I just picked up a nice original Xbox locally that's been modchipped and given a 320 GB harddrive. It boots to XBMC, has sizable F: and G: partitions and even with controllers, component cables, and two USB to Xbox adapters.
However, there is an annoying problem. Whenever the system initiates a program such as an emulator or runs a disc, the fan speed goes CRAZY.
I can configure XBMC to override the fan speed to a constant 20%, but something - perhaps the modchip - is interfering with that, causing the fan speed to be more like 70%, which is extremely loud. In addition, whenever the fan speed issue arises, the system also cycles the eject LEDs from green to red to orange and then repeating. This is not as annoying as the fan speed issue, but I've been unable to change this either.
Some info if it helps:
When the system boots, the Xbox logo is orange, and instead of saying "Microsoft", it says "BOXX DR"
Originally softmodded using the mech assault 1 save exploit
Revision: 1.2 or 1.3
Modchip: DuoX 2 GS
Detected BIOS: X2 5035 137gb+
Kernel Version: 1.0.5035.1
dashboards installed: M$, XBMC, Avalaunch, UnleashX
I'm not really that knowledged in Xbox troubleshooting, as the Xbox I've had for years and years has never had issues related to the fan speed.
Anyone know how I can solve this fan speed issue? I already have gone through XBMC to override it to a constant 20%, but any time I'm not in XBMC because I've launched a program or game, the fan returns to its very loud 70% state.
Would I be better off installing another fan? I've read about 80mm fans that produce as little sound as 15dB.
thanks.
