This gets better and better!

I have a question. Is the team aware of the high gpu usage this program has?

Here is my example with a jtagged falcon.

Start the console, open xexmenu, let it idle for 15 minutes. The gpu gets around 72°C.

I close xexmenu, return to nxe and instantly i hear the fans spin down. Wait 30 seconds and then open xexmenu again.

GPU temp is around 60°C! This goes up FAST. In a minute it's back at over 70°C.

How can the program put so much stress on the gpu so fast?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/muhaha.gif)

LOL my xenon is at 58.8 period and my falcon is 65ish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I've noticed this too. My GPU is actually cooler after a gaming session than sitting xexmenu FTP'ing games over :/

same here with my falcon at around 70!  I added a 60mm fan over the gpu copper extension and my gpu temp dropped down to 56.

I've got the same issue .. the highest GPU Temp. is when Idling on XeXMenu

me too - my ram hits just over 80 on my xenon!!!  makes me cringe everytime I have to leave it running for transferring

also.... it would be nice if there was a way to have games installed in the Games folder, but with a jpg or png matching the folder name, of the box covers for the games, to view them like that rather than the pictures that load up for the games that are disc held.

Also, for some reason my game Saboteur, in xexmenu, the pic is all orange and distorted and doesnt show the proper picture?  any ideas why?

You need to add another fan to your system or increase your fan voltage to 12V


everything you need

yup I've been looking into that over last few hours.

I plan to probably put some whisper fans on....

but i've just seen that there is a fan speed patch tool for jtagged consoles.  I've just downloaded the older version from xbins, ran a patch on the autospeed, and now the fans are whizzing like a hairdryer at presumably 100% (think thats the same as doing the 12v mod - but no more soldering yayy)

Just trying a few things out now to keep eye on temps and see how much improved

[minus5252]

Are the whisper fans any good? I tried one a few years ago, and thought it was just as loud as my old one...I was using a talismoon.

from what I've read - they seem quite good....as in just for pushing more air out - but not really any quieter.

On upside....I've tried out the 360 a bit since putting the speed to 100% on fans.

Machine much cooler.  Beforehand, everything was originally around the early 70s in my console (shortly after jtag with the case still open mind)

in fact just found the old post

QUOTE

CPU : 77 degC
GPU : 77.5 degC
EDRAM 83.2 degC
MB : 30degC

as it stands now

58.6
59.4
63.3
27.4


Weird though that I can play games, both xbla and just recently saboteur...and the gpu runs cooler.  The moment I load up xexmenu - the gpu starts increasing within about 60 seconds or so by about 3 or 4 degrees

[nevernow]

Same situation here, played a game for a while, quit, launched Xexmenu and the GPU temp started growing.

How much loader was the fan at 100%? How did you set it to 100%?

ok 1st thing to do is go to xbins and get the fan speed flasher but the older version not the newer one then download this http://www.ddxcb.com/crap/patcher.rar and just patch the autospeedxex then run it on xexmenu and restart the xbox and then it should sound like a hairdryer as i said my temps are between 50 and 70 now but if you can put up with the noise its worth it especially on a xenon hope that helps ya

all credits go to ddxcb over at xboxhacker

so...

download the file in the "_OLD" folder....I believe its called fantool...not the main one
then extract the link above to same folder.
then run the patcher and set it to patch the autospeed.xex file with the 100speed.patch file
copy it to usb or whatever
load up xexmenu
browse to folder and launch autospeed.xex

the system will then go black for a few secs and then you'll return to the 360 dashboard.

Switch the console off, wait a few seconds, then back on again and it should be going at full speed then

hope that helps

only thing I'm wondering about that fan speed tool.....does it actually in effect tell it to give the fans 12v to go full speed?  Or does it just stay at 5v still but still maxed out to the limits that 5v can.  If its the latter, then jeez 12v must be loud

It's 12v, the app changes how much voltage is supplied to the fans.

Tried the 75speed on my zephyr and didn't work, I'm gonna try the patching.

The only properly working fanspeed xex's are the ones made with ddxcb's patches
