So I changed the thermal paste...

Post by weegeesoul »

I changed the CPU and GPU thermal paste on my xbox ver 1.6. In xbmc the temps are about 30°C on CPU 35°C on GPU at 10% fan speed.
Now I was wondering if there is a way to check the temps ingame, when the system is under load. Also I've read something about 1.6 xboxes not being able to give accurate temperature information.

My xbox doesn't have a modchip installed and It runs the newest version of xbmc4xbox (3.5.3).
And I also plan to do a 80mm fan mod.

You can't check the temperature when playing a game. You have to reset console and load dashboard.

Ok thx. Now I checked the temps right after playing games for about 30 minutes and rebooted back into xbmx. Temps were about 50-55°C. Is that alright?
