xbox one x cooling duct

thingiverse

I'm building a custom cooling system for my Xbox One X, specifically designed to secure it to the existing guard in the back of the console. This clip-on design uses the original Torx screw on the left side, while the right side clips onto the existing guard for added stability. To power this cooling system, I've opted for three generic 60mm fans and a 12V wall adapter sourced from Amazon. Wiring it up was relatively straightforward, although you may need to get creative with your setup depending on your specific situation. The fans themselves were purchased from Newegg at an attractive price point of around $3 per fan, along with free shipping. However, I'm not sure if this deal is still available as it was a closeout offer. Any three 60mm fans and a random 12V wall adapter will suffice for this project. To ensure easy plug-and-play functionality, I've designed the system to be removable at the back of the Xbox. If your setup requires additional components like switches or adapters, you can easily incorporate them into your design. I chose this approach because the available fan options on Amazon were limited to 40mm fans with low airflow capacity, which wouldn't provide sufficient cooling for my gaming needs. My game requires a high framerate and minimal lag, so I wanted to create a system that would keep my Xbox running cool and stable.
