Now that's crazy! Instead of plopping the heatsink on top you can use a socked 370 Heatsink too, since they clip on to the socket. Great work as always
I wouldn't recommend that - first he would need to secure socket as right now whole heatsink would be hanging on pinpads and that is really bad as they can easily be ripped out of the motherboard, but yeah with some aditional bracket to secure this mode in place then it should be possible
my man, you just built a custom pc at this point
or even, just build an actual PC, and emulate XBOX games on it :)
...(joking of course, don't attack me modders!)
It was already a custom PC. OG Xbox is the closest we had so far to a full-blown PC stuffed inside a console
was about to say the same thing, could load up need for speed porsche unleashed on that mf at this point. just gotta find out how to install windows 2000...
@@tezcanaslan2877Really? Considering that the last two console generations from Sony and Microsoft have been x86 AMD SoCs, albeit with unified bespoke memory, I wouldn't be too off to call anything not made by Nintendo since 2013 a PC. There are even videos where there's cut-down Xbox One SoCs on actual ATX motherboards.
But the OG Xbox really stands out in that era for being a glorified off the shelf PC in a world of custom silicon.
@@EbonySaints The difference is that unlike those, OG Xbox retains it’s upgradeability to some extent (RAM can also be upgraded in addition to CPU)
This was amazing the fact that you can put socketable cpu's in it now makes the OG xbox 10x better amazing work bro
Here we are eating my dinner while binge watching you mod a console
why are we eating your dinner
Awesome that someone actually did the socket 370 mod instead of directly soldering the CPU to the board. Tbh this is a much better mod than the latter because these CPUs aren't being made anymore, and I don't really like when parts that aren't in production anymore get irreversible modifications. ESPECIALLY the 1.4 GHz CPUs.
With these mods Windows 98 and Windows XP is a must. There should be a way to run those operating systems. A custom bios would be nice too to take full advantage of these mods with Xbox's UI.
You can't do it without drivers, and 256 isn't a good amount for XP. Maybe you can run DOS box, or Linux, but not Windows. Also, even Linux has moved past being usable with low RAM. The Xbox is a console, not a PC, and must be treated as such. If you want a Pentium 3 Windows PC, simply buy a real Pentium 3 PC. Or Pentium 4. The best retro system is ultimately the first gen oldest 1.4ghz Pentium 4 with single channel SDRAM, and pair it with the Nvidia FX 5200 MX just like everyone did in the old days, and pretend your absolute potato dumpster fire is actually usable, everyone knows brand name stickers add horsepower to 4 cylinder beaters with cherry bomb exhaust. Totally better than any Athlon and Radeon 9800. PS, if you think I'm kidding, this behavior has persisted into melting Intel CPUs and 8gb VRAM Nvidia cards, and those people still think it was a good decision, plus are now the majority. Anyway, don't bother installing windows, because even if it worked, it wouldn't be a good experience. My 2c.
@@JohnDoe-ip3oq It's not a point of will it be good to use it is a point of can you? no one has enough patience to do all of that to get it to work to actually think about using it, they do it because it is a silly What If?.
@@JohnDoe-ip3oq that was not 2c that was like 10 dollars 😛
Awesome, you did it, so cool to see that its working so perfect. Nice that you showed my comment 😅 For myself i created an Adapter for the CPU cooler to not install it on the Socket 370, to avoid to much force to the pins of the socket of the interposer when you remove or install the cooler. For an Adapter you can use the original holes on the Mainboard of the Xbox :)
Excellent video, very well done. Thanks for the shoutout for Shawn Shakir. Super good guy and one hell of a talented tech!
East coast booter
this is insane, good work!
Thanks a lot!
GD tech por aqui? Foda.
Now that xbox is just a mini pc from the 2000's
Editing here, 3.000th subscriber! It's impressive how underrated this channel is
Remember me :)
Thanks so much for subbing! And thank you for the 3000th sub!
I still can't believe this channel has only 2k subscribers, keep doing this
Extremely interested in buying a 1.4Ghz and 256MB Xbox upgrade from you. Hope your experience keeps going well, that socket solution looks wicked. Crazy to see that through hole socket being surface soldered too.
