Xbox 360 here with us for some years is, for the last few years of existence saw several enhanced inspections, went through several types of drives, passed Slight change in the cooling system design, etc. In the summer of 2010, lived to see a completely new review, which brought with it new design and amended internal layout, the biggest benefit is less noise. Its performance remains (of the 100% compatibility and maintaining optimized performance in all games) have the same for black, shiny, even a little thinner with built-in WiFi and Kinect port would not want me to pay again, what would be a sin is certainly worth quietness . About
buying a new Xbox 360 Slim I write here today will focus on what could be done with the old revision to achieve more efficient cooling and potentially even lower noise.
must point out that the following procedures for practicing their risk in any case shall not be liable for damage or destroy your machine due to improper or careless handling of the device. The following procedures require removing the warranty seal, which renal or removing immediately void the warranty. If the seals do not know how to work safely, put a hand out these practices.
You begin your adventure, and quest for a better Xbox 360
first part of the analysis, description of the cooling system
In this section you should have taken down the white plastic "packaging" and before you have a metal construction. By now you've circumvented the dilemma with the warranty seal, which is hidden under the grille. After removing the bottom of the white cover is necessary to unscrew a few screws - golden-yellow (the short) holds the base plate in a metal box and keep a long silver-white top cover (long ones). Torx screws are the type T10, after six long screws unscrewing the top cover should go slide upwards easily removed.
Now we have access to all the guts of this infernal box. In essence, a single base plate of the machine on which other components are soldered, the principle should be familiar to anyone who ever wrote the PC manually. Not 100% of PC hardware, its principle is very similar.
second main source of noise
not go around the bush, the loudest element of the drive. Unfortunately, most markedly drive is part of being cheated, noise and vibration isolation for reasons of maintaining reasonable prices, of course, is missing. Although models of drives from different manufacturers over the years been replaced by countless really, the noise does not sign the amendment. Here's the deal about very clear - just to avoid the use of mechanics. Either you can buy a hard disk drive designed specifically for Xbox 360 or any external USB HDD FAT32 assigned to 16 gigabytes for the Xbox, the console will then be able to use to install games, saving positions, game profiles, etc. The drive is thus only used for verification presence of optical media with the game itself running games are already providing data on the hard disk.
third CPU and GPU
Just like a normal PC and Xbox 360 features a central and graphics processor. It is the most important and thus most exposed components that can be adequately cooled. After removing the entire drive looks cool as a single large heat sink, but the CPU and the GPU has its own refrigeration unit. From the Sapphire version of the GPU block extended with additional ribs the one heatpipe, which is brought before the block next to the drive processor. Unfortunately, a fundamental part of the GPU heatsink for the drive (which sits on it) was very low and cooler with enhanced cooling performance is simply insufficient to GPUs.
The GPU cooler, the heat has nowhere to expand, so be it plastic air-tunnel trying to pay for a pair of small and very noisy fans that are using air-tunnel trying to blow hot air out of the plastic housing.
4th What can the system do? (Amateur)
If you have kindled the Xbox warranty and finally came to feel little Run a complete cleaning inside the Xbox and the vacuum cleaner or blown out with fins. At the amateur level, surely you can do to remove the air tunnel and pull himself hundreds of fans who, having no doubt carefully vyfoukáte. If you own an Xbox at least three years, none of the above actions will not regret it. Xbox will be like new - clean and a little quieter.
Whether you're a llama or a pro, so it should look like the result of your efforts to complete cleansing of the fans who suffer the most dust.
5th What can the system do? (Advanced)
advanced editing path opens up many new opportunities. Unfortunately it is difficult not only on skill alone, but also on your wallet. So if you are not afraid to pay more for quality and a feeling of luxury, you are not a long assembly and "tinkering" against the grain (should be rather fun), grab the screwdriver and rest to the shop.
For a typical PC would like to improve cooling performance usually buy a better cooler. On the right you can forget it here. All you can buy a pair of fans Whisper Fan. If you are more the quiet, straight to avoid these fans. While they are somewhat effective, but even if the manufacturer promises about 7% less noise, the opposite is unfortunately true.
Far exchange will be beneficial to both the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU. This is where most of the disastrous state of Inappropriate sprayed directly on the production and the cooling effect of moving in the cooling system. The exchange will begin by unscrewing the bolts of yellow and black. At the bottom of the MB is still necessary to release the backplate cooler, after which we unlock the actual cooling blocks remain in the hand. Before applying a new layer of our new and quality (if you have the job exchange with paste, and replace it with a new quality) pastes the residue must be cleaned last. It is clearly the best set of Arctic Silver ArctiClean - Thermal remover to remove residue and Thermal purifier to treat the surface cooler. Now Apply new layer of thermal compound and put together the entire cooling system to its original state.
somehow seems so old and it still wrong paste application.
very useful treatment (at a price significantly higher noise) can be fan operation at full power (12V 5V instead of default). A few lines below, insert a link to a video tutorial through which you can adjust the fan for maximum performance - who deliver this solution, I recommend a similar category video on YT supervision and tutorial made the switch between these modes.
latest and perhaps the most extreme option is to complete the transplant. In the 2008 CES in Las Vegas, Lian-Li introduced his unique (convicted for many Design) cabinet designed exclusively for the Xbox 360 The addition of more interior space (for better cooling) offers a decent one black with 120mm fans circulating air. He is punching the front door drives sucked in and blown out the rear fan. Cabinet has plenty of other interesting featurek for extreme modding, who would be more interested in this model, you can vygooglit under the name Lian-Li PC-XB01 .
So much for basic tuning options Xbox 360 Finally I will mention only a few basic rules: keep the insides clean, make sure the fan uninterrupted and continuous flow of air and last but not least, the physical law of the warm air that rises upward - the imagination has no limits, but any adjustment would be cool to maintain natural ventilation to this fact should be adjusted. That would be a game machine for a while again all.
