Tut: How to do fan mod software method! (Works on Non-JTAG Units)

[Zoneout]

Tutorial how to change fan settings NAND-based with no need to use the 12v fan mod.

Programs needed:
- NandPro 2.0d
- 360FlashTool 0.95 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BNY40E49

Tools needed:
- Nand Dumper (USB / LPT)
- Soldering Iron

Steps:
1. Dump your NAND using NandPro (orig.bin)
2. Open your NAND Dump using 360FlashTool (There is no need for CPU Key, so ignore that)
3. Navigate from Tools > Edit Config
4. Check CPU and GPU Fan Speed Checkboxes and set your desired fan speed¹. (I use 80% for Xenons and Zephyrs, 70% for Falcons) 100% = 12v
5. Save config to orig.bin and flash back to NAND
6. Done!

¹. You can also set the threshold at what temperature you want the XBOX 360 to spin the fans at 100% (Auto Setting) In the "Thermal" box. I use 60C,60C,63C for Xenons as an example.

60C = CPU, 60C = GPU, 63C = EDRAM

An example of what you can do:

Hope this helps

Cheers!

i agreee!!!

Can someone please tell me if this mod is awsome, is it legit, is it live safe, and can you do this on a non jtag console? He also says you do not need the cpu key for this mod? Thanks for any awsome input on this lol

I coud've sworn you needed the CPU key. You're editing the config file inside of the nand. Not sure how it would be rebuilt once edited if you didn't have the key.

No, this works fine.

Do this after ever reflow / reball.

It does take a little bit longer but its a lot neater than other fan mods. Running the fan at 80% is bearable as well.
100% is a bit loud though.

Haven't had any issues on live (but who knows this could change any day)

It might work actually, if you select edit config from the tools drop down menu it will still allow you to edit the config file and save it as new nand image.

Question though will the saved file boot the console as normal or not? Someone with a spare console ought to try and let us know!

 

[jrjr6565]

I got four spare motherboards, three need more work than i have equipment for, but I will try it on the fourth board once I get it going because I dont plan on selling it to anybody knowing it wont last. Have to get a nand x first tho because i have never done anything with a nand before

you mean reasons for like - not following rules ? or by posting bullshit comments like the one you just made ?

Those kind of reasons ? :facepalm:

 

[Desire20]

[jrjr6565]

Alls the bs posts and still got no concrete answer to my question in this post. Too much time spent bickering. Thanks to those who tried to help!

12v fan mod is not that loud, If your gonna solder in a Nandx to do this, You might as well just solder a single wire under the board, Or solder a wire from the 12v point under the power supply plugin and tap it into the positive leads on the fan plugin wires, After awhile you get used to it can barely notice it unless your sitting there listening for it :rolleyes2:

Single wire 12v, http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?p=280832&highlight=12v+mosfet#post280832

Edit: Unless if you already have a jtagged box with the nand wires still in there, Then this might be feasible
If you do the underside method make sure to put at least 5 pieces of electrical tape on the point you soldered to because it'll ground to the chassis and cause the box not to boot

Sorry to bump this old thread!

If I mod the nand so the fans run at a different speed, if I then update the dashboard, lets say its not a jtagged or rgh console, will it return to the stock config after it?

thanks!!
