Solved 360 always loud?

[Cymbal]

Alright, so I have a 120gb HDD and usually install the games I play frequently on it. However, my xbox is ALWAYS loud, regardless if the game is installed on the HDD or not. Is there a reason for this and if possible, a way to fix it?

Thanks.

What is loud? The disc drive or the fans? Be more specific.

He said he downloads the game to the hard dive, so it must be the fans.

Touche. That would make sense
OP: If you don't have the 12v fan mod. Sounds like your 360's thermal silver is not getting as good of a connection. I recommend re-applying and see how that works.

i bought an external fan for my xbox, and you need one because the "Internal fan" is turning SOOOOO fast by the sounds of it, dont play for too long or you may see the dreaded ring of death! *evil music in background* ROFL xD

Your xbox might be on its way to the all so common (Unfortunately) RRoD

Its probably a Xenon, mine is very loud too, and has never been opened up. You can do the 12volt fan mod, or install another 12volt fan (I recommend jmd almighty's tut, found here.)

My xbox has gotten the RRoD like 3 times so far (I've had to send it in to MS)

Thanks. I'll look into it.

@Everyone else; Thanks.

Do you keep in it a small area where it could get overheated? If so, try moving it to an open area and see if that makes a difference.

First off, you always want to have your Xbox in a very well ventilated area.

Another thing you want to do is make sure that the Xbox is on a flat surface where dust cannot collect and build up inside of the console. In order for you to notice a difference in the amount of noise produced by your console, I suggest that you by a talismoon whisper fan.

eBay is the cheapest place for the fans. Just search: Talismoon Whisper. I recommend the legacys, although the maxs work as well.
