Xbox 360 Power Usage
Moderator:Moderators
Hey, does anyone know the power input for a Xbox 360. I currently dont know what motherboard it has, but I want to change it's power brick to a PSU and I dont really want to buy a PSU that is just overkill on power, but I dont know how much it uses.

Re: Xbox 360 Power Usage
im working on converting my 360 to a psu too, look on the power brick...
203 watts no hdmi=Xenon
203 watts with hdmi=Zephyr
175 watts with hdmi=Falcon
150 watts with hdmi=Jasper
and for a power supply something with a sustained minimum power of 12v DC current at 16.5 amps, and 5v DC at 1 Amp.
the different boards have some difference in amps but it shouldn't matter.

I currently dont have a power brick or cords for my xbox because i bough a cheap one with no cords or hard drive knowing that i was gonna mod it. Could you also tell me the what voltages i would need, or just 12Volts output

Yes, that supplies 18A on the 12v line and 25 on the 5 volt line so you're good.Al9bob wrote:Alright, but could i use this PSU?

Re: Xbox 360 Power Usage
no problem, and im doing the opposite, i converted to the power supply, and now im making my case, just got my 1/4 inch lexan tonight. im considering water cooling it but thats another $100.00 so ill probably just stay with a lot of fans.
Re: Xbox 360 Power Usage
Im gonna Attach Fans to the heatsinks to keep them cool and make a lot of ventilation with a lot of fans
