Tutorial: Xbox One Mod | Swap Stock Fan With LED Fan 

You used a AF120 which is not optimized to pull air through that heat sink use a SP120

You can use machine screws and washers to attach the 4 holes on the bottom of the fan through to the heat sink. Small machine screws will fit in the gaps between the heat sink fins. Secure with a small nut and bam ur done, glue free. Otherwise awesome video. Would like to see how the hot glue has held up! Lets get a follow up video and see what it looks like now!

2 problems i immediately see-you now have no fan speed control, and your hot melt glue WILL eventually end up on your mobo or clogging up your heatsink.

hot glue to an heatsink? next to heatpipes? with a medium temps of 60 degrees? sounds nice

does it run at full speed and is there a way to control the speed of the fan

You don't have to solder! You could just get a vga fan to pwm fan adapter cable. This works just fine

could I use a 140mm fan so it could line up with the mounting holes?

Better idea! DO NOT USE HOT GLUE on your heatsink 🤦🏻‍♂️! The vanes of the heatsink can accept a screw between them easily. It doesn't damage the heatsink. The vanes are pliable enough yet strong enough to securely hold the fan as well. This video was with that one exception. Do NOT use hot glue near hot or warm very warm objects.

Looks awesome :D

Anyway to use an LED strip inside of the fan for a similar effect?

does anyone know what the other two are like which one is the 5v switch?

hi man, 1st of all thanks for this really cool one, 2nd thing will it be OK to select any 120 mm fan? or I have to stick to some spec's? thanks

do u have any red ring Xboxes your getting rid of

Can i use zip ties to hold the fan?

yeh nice job been wondering what to do with my xb1

thank you so much i need this

Does it make any quieter, or any better cooling?

Claro echarle silicona caliente al disipador esperar que se enfríe para que pegue pero cuando una xbox One trabajo el procesador se caliente junto al disipador aunque le pongas un ventilador para (mantenerlo frío) realmente solo botar la aire caliente así que el silicón se vuelve a calentar y adivina donde caerá esa silicona exacto en la placa base de la xbox one

So my led fan has 4 wires and the xbox stick fan also has 4 wires witch wires goes were

i just did it the exact way he did it the only thing that i dont like is that it stays on at a constant speed and stays on for a minute when the xbox is off but it works fine and looks alsome

Hello, I just did this and my fan I used was a 4 pin PWM Cooler Master Fan and the fan runs at full speed all the time, I've only connected the Positive and Negative wires together and previously with all 4 wires connected it still ran at full speed, any thoughts how to fix it?

Is that from 5v to 12v

Was the airflow better then it was before or was it any quiter? I just want to know it looks! sick nice tutorial I might do it after I do the front leds.

Hi help me please . I want to change aftermarket fan. 1. Pwm aftermarket cable off 2. Originál Xbox fan VGA conector off 3. Connect pwm aftermarket fan cable to VGA originál connector and thats All ? Xbox is ready to start ? Thx

The brackets that mount fans to the hyper 212 might also clip onto that heatsink.

I'd like to do this but the hot glue worries me. Isn't there any bracket to make it so we can screw the new fan in place?

Don’t they sell fans already modded with the plug?

whybdid you.choose a 120 when you could have used a 140 and adjusted the fan shroud? more air and less fan speed...

A 4-pin PWN fan and PWM adapter works wonders my guy.

Is the fan speed the same as the speed with the stock one (does the speed changes the same as with the stock one. Example: when playing a demanding game the fan spins faster). Looks sick, I'm planning on doing this

BOOOM! hes at it againn!! cool vid buddy,.. anything planned on the ps4?

My fan won't spin but the LEDs light up do you know what I could be doing wrong? I have the exact same one as you used in the tutorial

Does that fan use more power than the original fan? It could possibly be an issue if it uses more electricity than the original

Do a tutorial of connecting multiple fans

The stock fan blows air up and out top of case. Installing another fan, better be careful it’s spinning in correct direction. Hey thanks for sharing 🤪

Why not keep the stock fan and just put leds on the stock fan?

Lmao @ using hot glue. Why not just use zip ties? Hot glue lol What do you think will happen once that glue warms up again? 😬

Wouldn't this make the Xbox one cooler because of the blue light

I know this is late but Im just wondering, when you did this and plugged in the xbox did the fan run and the xbox not turn on ? If I plug out the fan after the fan shuts off and plug it back in the whole xbox works but if I unplug the xbox and plug it back in it does the same thing. Any idea why ? Btw, Im using the same model fan but mine is static pressure but I dont think there is much difference.

