So a few months ago I fixed my xbox in a very similar manner (I set up mine with it's own power supply to give the fan a lot more output) to fix my Red Ring of Death problem and a friend of mine wanted his fixed but wasn't willing to pay for the power supply and other stuff to make the fan work at it's best ability so for $50 I rigged the fan into the console's power supply, replaced the RAM heat sinks with stuff that actually works, bolted the heat sinks to the motherboard and casing and got rid of the shitty X-clamps, threw in some arctic silver to get the heat flowing from the CPU and GPU chips to the heat sinks a bit better, and plopped the new fan right over the main heat sinks which throws pretty much all the heat out of the system. With the fan connected right into the system's power supply, the fan comes on with the system and turns off when the system shuts down. Works fine but the fan doesn't pump the air like mine. Does it's job though and keeps everything cool enough that there should never be an over heating issue or cold solders ever again. After 3 hours of continuous use the heat sinks are warm to the touch (rather than cool like mine) but nonetheless you can directly touch the things and you wont get burned in any way. I'm happy with it and after putting it through it's paces I haven't found any issues with it. Yet another tinker fix by Hab Wolf ^_^
