roflandstuff Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I'm starting my first Xbox mod ever. I had owned the original but got rid of it years ago and haven't owned an XBox360 since 2011. I had found an XBox on Facebook for $50, turns out it's a 1.6, fully functioning, and after I bought that my brother in law found his XBox while he was moving so I have that as well, haven't taken that apart yet. I've taken the first one all apart and cleaned it all out. The thermal paste on the GPU is super tacky, I've not run into a thermal paste like that before, is that normal? I plan on installing an Aladdin XT4032 and putting in a SATA HDD. If there's any other "You should totally do this" or "instead of doing that do this" let me know, like I said this is my first time modding the XBox. Happy Thanksgiving!

K-9 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hello Welcome If it was me I'd change the thermal paste, I use a hair dryer to remove the old coolers lol , and a mod chip for a 1.6 Happy Thanksgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflandstuff Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I did remove the heatsinks, I have new thermal paste but I have yet to put it on, the heatsinks are just sitting on top right now, but the old stuff was hard to get off the GPU with just isopropyl alcohol. The CPU came off easy enough but I also used a hair dryer to get the GPU heatsink off lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
