Nexus 70Mm Real Silent Case Review

Looks like a good fan, so far (15 minutes) it's really very quiet. But I would never buy it again, at least not until Nexus supplies installation screws. As mentioned, this fan is about 1" thick, so there's a good chance your original screws aren't long enough. No problem, I thought, I'll just buy longer screws. An extra drive to the Home Depot but I'm lucky it's close by and I go there often anyway. Ha! Good luck finding #4 x 1.25" metal screws! The longest is 1" and it won't fit. So, taking…

The only problem with the installation was that the motherboard had a two pin connector (Molex) while this fan had a three hole socket. After researching this, I found that this really isn't a problem. Just make sure you mount it so the red and black polarity wires are in the same place as the original, and then you can safely ignore the missing pin for the yellow connection.

Be careful when installing, the bottom clips in the console are fragile and may break. I used mine perfectly, but it took a little patience. There weren't any…

I bought this case fan for my original Xbox and I have to say it is much quieter than most stock fans. Removing the original fan is very difficult and you can break the tab if this is your first time and you are not very careful. I broke my first one, some epoxy and I was able to fix it. I tested it with standard fans from different brands and at full speed this fan is much quieter.