Ill be working on something like this very soon! Thanks for watching.
These consoles are troopers! I have a crystal one, combined with a crt and a huge hard drive, it's an amazing box! It can do music, it can do movies, it can do games, it even can do some tv tricks, which is insane for such an old piece of tech, may these consoles live forever! Can you do the mod and supply a cpu if payed for? And try the hdmi mod, seems to be pretty challenging ;)
Yea we can do that, Was going to attempt the HDMI mod when i got the chance!
@@ConsoleKingRepair Awesome! I am very interested in the cpu upgrade! I have 2 boards, a 1.4 and a 1.6; could you take off the ram from the 1.6 and put it on the 1.4? I want the ultimate upgraded xbox :p
This is amazing. Really love the content for console modding! You and Macho Nacho are my inspiration for modding consoles.
Can't wait to see your prices on upgrading OG Xbox's with 1.4GHz CPU's!
Will likely be sending my Project Stellar + HDMI+ modded OG Xbox in just for this when it's available!
It's also 128MB modded already. Just needs the 1.4GHz CPU on it.
I'm glad you installed a socket this time around. I was concerned in your last video when you just hard soldered that CPU onto the interposer. I half expected it to be dead when you booted it up. Good video man, you deserve more subs
My brother, you've hit me in the algorithm. What you are doing is amazing and YT is noticing you and pushing you. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much man!
Here before your channel blows up. 🤩😁
King bro! Love the content. Complicated jobs made completely simple.
Appreciate it man!
now we can replicate the legendary version of the xbox friendtech dreamx 1480... no! better!! add this modification along with the recent 256mb ram modification!! It's a dream come true... thanks so much for featuring this, modders!!
I got plenty of ram chips to do the 256MB ram mod, very exciting!
Now, this is the follow-up video I needed 🙌
Man, your content is good and your english is clear, i can understand very well. I will subscribe.
I’m very interested in getting one Xboxes upgraded with a cpu and ram upgrade 👀 great work!
Just HMU!
Good to know about this mod, looking into just putting the money down to get a bga rework machine already so I can start offering this service also. Appreciate the video
My old Xbox is still in my closet. Last time I had it out was AGES ago. Did a modchip on it way back when. Not sure what revision it is... but it would be interesting to see it with max RAM and a faster CPU....
with all the mods we have seen for the xbox over there years a 2.0 motherboard replacement could be the ulitmate mod with HDMI, Socket for the CPU, memory sockets, build in SATA, wifi, gigabit networking, modern ssf psu support, bluetooth controllers, built in bios mod
Cant wait to see all the mods in the future! This thing just gets more and more crazy!
bros just asking for a PC
This is just amazing! Great work!!
RAM mod, CPU mods... I am impressed by what is possible with this console. I wonder what's stopping us from porting any PC BIOS to the Xbox, then installing other OS like Windows and turning it into a actual PC... As Wikipedia says "Xbox was built around standard personal computer components"
Try to add a PCI connection to allow expansion cards like wifi. (Which would also require drivers but since its a win 2k based system it may be possible to inject drivers depending on the card)
This would be perfect for what I have in mind: a 1.4 ghz original Xbox, stuffed inside a typical black PC case next to an X86 computer running Windows 98 SE. the 100 to 240 volts AC would have to be converted to 12 volts DC then stepped down to 5 volts DC to be powered by a USB battery bank and charged using USB type C.
too high power. but u can probably power xbox from 12v dc with some stepdown converters for 3.3 and 5v rail
This channel is underrated
Man that’s better than a computer I have
this is wild! faster than my first p4 desktop lol
Awesome job!
Now do the 256MB Ram upgrade and let us see your work amaze us with dome Half Life 2 and Halo 2 gameplay. 😉
next video: Installing a 3060 mobile chip in an og xbox
Absolutely sick I love it
Installing a socket is a game changer because you can buy cheaper 370 tualatin processors to begin like Celerons tualatins (way cheaper and almost same performance) that had same performance as P3 because they had not restrited cache, or like the 1.26ghz pentium3 that is cheaper than the 1.4ghz and then someday change to 1.4-1.5
Got my 1.3ghz 370 tualatin Celeron for 30 bucks... when the 1.48ghz costs 200$... but im stuck with the interposer install, can you reball mine? 😅
Awesome modification!
