Ultra-Quiet Xbox 360 Premium

At last a quiet off-the-shelf Xbox. Now there is no reason not to get one!

PLEASE NOTE: This Xbox Premium is a returned review sample. It has been fully tested and all ancillary parts are supplied unopened. There are no obvious marks on the chassis, although the silicone feet are already fitted.

If you are looking for an Xbox 360 and are aware of the noise they generate and would like to do something about that from the outset then we have the whole range of Xbox consoles all pre-built into the excellent Lian Li XB-01B case.

Quiet Xbox 360® Premium

As well as installing the Xbox components in the Lian Li case we also supply the system with anti-vibration fan mounts and silicone feet to further aid in noise reduction. But that’s not all! The optical drive is also very noisy so to combat this Lian Li have placed acoustic foam in strategic places to help reduce noise and vibration. We also coat the optical drive with the fantastic AcoustiPack material which again helps reduce the noise of the optical drive even further.

Although these steps help, unfortunately the Xbox still makes some noise while reading DVDs or CDs. The best advice we can offer is that if you play the same game regularly then you can copy the game directly to your hard drive, thanks to the New Xbox Experience. Finally, do not leave the DVD or CD in the optical drive if it is not being used, for example if you are using the Xbox as a media extender - these steps will prevent any unnecessary noise.

We also remove the ducting which Lian Li supply with the case and their case fan. In their place we use a Scythe Kaze Jyu 120mm fan and a Slim Scythe 100mm fan. The reason we have done this is to improve cooling and also to reduce the noise during gaming. We noticed the Lian Li fan was a little too noisy for our liking and therefore we had to change it. This makes the Xbox quieter during gaming activities. We also added a second fan directly over the CPU/GPU area to further increase cooling without any increase in noise.
