Xbox 360 fan mod with switch? any tuts or pics of a diagram?

i did the 12v fan mod to keep my xbox 360 cool...

then i heard it can get me banned from XBL.

so does anyone know a tut or a diagram on how to add a switch so i can change the fan speed from default 7v to the modded 12v?



i got a switch that has 3 legs..im guessing the middle is for ground and the left and right are for the 12v and 7v.Xbox 360 fan mod with switch? any tuts or pics of a diagram?
It's not going to get you banned unless you pulled power from the dvd drive, then it's still a longshot because nobody really knows. I know for a fact if you pull power from the underside of the power connector you will not get banned.

Just remember that 5v point is always live when the power connector is connected.

You can also pull 5v from the power point right by the rol board input. It's a small point with a huge ground plane so you need to use a bigger iron to get the point hot enough so solder will stick.



If you have a 3 pin switch hook up the lead for the fan in the middle and hook up 12v on one side and 5v on the other.



If you want an adjustable fan you can buy a 10ohm rheostat with at least a 12w rating such as this.

If you don't want to go that route you can buy a 3 pin fan controller and modifiy it to work.



There are a lot of options, just search this faq

You can even add your own 3 pin power connector if you want.



Anyway if you have any questions let me know, you can contact me via my yahoo answers profile.
