Xbox 360 Power Usage

[Al9bob]

Hey, does anyone know the power input for a Xbox 360. I currently dont know what motherboard it has, but I want to change it's power brick to a PSU and I dont really want to buy a PSU that is just overkill on power, but I dont know how much it uses.

im working on converting my 360 to a psu too, look on the power brick...
203 watts no hdmi=Xenon
203 watts with hdmi=Zephyr
175 watts with hdmi=Falcon
150 watts with hdmi=Jasper
and for a power supply something with a sustained minimum power of 12v DC current at 16.5 amps, and 5v DC at 1 Amp.

the different boards have some difference in amps but it shouldn't matter.

I currently dont have a power brick or cords for my xbox because i bough a cheap one with no cords or hard drive knowing that i was gonna mod it. Could you also tell me the what voltages i would need, or just 12Volts output

[That Tech Kid]

12volts @ 16 amps
5volts @ 1amp

Yes, that supplies 18A on the 12v line and 25 on the 5 volt line so you're good.

i just converted to the pc psu tonight, after some minor tweaking i got it to work, ill be posting a tutorial on a very easy way to do it with easy instructions tmrro.

Alright cool man, thanks for the tut, im gonna make my case first, then do it

[That Tech Kid]

no problem, and im doing the opposite, i converted to the power supply, and now im making my case, just got my 1/4 inch lexan tonight. im considering water cooling it but thats another $100.00 so ill probably just stay with a lot of fans.

[Al9bob]

Im gonna Attach Fans to the heatsinks to keep them cool and make a lot of ventilation with a lot of fans

[That Tech Kid]

as much as i want to water cool it im most likly gonna do the same thing and just add a ton of fans

[Al9bob]

That or i will hook up the water cooling system i have just laying around
