IPTDF00 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) So I have put in an 80mm fan, did my best to shroud it to the hard drive caddy for best static pressure, and have redone the thermal paste with Arctic MX-4. But, I am still seeing around 60c temps just sitting at the dashboard while doing FTP transfers. What are normal idle and load temps for an OG? And how can I help the cooling even more? I don't know how hot it should run but, I know if it were a PC I would want CPU temps below 50 at load. That may be unrealistic in the situation of the Xbox because I build "higher" performance PCs. Edit: I have connected the fan via molex to in theory have it running max. Before this fan, I used a 3pin but changing it to anything higher that 2x in system settings it would stop spinning.

cOrPsE Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 green fan looks sick. you could put a heatsink on the MCPX chip with adhesive pads. if you did all that and the temps are 60c I am not sure. Sometimes it doesnt seem to make sense. I did the same thing to 3 xboxs (fully cleaned, thermal paste changed etc etc) and 2 of them idle at 40c, one idles at 55c no matter what. I have heard the xboxs chips are rated for 100c before the xbox shuts down, and I have a suspicion your xbox may idle at 60c yet not go over that while gaming.

big F Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 My ones that I have checked all seem to fit between 40 and 60 on idle. Seems to be the norm. I wonder if water cooling would be any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
