Talismoon "PSU Energyzer" Xbox 360 to ATX Power Supply Adapter Cable
Date undefinedPurchased this conversion kit because wanted to get rid of the annoying whining fan noise from the stock 175W power supply.
As previous reviews suggested, please make sure your computer power supply can support the power rating,
Here the power rating from the 175W power brick from XBOX
12V - 14.2A
5V - 1A
Please check the sticker on your computer power supply before you plug into your xbox! MAKE SURE the 12V rail can supply at least 14.2A!! (or at least 16.5A if you have an older XBOX uses 203W power brick). If your computer power supply cannot handle this, don't use it!
I am using a Corsair HX520 power supply to hook to my XBOX, as this power supply is almost silent. Been running in the setup for almost a week now and haven't yet to hit any problem (4+ hour of running per day).
In conclusions:
Pros:
- Works with the newer 175W "Falcon" XBOX, people can use this cable to swap to a regular computer supply for quieter operation or lower replacement cost.
- Installation is a breeze, just plug and play. (but do make sure your computer power supply can support enough current)
- Cable build quality is good and feels sturdy.
Cons:
- Might not be for everyone because getting a suitable power supply requires understanding of the power rating and might confuse people.
- Probably not happens to all: but the fan on my power supply started running once I plugged the conversion cable into the computer power supply (even though the XBOX is off). Does anyone have the same problem? I'll try to swap to other power supplies some other days when I get a chance.

Date undefinedI just got my 360 back from a RROD repair, and now it doesn't work at all with this cable. I'm using a modular 400W psu, and it was working before I sent the console out for repair. I assume that they just replaced the console with a newer version, and I'm having the same problems others mentioned here. If you're not sure if your xbox will work with this unit you should probably steer clear.

Date undefinedMake sure you have an adequate power supply to run your XBox360 with. I use an +12V 18A Power supply and it works great. I would recommend not running a power supply with any less than +12V 16A. Good luck guys.
