hello! this has taken me ages to get finsihed, all the time my mates bros had what ive needed ! at the mo in my xbox i have a 40mm fan on my gpu, a 40mm on the cpu (being changed for a flat 60mm shortly) and a 40mm with blue leds in the back for exhaust. in xbmc its running about cpu 50 degress c and gpu is running at 40c, ive seen it get to about 60/50, but generally straight after a game its on aorund 55/45 it does go down to 48/38, on xbmc and it cools very quickly cos i usually have the fans set at 100%, are these safe tempertures and is it cool enough, i think theres enough fans and cooling going on to keep it sweet wot do u reckon? the 60mm is going on as soon as some cables are sorted, and also for the exhaust i will have 2 40mm with leds, im blueing it out eventually! i was trying all week to get my mate to take photos to show ya but no luck yet, one other thing is the dvd board - on the ide cable does the hard drive have to be on the last connector or or can i get it on the 2nd postion? it might be my hard drive is on cable select hence i got a error 7, but i dont know if its an xbox thingy and needs to be where it is!

The 50 and 60c is a bit too high and i wold try to get them down to no more then 49c.
Im almost sure that the dvd and hdd need to be in the order thay are in and your hdd will need to be set to master or you will get an error cade.
I have been told that you can use cable select but i never do.

i thought that 50/60 was a bit too high, i also think a factor is that its not totally airtight the dvd drive doesnt have a drive in it so its open, when we get the bigger fan of the cpu and the 2nd exhaust should sort it out, i am right in thinking in xbox games the fan goes to stock speed? the two cpu and gpu run of ide so i think they are sweet what is the best temp to have it at also? ive seen silly amounts of fans on some xboxs, and i dont mind adding more its now pretty silent which is well the most impressive thing especially at 100% and u can barely hear it! should if i run most the fans from the ide they should stay at 100% yeah?
