80mm fan mod for Original Xbox - suggetions?

Post by Satoshi_Matrix »

I've got a very very noisy Xbox that's been modded in the intenral bios to run at about 70% maximum speed. In addition to fixing that I'd like to replace the fan with a quieter one. I've heard 80mm fans can be installed with minor modding with an exacto knife.

What I'd like to know is if there is any particular fan that people would recommend I go with - one that's best suited for the task of being quiet and running via the Xbox motherboard.

btw i like the sound of loud Fans as if i can hear them and they sound right they are working properly.

I installed a Antec 120mm in my older PC and its loud which i like , also i have installed Talismoon Fans into my 360 and they are loud aswell.

Yeah. I know how to install a fan, I'm just looking for specific recommendations for a quiet fan that can be put into an original xbox.
