're working harder trying to maintain the temperature instead of having the air fed right to them. It works, now go read up on PC design.

And my processor is 11 degrees right now. Just sayin'.

douchebags below... it works.. just dont comment

[OMAxJESUS]

fire hazzard buy a slim

i sent my xbox in to microsoft 2 years ago cause rrod and just opened my xbox up cause i got the rrod again and this is how microsoft fixed it.. i complaned to them on the phone and the completly deny it and say they cant continue the conversation.

[xXxPAULEYDxXx]

thats sketchy as hell!

[HummerBuilder]

As soon as he took off the fan shroud you could hear the fans speeding up.

[Abcgum64]

@trilogypart3 I agree, M$ rushed this product too fast, and could have done better. Looking at he positive point though, at least it allows people to be creative, and maybe take that step towards becoming a first-time modder.

[BADASSED88]

ive never seen one modded xbox needless to say they could have put in a little more effort

[bmxracer254]

ummmmm.... That is going to catch on fire.

@driftmanager

we at the store use different solutions for the rrod.But this fix is nice! you should only have added a extra fan behind the cpu sink. if you have a 2nd gen gpu sink, place it on the end of the heatpipe, airflow will circle the air out. good luck !
