Post by: nannou on May 26, 2008, 11:38:00 AM

the heat gun fix worked for a while know i have to do it again but i was thinking on doing some more cooling mods. i think i only haven't tried the 12v mod.

I added 2 fans to my system - 70mm 12v next to the CPU heatsink, and 80mm 12v above the GPU heatsink. Cut a hole for both of them, and they're taking air *in* to the console. Runs like a champ.

Only works on pre-Falcon systems

It's very easy to add a 12v line to the board if that's not an option, RDC has it all laid out in this thread

Yes, you want to be bringing cool air into the system.

There's no filter, but so far dust hasn't been an issue. I've had the system for over 2 years, still completely dust-free. It's kept in an entertainment center cabinet, which is kept closed when the system isn't in use.
