Answer 1

I think all of your ideas to cool the xbox cpu is great and all, but I think your current plan is doomed for failure. There is not a lot of room to allow for any errors in size and I don't see how a PC cpu heatsink will adapt to the xbox form. I've never ventured into my xbox, but I've seen one taken apart and in pictures online. Its packed in there! I don't think you're going to find what you want from http://www.newegg.com/

Instead, do a little reading on what others have modded and see if a product is available from such a mod site that is more likely to work for you. One such enthusiast site is http://www.llamma.com/

UPDATE:
Wouldn't it be easier then to mount the low profile fan you are planning on using directly onto the existing heatsink? Unless you live in a place like Hawaii where the daily temperatures in house are above 85 degrees then I really don't know how much benefit you will get from a heatsink with more fins and a fan vice just adding a fan to your existing heatsink...

happy modding
