Hi Like many people my Xbox has an overheating problem (although I did buy it from a car boot sale for £1) It had the E74 Error multiple times every time I fixed it a couple of days later it would go again so I went on the internet looking at mods I could do.
I took a 92mm cpu fan from a computer heatsink that runs at 3500rpm and fitted it to the Xbox Cpu Heatsink.
I then did the mod that channels air through the GPU heatsink more efficiently and split the fans one for each heatsink.
Next I wired the fans to a 12v source but decided these were too loud to be on all th time so I put a switch in so now the fans can be swapped between 12v and 5v so i can have them quiet or loud.
This mod cost me £8 for all the materials and it was well worth it, as I've not had RROD for 2 months. Not bad for a console that cost me £1
Here are some pictures of it and soon I'll mod the case to fit the fan later but I have'nt the time currently. If anybody has any questions, improvements or even information or pictures of their own mods I'd be interested to see them.
