Modified my xbox 360

Needed a change of pace so i decided to swap out the stock TIM with some AS5 and make it a bit quieter by removing the fan grills.

my helper from mars LOL

i booted it up and ran a race, the heat came out much faster which meant it was working and it made a big difference with fan noise. im actually really suprised how much quieter it is now.

better line that thing in aluminum foil lol

so seriously, what the heck is that thing from? haha

And like Kruten said...I think some further modding is needed to make those holes look better.

you cant really see the holes because they are within the outer plastic shell so it just looks like normal. the mars helmet is a trash can lid. lol
