Seeing this thread I am wondering how can I get 7v from an xBox360 to get the fans running all the time, but avoiding the noise. I already modded an xBox making a hole on the top of the case and installing a 60mm fan (& grill) on top of the GPU secondary heatsink (the piece just in front of the CPU heatsink), running at 12v, pulling air (hot air, in fact). I have another one that I want to give a less heated life but I don't want to make a hole on it's top, and I don't want to spend on an aftermarket fan set (like 25~30, but that on top of the 360's price, is way too much). I know where to get 12 & 5v from the PSU input.
It is recommended to do this? I've seen people pulling 12v from the DVD power, but I don't think it is a good idea. I took it directly from the 12v input.
5v fans don't move much air and I don't want aftermarkets, so it is either the 5v fans running at 12v or at 7v.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
