I had a an Xbox 360 that i was cleaning out its drive laser. I decided to connect the system fans to a 12v source, to see how powerful they are running at the voltage they were designed to run at. Microsoft decided to run the fans at 5-7v to keep the noise down. And thats probably why the xbox 360 overheats so much. As you can see in the video, running them at 12v greatly increases airflow and cooling.
