Never knew there where old xbox's with two fans. Learned somthing today :)

[@Four_X]

Yep. Microsoft got rid of it in later Xbox's, they just used a bigger heatsink.

Cool! I have 3 OG Xbox's I saved and softmodded from Goodwill over 2017-2018..but the 1.0 is my baby. Added new clock cap, thermal paste, new old stock Thompson DVD drive (hard to find!), cut some wires and fit a SATA adapter with 2 TB drive, added a LCD display to front with temp probe into my CPU heatsink, and painted shell my Petrucci guitar/Camaro color (2 tone purple/aqua). Nexus fan I added, but want to get the green adapters from Stone Age Gamer to add a new GPU fan, and see if I like this Noctua fan over my Nexus I got recently as main. I have over 12k CoinOP games I added and made preview vids for, plus all the actual XBox games plus isos like Rent a Hero remake! I use the OG 1.0 so much still!

Indeed those Noctua fans are quite quiet...

Now the Hard Drive is the loudest. I may upgrade to an SSD. Ha.

I have an Xbox version 1.2 or 1.3 and was wondering if you could make a video showing beginners such as myself how to solder a 3 pin fan connector onto the mother board. I know you mentioned that as being a possible solution and was wondering how to go about it. Great video btw!

[@DrGoldfieldHwang]

Should just be able to buy a 3-pin fan connector or desolder one from an old computer motherboard and then you'd want to clean the pads first, then just make sure it's the right way around stick the legs in the holes use flux and solder it in. Not much to it

[@HedgehogY2K]

Can't we use the 5v variant? Why is FLX mandatory?

[@Four_X]

No, it needs to be 12v. A FLX fan runs constantly at the same set speed at a certain voltage. Other fans like PWM fans, the speed is controlled by the motherboard it's plugged into.

[@HedgehogY2K]

@@Four_X I know what PWM fans are. I was just asking, wouldn't a 5 volt DC fan be better if you want it to remove more air? But then I researched and found out the Xbox uses a weird 6.5 volts and that 5v fans would actually burn out from overvoltage. Well that just smarts, I was hoping for Noctua fan options to bypass that 54.17% utilization. I guess my FLX will have to do. At least tell me the Xbox never reaches 70 degrees in any scenerio, cause my laptop runs hotter than that and it's been fine for years.
