Hardware Got a slim 360 and I'm considering rgh, however...

[OrfeasDourvas]

My main gripe would be that I don't want it to sound like an airplane.
It's so quiet now that I can't even hear it and I'd love it if it would stay that way, even with rgh.
Should I rgh? My console is the 4gb slim one and I got an official Xbox 500gb one to be able to play the classics.
Do you find it easy to install via FTP to internal? Easy enough to find games, DLC and updates?
Also, don't care about online at all.

Just put the fans to 65% orso.
Look at it like this, it'll increase the lifespan of the console.

4GB Slims can be RGH'd, they're a bit more expensive tho.

FTP is superior.
Easy to use and fast.

DLC and updates are best done with 360 content manager.

Thanks for the quick reply!
How much noise would 65% be?
I had a phat 10 years ago and I can't play on it anymore due to the noise.
Also, forgot to say I'm on latest dashboard.
I just love how quiet the stock is right now.

Slightly above idle.
Barely noticable when playing a game.

Phat prolly needs new thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.

Dash doesn't matter with RGH.

Okay then, thanks a lot!

My suggested purchase list for you:

1. Team Xecuter 4GB R/W kit
2. Ace V3 modchip
3. Name brand SD card reader
4. Team Xecuter postfix adapter(not always required, you’ll have to see if you have POST out by the xcgpu)

You can also use a TX CR4 modchip instead, which is fantastic for Corona boards, but it’s more expensive.

You can also change target temps in dashlaunch rather than flat out static fan speeds, but if the system needs the extra cooling to hit those temps it’ll go jet mode lol.

I agree with brickmii.
It's pretty much the best setup you can have.

If you can't solder, take it to a modshop
