12v power from mobo

[Blazinkaos]

yea but im still having the issues where mine turns off. also even if i disconnect the fan it still turns of real quick after i put the 360 all together so idk wats up only way it work great is with the bottom panel on and no face plate or top panel..

little update, The fan has been working great. and i even built a little controller for the fan. heres the link for the fan controller http://www.heatsink-guide.com/content.php?content=control.shtml. Radioshack doesn't have the thermistors anymore, but mouser does. This is the one i bought, http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=334-NTC103-RCvirtualkey21980000virtualkey334-NTC103-RC. it works great, the fan speed increases as the temperature increases, and as the tempature drops, so does the speed of the fan. its better than having your 360 too hot, or sounding like a jet taking off.

but.. if i do this u think it may work maybe solve my issues probably.

Blazinkaos, im kinda confused with whats going on

[Blazinkaos]

ok i installed a fan where that 3 pin connection is on the mother right infront of the cpu idk u kno bout that connection and there a bridge u have to solder for either 12v or 5v to have the fan run off of so i picked 5 cuz i tried 12 and it would shut of real quick. but even 5 is doing after like 15 min of game play.

well i think i get what your saying. so you hooked an extra fan to the three pin connector on the original exhaust fan?

[Blazinkaos]

mm no seems ur not quit on track ok here this pic should help.

thats where i connected a 60 mm fan to it was a 3 pin that there a is a 3 pin connection and i solder a connection for the fan to connect to it.

[taylorclark]

hmmm. im not quite sure what to do. hopefully one of the pro's will chime in soon

[Blazinkaos]

yea i already asked one of the admin he didnt kno wat it could be but idk it only works real good with the top cover off and the 60mm disconnected thats the only way i can play.

try taking the extra fan out then. and then putting it back together

[Blazinkaos]

i tried that
it shut downs right when it gets to the menu.

hmm...i have no clue then

[Blazinkaos]

yea i was thinking of disconnecting that bridge point for the 3 pin and then converting my 60mm fan into a usb and see how that goes.. then put it together.

its worth a try, its not like you can do anymore damage haha

[Blazinkaos]

like i modded it looks bad so yea

[taylorclark]

[Blazinkaos]

Ok guys good news well i disconnected the 5v jumper on the mobo of the 360 and took my 60mm and convert it to a usb and connect to the back of the 360 and assembled the whole 360 together and it works doesnt shut down at all i played a game for 40 min straight air flow is good. Also i i did wat some ppl have done i place hard paper on the heat sink for more airflow. Seems to be working and ill be making a video and post it up for u guys.
