Does anyone else (who owns an XBOX 360) have this problem?

The console itself is fine but the fan makes a grinding sound. I'm going to have to replace it or something inside the power supply will probably blow up.

could be malfunctioning hardware or it might just be really dusty

nah it seems to be a pretty common problem, Microsoft must have used really cheap fans and that's why they're starting to fail after 6 years of use

I will probably add an external fan which will cool the PSU better than it did when it was brand new.

okay seriously i bought it in 2010 but i haven't really used it since 2012

btw guys i modded the fan after a lot of dremel work and oh my god it works like a charm

it's never been this quiet and cool (no pun intended)

before the mod, the PSU would literally get hot enough that if i touched it, it would give me a first degree burn.

btw here's the image of the final result

yes, i know it's missing one screw, but i couldn't find it and the fan is secure enough anyways

it essentially takes all of the hot air and blows it out

but yeah the original cooling design for this power supply is just complete garbage
it uses some tiny cheapo fan that stops working if dust gets in it