I just recently saw that 256 RAM mod from Modsville on Macho Nacho and mentioned how I want to see it implemented on a CPU modded system. I want my CPU modded system to get that RAM mod. Or have one of my systems just get this socket mod and the ram.
I'd love to see someone play HL2 with a ram mod on the og xbox.
I would like to get an original Xbox, mod it with a stellar mod to a plus HD mod, add 256 megabytes of RAM instead of the standard 64, and I would like this mod as well, and that would become my go to half-life machine, and potentially other emulation machine if the need be.
Ill be making something like this very soon.
This and the 256mb ram mod would be a match made in heaven
you want a challenging mod? New 3DS capture card. Supposedly one of the most difficult while also being one of the most practical mods.
Good work ❤
We have a CPU upgrade, RAM upgrade, can that GPU be overclocked as well? (I assume just dropping in another GPU isn't a possibility because of a lack of drivers).
Yea GPU is still going to be an issue, oh well!
BGA would be interesting but understandably more complicated
Nice. I have all the parts to do this but haven't gotten around to it haha.
You really should, Its a very rewarding mod!
I see! One day.... too busy with my 360 projects haha.
The og Xbox is officially more powerful than my main laptop/pc..

I just saw another video yesterday of the 256MB upgrade.
I ordered a lot of ram in preparation for it, cant wait to install it!
very nicely done
I feel like the stress of messing with CPUs and adding the heatsink over time might break the solder joints on the long ass legs that connect to the interposer. Something about how the socket is sitting so high on those legs bothers me. I'm sure it works great, but I wonder for how long. It would be a serious pain in the ass to clip them all short and make sure they are perfectly level to make a solid connection, though.
That is nuts!
Combine this with that new ram upgrade to 256mb its gonna be pretty awesome
Ope you mentioned it at the end lol
yup
Very promising!
Nice!
Im asking myself if it would be possible to swap the orginal nv2a gpu for the more powerfull nv25. Thez are from the sam gpu series and have the same architecture.
Image this CPU plus 256MB ram upgrade! I wonder how much more performance with the right Bios can be found
That’s the goal!
so it IS possible
very impressive!!!!
We just need to figure out how to make the Xbox os run on normal pc hardware
will he ever get his new stencil?!
I wonder if the day will come when it will be possible to place a xbox on a PCI-E, insert it into a PC motherboard and forget about emulation, play xbox and use the power of today's PC
that will always be impossible
@@Nighterlev there's a dude on CZcams GmanModz he creates portable ones from real consoles so maybe nothing is impossible?
the chinese may do it.... you only eed the gpu and northbrige chips for that
this is kinda possible with video grabbing cards
@@Avroveks the consoles he does aren't complex at all. Nintendo 64 is not a complex console.
I have 3 original Xbox I would like to get one of them done
@@andrewscott4405 message me through my email
Well done, excellent work. Where can I buy PGA370 socket?
@@adampiotrowski7335 eBay
@@ConsoleKingRepair thanks for the answer, I was looking for and found only the SLOT 1 adapter for PGA370 or motherboards.
@@ConsoleKingRepair ok I found it now. I don't know why I haven't seen this before. Thanks
I’d like this and the ram upgrade to my og Xbox bro!
HMU
@@ConsoleKingRepair where lol
@@karmasmessenger3815 I have my email on my website and CZcams.
Amazing thing o.O
just question, that CPU you used is Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz from Tualatin P6 familly right?
What would be the best CPU to put into that modded socket? "Intel Celeron 1.5 GHz" or "Intel Pentium III 1.4 GHz"
just curious overall :)
P3-s is the best swap posible with 512 kb of cache
does this provide any practical benefit to original game playback or is it primarily for homebrew?
