Xbox overheating even with new tp and 80mm fan mod
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:33 am
Good day community.
Encounter a bit of trouble with xbox original.
Got an xbox original (1.6) from a friend as a gift with softmod installed.
At first just wanna make it quieter and perform a 80mm fan mod (used "be quiet! Pure wings 2(wihout pwm))"with complete change of thermal paste to arctic mx-4. Maybe unnecessary, but decided to cut down RF shielding behind the fan.
Aftet all that temperature in system after 20min of idle with fan speed set to x5 (i use rocky5 softmod package and his dash if this info need at all) stay at ~55-60C.
After this i thought that cut too much from hdd cage and messed airflow a bit, so decide to "restore" a little bit of hdd cage with hot glue and part of plastic with no improvements in temperature (still 55~60C).
So i decided to use molex-3pin adapter to make fan work at full speed ( even with full speed it is a lot quiter than original fan) and temperature just went down to 2-3C.
Completely without fan temp is raising ( i just power off console at 65C to prevent overheat) so i assuming temp.sensor is working.
If this necessary: use "crooss" method on gpu, and add ~ a rice grain of thermopaste on cpu.
Any thoughts? What i do wrong? What i could do?
