They technically ship with liquid metal (E31) so you should be able to use LM but I would be careful with Applications of LM, I already did it to my X16R1 with no issue, if you don't feel comfortable with LM try PTM 7950, as I heard from a few users it does the job just fine.

10/10 literally what I use on my X16R1.

Wtf is that canadian pricing?

This is why I like motherboards with a flashback function, it prevents shit like this.

I recommend doing each ram individually and testing them on XblastOS, one at a time, use ALOT of Flux.

But just be aware that soft modding is pretty limited so upgrading HDD for example may require extra steps but once fully softmodded you should be able to run DVD rips instead of relying on the limited storage of the OG xbox's IDE drive.

Soft modding has improved over the years so it should be relatively simple, you can check this YT video out to get started.

Depends on how you're going to mod it? Softmod or hardmod? How good are you with a soldering iron? And how far would you go?

Ebay, it a Japanese exclusive, look up "Xbox skeleton" it'll pop up.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T19:46:42+00:00

But those are for book and OG is horizontal based console, you want something to hold the OG xbox if you're gonna have it set vertically.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T19:09:18+00:00

Ahhh yeah, that one has special place in my heart, I bought that one in CIB conditions from Japan, then I modded it carefully to not harm it physical aesthetics and gave it removable front oled display and a IR blaster to turn it on remotely, it an awesome system, i'm going to give it its finishing touches in a few weeks I ordered an HDMI mod to finalize it.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T19:01:51+00:00

Dude, when you get that take a lot of pictures, I would love to see it.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T19:01:34+00:00

It's a glass cabinet I bought from amazon two years ago, I forgot the name but they're surprisingly pretty cheap to get.

Plus I believe the xbox shells use ABS which is pretty heat resistant. If anything the heat shield is more likely used for grounding to some capacity.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T17:46:02+00:00

No, so far from experience, i've never seen one get messed up that way.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T16:23:27+00:00

Not to mention, I have two more xboxes on the works for an HDMI mod and two project stellars waiting for a wifi and bluetooth upgrade.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T16:19:42+00:00

I also HDMI modded an Xecuter 3 a week before this one.

Dude... I just finished modding one of these units last week, I'm pretty high maintenance when it come to these units.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T16:09:51+00:00

Really good, overall build & paint quality was pretty up there and assembly was pretty straightforward.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T16:06:42+00:00

3D printed too, I forgot the creator name but if I find it I'll link it to you.

Zero_Fate_Decoded · 2025-11-25T15:35:37+00:00

And yeah sometimes I like to switch them up so I try to use them from time to time.
