Title: Xbox360 Power On, Weird Fan Sound
Post by: PiP on December 01, 2006, 12:55:00 PM
i have a stock 360 (with modded firmware), however ever since i have had it (even before I f/w modded it), sometimes when I turn it on, the fan inside stars whirring like crazy, and making loud noises. after about 2 minutes, it slows down and the sound is gone. what could be causing this? For some weird reason, by the time gets to the main menu (and normally exactly then), the sound stops. So I am guessing the software is controlling how fast the fan is spinning. Any ideas?
