Greetings,
I recently purchased my first xbox used on E-bay. I have a hardware question, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not. I've searched the forums for the answer to this question, and couldn't find it, so I apologize if it's been asked before.
I have a 1.0 Xbox, and my GPU fan is quite noisy. I purchased a fan on e-bay advertised as a GPU fan replacement, but (let the buyer beware), it's not the same fan, and there isn't a way to mount it. (Believe me, I tried)
What I'm wondering is this: Can I purchase one of the passive heat sinks from a 1.1 or newer Xbox mobo, and use it instead, and will it work just as well with no danger of overheating? Will it fit correctly?
I honestly haven't been able to find a direct answer to this, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
