Advanced Xbox 360 Custom Solutions for Improved Cooling and Connectivity

This report presents innovative custom solutions for the Xbox 360, focusing on improved airflow and video output capabilities. Key features include the integration of a whisper fan to enhance heat dissipation from the GPU and CPU, modifications to the case for improved ventilation, and strategic use of auxiliary power headers to support enhanced cooling. The design also ensures compatibility with both SD and HD video displays by utilizing component video connectivity. Recommendations for securing internal components and maintaining optimal angles for exposure are also discussed.

  3. Xbox 360 Repair

  4. Heat Dissipation • Whisper fan connects to stock fan input • Forces air directly through GPU and CPU heat sinks • Added heat sinks on Southbridge and scaler chips

  5. Two fans will be required to properly ventilate the case • Wanted to connect stock fan via USB, but it only provides 5V power • Would be necessary to use a USB fan • Located .pdf file which has detailed specifications of many headers (connections) on the motherboard • Auxiliary power header J7G1 will be utilized to power the stock fan +12V DC Ground

  6. Power • Power supply is bulky • Current version of xbox has a power supply half this size • Power connector is large and rigid • Wire directly to motherboard Ground +12V DC Reference +5V DC

  7. Case had to be modified • Sides were removed • Allows connections to underside of board • Allows more airflow • Reduced size • 3-outlet extension cord will be the only cord leaving the case • Provides power to Xbox power supply, monitor, and speakers

  8. Audio and Video Video cable with casing removed • Want to be able to display video externally without changing cables inside the case • Component video cord can toggle between SD and HD modes • Exploit this feature to display HD on our monitor and SD on RCA jacks • Newer Xbox 360’s have a built in HDMI port, so our theoretical design will use this to provide HD video externally

  9. ON the Agenda: • Determine specifications of “Xbox 360 slim” for use in our theoretical product design • Determine ideal monitor, speakers, etc. for theoretical design • Choose best method to secure components inside case • Determine how to keep the case open at the proper angle • Choose a glass substitute to protect the electronic components of the MAX • Update website with current progress
