Incredible loud fan and poor performance gave me no option but to open this XBOX 360 E and give it some fresh air. No more noise and working like new. #XBOX #XBOX360 #HowToClean
Got my 360E jesterday as a Gift of a Friend of mine....opened it today and it was Clean like the one in the Video.....i was astonished 😊 No cleaning was needed.....only a new harddrive case and SSD harddrive and i need to buy a Controller 😂
Cheers pal just got this 360E for the collection and just finished opening it and replacing the thermal paste and closed it up. This helped a lot thanks.
Former 360E owner here. I dont know what kind of psychopath thought it was a good idea to make a 360 ON THE XBOX ONE RELEASE but its still a very good console, had so much memories with it. For anyone wondering, I gave it to my cousin after his 360 S broke.
Just relaying something that helped me with the x-clamp, there are automobile trim removal tools that has one particular tool that works perfectly for the clamp, you will recognize it if you've seen the actual x-clamp tool, basically identical.
Thanks for the guide. Wasn't too dirty, but thermal paste was definitely old, and the fan was ramping up a lot. Much quieter now. The only part i messed up is i cross threaded a fan screw because my screwdriver was too bulky. It is tight and holds the fan in place but a problem for future me if the fan goes bad. 😂
Change the rubber that opens and closes the tray. Or if it looks good, boil the rubber in some hot water for about 10 minutes and it will shrink a little. The stretching over the years is what is causing it to not open and close properly
That’s most probably an RROD issue, Red Ring of Death. This is usually repaired by reballing the CPU but cannot be done at home without professional tools
I'm thinking of using this video as a guide to clean up mine but I'm very nervous, I never opened a console in my life! Any usual beginner mistakes I should remind myself over before trying it?
Looks like the 360 e is a little tricker to open I just got 2 Minto white 360s I took apart and replaced the thermal paste in them run like brand new I have a 360 e at some point I'm gonna dig into and do the same thing
There are some revisions regarding CPU, newer versions have smaller CPU, in terms of opening and cleaning they’re basically the same. In terms of performance the newer, the better
You missed something when you assembled it... try to reassemble it correctly by following the video. The cleaning process can not damage the console unless it's assembled incorrectly
My X360 was not loud but bit old so decided to sent it for service (thermal paste and cleaning). Console service guy put new thermal paste and gave it a clean but when it arrived back I hear very annoying loud noise when console is on. Seems like a fan problem but unsure if that's not wrongly done thermal paste or something like this? Here's a short vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A3-fnqgSbF8.html All help would be much appreciated.
Thermal Paste is measured in watts per meter-Kelvin, that specifies the rate of the heat transfer. W/mK The more W/mK the thermal paste has, the better conductivity and heat transfer, the better results. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut has 12.5 W/mK while Arctic MX-5 has 6 W/mK. So at least in theory, Grizzly Kryonaut should be a lot better. There is thermal paste with only 2.5 W/mK out there. In your case I wouldn't be worried at this point, because out of service there shouldn't be any big difference between a poor thermal paste and a great thermal paste. The difference should be seen during the time. It's quite hard to tell what cause the noise, maybe there's dust in the cooler fan, maybe if it was not cleaned carefully, is not centered anymore.
Do you have any recommendations for the thermal paste also how coated should the cpu be? Like can any thermal paste be used or is there a specific one that’s best or needed?
Ive emptied and cleaned the entirety of my xbox and it still wont turn on ita cabke is just orange no flash, you you have any idea in whe i could do? Ive umplugged and replugged and tried to turn it on over and over again. I put everything vack in aswell
As far as I understand, your XBox din’t turn on. Cleaning has nothing to do with hardware failure, the cleaning is supposed to make it work better as long as the console is fully working. Did your XBox turn on before the cleaning?
@@YesterdaysTech hi yesterday tech i have a xbox 360e but when i play the games specially the open world games i see some lagging and some bugs in the game should i clean my console? As i know i didn't clean my console for a long time so I don't know if the problem can be solved whit cleaning it
Cleaning can help because without it, hardware components can be in thermal throttling, so the Xbox doesn't run at its full capacity, then you may experience stuttering
having an issue with my xbox 360 E where the console turns on and then almost immedietly shuts off but with no flashing indicators on the power supply, sometimes the power supply light goes off and you can hear the sound of a fan start spinning
All of my Xbox games all crashes, For no reason; I've wiped them off with soft cloth, restarted the xbox itself, but I still get the "unreadable disk" error. So, I came here as a last resort; but if it isn't the console can someone give my a suggestion what could it be?
