Xbox360 Cooling Mod - Forcing CPU fan to constant 7-8 volts

READ FULL DESCRIPTION - This is a simple modification that forces the fan that cools the CPU (the lower of the twin 60mm's) to a constant 7 to 8 volts without damaging the mainboard. By default the fans are fed about 3-5.6 volts. Increasing the CPU fan's voltage, and thus output will seriously reduce the CPU temperature.
Originally I used a Talismoon Whisper but it only lasted for a few months and failed. Luckily, I saved the original stock fans. After trying the well known "12 volt" mod (the same mod only w/o a resistor), I found that it forced the noise level of the fan way too high.
While this mod will increase the noise in your 360 a little, it will also greatly decrease the chance of seeing the dreaded, and common 'three rings of death'.
Note that opening your 360 **will** void the warranty.
Also, please do not use this mod if you are using a Nyko Intercooler.
Thanks for watching.
