Xbox 60mm Noctua Fan Mount Adapter (for Original Xbox)

This is a 60mm Noctua fan mount adapter for the Original Xbox.

It was created to replicate the look and feel of the original Xbox fan (there are a few different fan models, but this one is based off of the Nidec fan). Improved airflow was another goal but this has not been measured.

To assemble, first put the fan cable through the left side hole (the hole above the locking fin). Then try to wiggle in the fan. It should slide in with relative ease. Attach screws that came with your Noctua fan. The screws are optional as it will stay in place without them both by friction and inside the case it will be sandwiched against the motherboard.

NOTE: Please use a 12v fan, at stock fan speed (20%) the Xbox will output 6v to the fan, however, at 100% fan speed, a full 12v will be provided.

Changelog

V1.1

• Lower the locking fins by 2mm (was incorrectly measured) and make them slightly wider for increased strength
• Reinforce fan screw holes
• Grow Noctua fan slot by 0.2mm to improve tolerances
• Remove 0.2mm from front and back of the bottom feet to improve tolerances, especially when supports leave extra material
• A few chamfers here and there.

V0

• First version based of measurements from original Nidec fan
• No tolerances, you probably don't want this version
