I'm definitely going to look into this! My 360 does get kinda loud.

Have you tried this yet?

I cant figure the top thing out.

I have a much easier method that requires no tools and only seconds to complete:

TURN UP TEH VOLUME!! RAHHHHH!!

Not when you are sneaking it in =)

i really wanna fix my problem, but dont know the technical stuff. definitely look into this.

This works much better. After using this, your xbox won't make A SINGLE SOUND!!

**carsey** · 08-01-2007, 06:18 PM

A great way.

Its the cooling they really need to worry about.

Jack.Sparrow · 08-01-2007, 06:22 PM

Solid Block of ice? Better yet, crush it, then feed it into the box. Cool it from the inside out

Ahh it will happen to your ps3 sooooooooooooon.....

Jack.Sparrow · 08-01-2007, 10:09 PM

The ps3 is a far more superior machine

but let's not make this thread into a debate about which is better.

I like ps3 and I also appreciate the fact that some people don't, just to be clear

**Rockafeller** · 09-24-2007, 03:12 PM

Hey cool can this also work with the original xbox or just xbox 360?

1 g0t 0wn3d · 09-24-2007, 03:23 PM

Just 360 there is a different way for the origanal

ebackhus · 09-24-2007, 03:44 PM

When my warranties run out I plan to do some m4d mods to my XBoxes.

1 g0t 0wn3d · 09-24-2007, 03:54 PM

Liquid cooling?

Hi
what about using a firmware mod to 'slow' the drive down mine now reads at 8x and the noice is hardly noticeable, no real affect to rerad speeds either.
