you dont need to mod it.
Make sure it has plenty of ventilation around it, and it should be fine.

Welcome to X3F. Well ventilation does not mean anything. The stock fans on the 360 are terrible. There are many things to do for better cooling. Replace the stock fans with high speed fans. Add a 40mm fan to the cpu heat sink. If having the 360 in a well ventilated area was the only problem then there wouldnt be over 1 million dead consoles out there.

I agree except for the high speed fans. The XCM fans are exactly the same as the stock fans they just don't have a steady 12v to it. A few soldering points can change that. I myself will be adding 60mm fans aswell.

They are not exactly the same. The bearings are different and running both at stock speeds the temps are not the same. Thats like saying all 80mm fans are all the same. Some are good and some suck. M$ fans suck.

Well put. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of M$ stuff, but I will test for myself if you don't mind.

OK. Here are two techniques to cool your system without upping fan noise.

Xbox 360 Thermal Upgrade/cooling Tutorial - Scenyx Entertainment Community

Xbox 360 – Cooling Modification

Also, I would reccomend the Talismoon Whisper fans. You could get the high speed XCM fans, but they are a lot louder seeing as they run at 12v constantly, they cool your system better though...but 12v fans are like a helicopter
