Xbox Temperatures Verified, THIS SHOULD BE A STICKY Options

[nonamer66]

OK guys, I've been doing some temperature monitoring to see just how hot our little boxes are getting. I ran the test using Sega GT 2002 and having the computers play each other constantly. ALL FAHRENHEIT TEMPS:

CPU Temperature Test Results:

started at room temperature 77 degrees
15 minutes - 105 degrees
30 minutes - 120 degrees
45 minutes to 1 and half hours is steady at - 122 degrees

ok when I turned the xbox off the CPU jumped from 122 degrees to 127 degrees and from 127 degrees back down to 100 degrees took... ONE HOUR AND FIVE MINUTES!!!!

GPU Temperature Test Results:

10:06am Cold Start 80 degrees
7 MINUTES PASS
10:13am Stayed on menu since cold start and GPU is at 131 degrees
3 MINUTES PASS
10:14 am 131 degrees - Started Sega GT 2002 Game
3 MINUTES PASS
10:17am Reached 134 degrees
3 MINUTES PASS
10:20am Reached 136 degrees
1 MINUTE PASS
10:21am Reached 138 degrees
4 MINUTES PASS
10:25am Reached 140 degrees
4 MINUTES PASS
10:29am Reached 141 degrees
7 MINUTES PASS
10:36am Reached 143 degrees
20 MINUTES PASS
10:56am Steady at 143 degrees

XBOX GPU Reaches A Steady 143 Degrees in 52 Minutes

After Turning XBOX off when GPU is at 143 degrees. It doesn’t jump in heat like the CPU does. This leaves me to believe that the fan really doesn’t do anything for the GPU. After 8 minutes shut down the GPU has already cooled down to 116 degrees.


final thought... Even If you have only opened your xbox just to put a modchip in then you have voided your waranty. You should strongly consider finding a way to keep your temps down because you can't just go send it back to microcrap if you have overheating problems.
