Overheating
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:56 pm
First, I would like to say thanks to everyone participating on this forum.
I downloaded the stable 3.2 build to replace an old bloated version of XBMC. It's nice to see a forum that is still actively discussing the original XBOX. I hadn't used my box in a while because I wasn't happy with the interface and I was having issues (outlined below).
I suppose my first question is, at what temperature does the xbox reboot? Previous versions of XBMC that I've had rebooted randomly, but then would keep cycling through reboots. I've been running the 3.2 version this morning for an hour, listening to music on the installed HDD. Max temp that I've seen is CPU 120-122oF and GPU 100-105oF, with my settings saying the ideal temp should be 115oF...I'm assuming the fan is maxed out trying to keep the temp down.
Curious more than anything - what is normal operating temperature? I have my xbox inside my TV stand with my receiver, so warmer than room temperature. I'd much rather hear that the rebooting previously was the result of an overheat...not another unrelated hardware issue.
Thanks in advance.
