    adding a fan to 360


    ok I build computers and repair electrics. so I know what im doing. I have a 360 that over heats and have cleaned, replaced the fans and themal paste. the warranty has been gone for years. leaving the case off and using a cpu fan it works just fine. so just
    for kicks I was looking on the forums and have found that if I actually attach this fan to the xbox and modify the case so it all fits back together I can be banned from Live. is this really something that is that big a deal that, that Microsoft would be so
    financially hurt because I dont want to buy a new 360 and fix my old, istead of buying a new one I could be banned?

    :)

    Self-repair is a violation of the terms of service and can result in being banned. It has nothing to do with what you plan on doing with it, except that it's just part of Microsoft's terms of service that they are the only ones who are authorized to fix
    a console. They consider it to be system tampering.

    Yeah. Fixing it yourself is technically against the rules. If the original fans are working correctly, then your thermal paste of choice sucks, and you clearly don't know what you're doing.

    I'd totally tell you what I really think your course of action should be, but I can't because well, these are Xbox forums and I don't wanna break the rules :V

    That is an interesting idea. It should be cool for a lot of avatar fans. Personally, I like them. I think they added life to the Xbox 360 dashboard and themes.

    There's a lot of changes with the Slim model, here's a couple of the major ones:

    They FINALLY added Wifi

    It feature one large fan instead of two small fans

    Optical audio is now an option straight from the 360

    And the most important, the CPU/GPU is a single-chip (which uses less power and gives off less heat)