OG xbox games run much better.
i wonder if those bga ram chips on flat flex would work with this model making it able to have double the ram after all
id like to have my og xbox serviced to handle those cpus i would pay $350 top for the custom work
I believe this is fair. This would be for socket only of course.
there is more things i'm curious about Upgrading the ram to 128mbs 300mhz from the 64mb 200mhz, with that 1.6ghz CPU, I'm also curious if there exists any possible GPU upgrade Kinda like the NV28/ geforce4 Ti4600 (Ti4800) curious if it would fit and work, or if the NV2A is the only thing that fuctions (heard somewhere it has a built in north bridge and the NV28 doesn't) and it would probably need a revised bios.....which i don't think is happening if it would even work
Amazing!! What is the limits for OG Xbox?
Imagine putting a Socket 478 or Socket M onto the thing I wonder how absurd this thing can go.
impossible. socket 478 and socket m cpus use other (newer) chipsets
This isn't regarding the video; I'm from the UK and I sense that your accent is Minnesota? Am I right?
Awesome video!
Can you tell me where you got the socket from?
Or the manufacturer and partno.?
Just NOS 370 sockets off eBay
coooool!!!
What is the performance gains?
If using a socket 370 cooler, can the interposer be reinforced with epoxy so BGA pads aren't ripped off?
not an xbox, but would you be willing to give a shot at gpu swapping a wii? ive got one that could be worth the attempt if the damage isnt too much
Love it, would be be cool if someone could get a Pentium m working in an OG, very similar to a Pentium 3 as well as really low tdp and 2ghz would be insane
We need a GPU upgrade because this CPU mod plus 256mb ram upgrade.. it's only a matter of time gpu bottoms out.
Someone needs to tell AMD to build a PGA370 socket Ryzen CPU
Dude I'd be SO down to commission you for one of these
We'll be making a listing soon! thanks for your interest!
with a socket, would you please run other brand of cpus in it, theres several made for the socket 370 and it was not just intel
HOLY jesus 256 mb ram? im curious how much performance gains it will get
Such a loaded question
With the stock CPU or new 1.4 socketed CPU?
With 64/128 or 256mb ram?
What bios?
256MB RAM won't really give any performance gains, it'll primarily help out emulators. Game wise not so much as most games on the OG Xbox don't even max out the 128MB mod. Some do, but most don't.
The 1.4GHz CPU MOD will give pretty big performance boost in quite a lot of games.
give the xobox a server grade cooling fan in the rear
didn't even thought this was possible to add a cpu socket to the OG Xbox, now im curious if their is a way to do add DDR ram socket as well so one can add more ram above he 129mb ram (at least the ones use for laptops since their DDR are smaller in size
had someone already done vice versa, CPU from Xbox running on a regular PC motherboard?
You should show some half life 2 gameplay
One thing I have always wondered and couldn't find much info about, is what did Intel change about the 733mhz PIII cpu in the OG Xbox and what actually made it different from a stock PIII of similar speed? All I know it is a slight modified PIII, what I would like to know is what did they change about the architecture.
nothing, they used regular piii in a laptop socket
nothing, is a piii in laptop factor
do you or someone you know do send-ins? I ordered my own PGA7 370 sockets a while back with the intention to do the same thing. Looks like im too slow HAHA!. You have the better equipment though so Im wondering if I can send in my board, solder balls, ball stencil, interposer, most to all of the diodes the interposer needs, the CPU, and some PGA sockets.
@@fluffypinkpandas I’m about to do send ins. I can tell you when I do.
new subscriber here, could you possibly try installing windows xp on the og xbox?
I was wondering if using hot air would melt the plastic socket. I wouha e thought the plastic have a lower melting point than solder.
Can you also use one of the 370 to 423 adapters and put a pentium 4 inside?
Futureproofing… a console from 2001?
are you ever gonna do an xbox 360 S cpu upgrade or a gpu upgrade for the OG xbox
as far as I know after changing the cpu you should change the value of the smd resistors to change the voltage to cpu , you did it right?
I will be doing this, Still need to work on customer ps3s.
I wonder how half life 2 performs with the new CPU.
I need a few of those , hit me up , we might be able to work some stuff out
Just contact me at my email address and we can discuss options. Thanks!
I wonder how this mod would affect half life performance
@mattkc we need a video for this mod
Crazy mod you ask.. try to change the gpu :P
any plans to offer international shipping?
