Xbox 360 Fans 12V vs. 5V (Nidec)

the 12v freakin annoys the hell out of me

those nidecs suck!, "theyre the best because theyre quiet" yeah well so is a dead xbox, delta rules, find me better fans i dare you! (that are comparable)

Delta DC Brushless have a way better airflow, that's right and it will take longer to get a RRoD or none. The only downside is the annoying whining sound.

mine dont whin t all, at full speed (when the 360 starts up some times) all youll hear is airflow, which is allot better than hearing no airflow if you ask me, the niceds sound horrible also how were these powered?, i hooked my fans up to a usb lead so when i turn the 360 off i can plug them into the usb ports which are still on and the fans dont spin as fast/as loud as they normally are on the dashboard (still good though), got the drive is loud sometimes though lol

5v suks u get rrod easy i got it after one year and one month hopefully the new 360 i get on9/12/09 will be a jasper and no more rrod

my back 120mm fan is 30v lol oh yer

noisy, but wft saves you from RROD.
would this mod be useful for a 360 falcon mobo bcause i know a guy that does it for AU$20 (US$15)

Actually 10.5 gives a nice balance - it's much quieter than 12v. I got 10.5 using a 9v/10.5v/12v switch - see my vids for info.

i second that but more realisticly 9v

just add a remote variable resister and bingo!, and the problem i see with the idec fans is the blade pitch is too shallow and the centeres are too big leaving very little room for the blades, anyone know of a good replacement (not whipser fans im not dumb enough to fall for marketing and bright lights)
