Title: I Got An Xbox 1.6 Motherboard For 20bucks Only One Bad Thing Mind Help
Post by: ISOmaniac29 on December 09, 2006, 03:21:00 AM
hey this is cool huh a buddy of mine had a 1.6 xbox motherboard he said he tossed everything

that didnt work from his old xbox and just kept the working motherboard

but decided he didnt want it so he sold it to me for 20 bucks! great deal huh
the only catch was it doesnt have a mount or stock heatsinks so it dont have cooling at all

reason for this is he used water cooling on it a bit much but hes worse then me when it comes to

heat i just like lots of fans anyways he said he never would use them so he threw all that stuff

away

anyways so i figured i would just buy two ICEBERQ 4 Pro's and put one on gpu and cpu
like i did my xbox but then i saw this page right here

id probbly look for a 370 one but anyways
now the ideas i have are flowing like no other about other cooling options i could do
so what im asking is would it be posible to replace the mount with another mount like this so i

could just toss a small ass heatsink in there with a fan on it

i bet you could use a slim volcano 8 if you did this they are tiny and whight is about 275g's?
and im sure it would do a kick ass job of cooling

problem is how easy would it be to get that mount on there or if its even posible i just wanted to

know if anybody else had this kind of idea?


hope i can get this done that would be cool i could do a better cooling job and bring back my other dead xbox back to life with better temps  cool.gif
