Add fans without using power from console

Post by BeastOfMidian »

Help! I want to add fans to my Xbox360 without using power from the 360. I've had 2 RROD, so I was thinking about getting a Jasper and adding some fans. The Jasper is supposed to be better, but I don't trust M$ anymore!!!
I'm a hardcore(FPS)gamer, so my 360 gets a lot of play.

Tips on how to keep the 360 cool will be greatly appreciated.

-------Thanks :D

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

If you're not going to be nice, why don't you go elsewhere? That second post wasn't necessary (he was trying to be funny), and I thought the first one was an idea, if you don't want to use any power from the 360.

If you're going to continue to call people names, please just leave before you get banned.

If you get a jasper, you shouldn't need any fans. Microsoft has a great warranty for the RROD (something like 3 or 4 years). Depending on how much you cool it, you might make it go until just after the warranty expires before you get a RROD.

Dude, they were joking. Now you can't expect to get any help at all since you said that crap. I had some really great advice for you on this, but now, I think I'll keep it to myself. :wtf:

I seriously, seriously have know idea how you want to add fans to the 360 without using power from the 360. :lol:

maybe if you could explain better what you want. Any fan you mod into the 360 is going to use the 360's power. Oniak's post is probably the best idea. Or maybe you could use one of those Pelican cooling units from gamestop for the 360.

GEEZ! :D

Edit: but seriously everyone, don't retaliate with that kinda stuff. I don't want as much hate going around the forums.

I see that you still haven't ceased to be rude. :facepalm:










I see a ban in your future.

If you are going to swear, just do it. Then the people who have the sensor turned off see it, and the people who have it on don't.