Bad info here! Just get a 120mm pwm LED fan designed for heatsinks. No soldering..

So you only need two wires????

They make adapters for the motherblard to aftermarket fans

basically wasn't talking about earlier was that want to get mods on Xbox one by all know how to and that's all really is basically I want them and I would pay pay for it but I don't know how to do it cuz I dunno how to get mods on that I don't know how its like step one two step without step 1 100 I just need tutorial on his bike you show everything

why nobody is using little screws ? in older CPU coolers they was used to hold the fan in place :)) Its way Bettler Athen hotglue ?? and smells better :D

What do i do with the 3rd cord on the fan?

pretty sick!

sorry but you wont see the LEDs in the first place the grills face the opposite direction

Think about it, how glue melts when it gets hot, right?! And your putting it... on a literal heat spreader, which is designed to become hot, right?!

Always use oem parts

Nice

Why are you putting hot glue near the hottest point of the Xbox it'll will melt over time n damage your mother board should have used something else don't know what gonna look into it and I'll re comment but thank you for the tip I would highly recommend not using hot glue

should of used pwm fan, with pwm adapter to control the fan speed, looks good tho, i did this with my red led fan and cut a window to show off the led strips here is the adapter www.amazon.com/Graphics-Cooling-Connector-Adapter-Conversion/dp/B005ZKZEQA/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1443647165&sr=8-13&keywords=pwm+fan+adapter

Just buy a fan adapter

Tronix fix !!!

Wtff is this, why would u only twist them together, and why tf would u put hot glue near a heat sink that'll damage it and most likely will melt as the xbox heats up

If the Xbox gets really hot the heat sync will re-melt the hot glue onto the morherboard

Instead of grinding those upper tabs on each corner, just simply do not put the metal cover back onto the xbox one cage, only install 2 t8 self tapping screws on each opposing corner right into the heat sink cooling fins, being careful NOT not hit the heat sink pipes, or you can use 4 t8 up to you, 2 will be more the sufficient to hold the fan onto heat sink, then simply just install the speaker and wifi card to the side of the metal case onto each surrated surfaces on the side of the bottom metal case assy. being sure to drive the screw... ( one for the speaker, one for the WiFi card ) with the shank side going into the inside off the xbox one component area, One ea. will be sufficient to hold those items onto the side of the metal bottom case, so that they're not rattling around inside the case. Then take all the screws from the top metal case and simply reinstall them to there respective locations so that they will secure the other components to the lower outter black plastic case, Then simply reattach the xbox one black plastic outer case Cover back on, and now that you didn't install the upper metal case, now you can clearly see your l.e.d lights shinning through the intake air fins of the outer black case cover and the new fan will be able to pull allot more cool air into the xbox one, thus cooling it allot more efficiently.

hot glue lol sureeee

Don't cut the fan wire - You can get a conversion wire from amazon and it will be clean www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZKZEQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

how do you get a modded xbox one cuz I don't know how

That fan looks more aimed at speed rather than pull strength

People who complain about the hot glue have never touched a cpu cooler. They don't actually get hot, that's the entire point of the fan on it.

Gonna pop a wraith on that

Should have done an RGB fan haha

You know the fan modulates instead of running full bore you will end up frying something on the board guarantee I would not recommend this lmfao

3:15 Big oof momment

Use a Volt meter. Don’t use a power supply.

Hot glue? Seriously?

DO NOT HOOK YOUR FAN UP LIKE THIS YOUR CONSOLE WONT BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE RPM WHEN YOU START A GAME IT WILL RUN HALF SPEED CONSTANTLY AND REACH TEMPS OF +130°F Now that i have your attention (sorry for the caps its just this it clearly important and no one is hearing me yet) i did this exact plug setup with the same fan and i have a thermometer installed in my window and yes it read upwards of 130°F which is 15°F more than a new console. with the fan powered by a solid 12v line you get 108°F max. i have Arctic silver 5 paste which i suggest you all invest in and apply, heres how- some people think you cover the entire cpu chip in a thin layer of paste but this is highly incorrect, you simply put a rice shaped dab in the center (after cleaning the old paste from both the heatsink and cpu obviuosly) just enough so that when you tighten the sink back on it spreads evenly across the chip, with no air bubbles or imperfections, which will decrease the heat transfer if they occur. this is not some random trying to trick people or something, i am a legitimetly concerned human being who it trying to save some consoles.

GET ZIPTIES

My xbox died because it got Gluecosis, I'm filing a law suit.

Rip my Xbox one

Hot glue on a HEAT sink 🙄 quit modding lol
