FINALLY, A peaceful XBOX 360

Frustrated by the constant din of his Xbox 360, [Janne Ström] took action. The original situation wouldn’t have near sufficient space for the extra cooling that needed to be installed, so he chosen up Lian Li’s XB01 situation replacement. He complied with the illustrated disassembly guide to get the Xbox stripped down to just its motherboard. He then began fitting his coolers of choice: two huge Noctua NH-U9D0 units originally meant for AMD Opterons. The uneven warm sinks are meant for applications such as this where double sockets might make other gadgets difficult to place. clearly the hardest part of the installation was applying an appropriate amount of thermal compound as well as then slowly tightening the hold down screws to assurance even pressure. The resultant system ended up being quieter than the very first camera he attempted to record it with as well as the connected power supply. You can see a video of it below.
