80mm Silent Fan Mod

[fxmech]

The 15mm design is not going to move enough air (unless they move very fast? In that case it will be as noisy as the stock fan.)

Will a 70x70x25 work without excessive cutting? The wider blade will push more air at less RPM, quieter.

I am tempted to try one out l. I want to avoid ordering a whole bunch of them if I have to cut anything on the case. Ideally, there's a 70x25 fan that fits in the Xbox without having to modify anything but the fan itself

[Munch]

but why isn't my fan controller not responding in changing the Volts?! how much Volts is the 100% setting in XMBC or the 5x speed in the unleashed menu?!

[fxmech]

6v maximum

[Munch]

wtf only 6v? how do you get the fan spinning much more then?

[Munch]

Step 4:
Now tidy up the rough edges and bend the metal outwards slightly (so the fan doesn't clip it otherwise it will make a very annoying noise!).

nice guide dude. I gonna put a 80mm fan inside. got one here for testing and it was really a pain. Why did you just bend the metal outwards? I don't think you need that metal holder on the top of the grill anymore? I just cut it!

What are good CPU and GPU fans with blue LED's?

[Nextelhalo]

These used to be the best when they were still available. Wish I had a few laying around. If you find one make sure it's the PRO or else it's alittle too small and the screw holes will not line up with the motherboard.

I think you would need a fan that can be manually adjusted for that.

If softmodded check your softmod settings menu (usually comes with the save)
(Example is NKPatcher Settings, this is what mine is called in my 2016 softmod)

If chipped or TSOPPED, you need to change the fan speed in the bios & reflash it.

[XC-3730C]

How do you change the fan speed in the BIOS? Can you then adjust the speed afterwards?

Depending on what bios you used, it could be a simple as editing a file on your Xbox HDD or using a application on your PC to change it.

M8 bios example.

Just edit your C:\ind-bios.cfg with a text editor & add fanspeed=50 for 100%

[scroeffie]

do you get a white X logo screen, with a low rez ind-bios logo?

if you do your running the internal config, you will need to add one to C:\

Here is mine, with the fan speed set to 100%, just change the boot paths to what you need.
