I keep my 360 in a cabinet with a non open back...I know this is a bad place to keep it, but I have no other choice. Could this have something to do with it, because it doesn't have much air circulation? (I keep the cabinet open when I play.)

Fans really loud
03/20/10 3:01 am | #1
My xbox's fans are extremely loud. I know it's not the disc drive, because every game I play is installed to the hard drive. Does anyone know a way to quiet down the xbox?

Do you have an arcade version xbox? If so, that's your problem. They're loud.
Get an elite. They purr like a kitten.
If you don't have an arcade, I dunno what to tell you.

False, I have An Arcade Almost no Noise whatsoever....hmmm sometimes my fan runs fast when I load a Game and DLC off my hard drive (Like Fallout3 and All 5 DLC at the same time)

i'm pretty sure it's because you're not giving it any room to breathe behind the console. try to find a way to set it so that the back of the console is open. your console may be overheating and trying its best to breathe, which explains the loud fan.

Mine's loud as fuck and it's on top of an entertainment center... It's an arcade model also.

I've noticed that mine sounds louder, but that could be because it's not the one that I originally bought, since that one RRoD'ed on me and I got a different one back from the service center; so it's possible that the one that was sent back to me has an extra fan in it.

I found a way to maybe, quiet it down. I found a random stool in my house, and put the xbox on that (instead of inside the cabinet with no air.) It's been quieting down a little bit...Hopefully it will get a lot quieter.
