this is really weird.
i just put my xbox back into its case and it turns on and runs fine. but then i turned it off, turned on my chip, and evox says my CPU is 163 F and rising and my mobo is 85 F and rising

i have no idea how my cpu is 163 when i havent had my xbox turned on in a couple days, and what scares me is that it keeps going up. i finally turned it off when it got over 165.

help lol

the m/b is fine at 85, mine usually is around 100, but your cpu is out of the ballpark, are you sure you didn't do anything to it when yu took it out of the case or put in back in??

could it be from something blocking the fan that blows onto the heatsink?

my fan is actually blowing out now... isnt it supposed to be blowing in???

no its supposed to blow out. I thought the xbox shut down at 160???

maybe i never noticed that it blew out b/c its the first time i did the 12 v mod in an xbox case (did it when my xbox was in a pc case.)

im not sure what was wrong but ive been running it for a while with the top off and ive moved some things around so it'll be fine

mine hit 161 cause i took too much power from the fan whn i installed a light bar and a led fan

but it didnt shut off

maybe only in the ms dash... no maybe not.. maybe its just 170

sorry to jump your post man but i just did the 80mm fan mod and im still getting CPU temps of 58-60 degrees.
Surely it should not be that high. It drops to 53-54 if i crank the speed to max (5) but i dont want to coz its loud, thats why i did the mod

60 degrees is above average :/

the fan i have is not brilliant but its good, its still not performing better than the stock fan thou :/

I have it plugged into the MB. im not using a 4 pin molex connector because i wantl to use the speed settings in avalaunch/unleashx.

Anyone else had this prob?

chers sirs

So did you fix the problem or does it still rise up?

Also..That's one hell of an avatar
