Chosen Solution
I want to replace the internal psu on the xbox one x with an atx psu that you’d use on a PC. I can see by the teardown video that the internal psu connects to the motherboard via some kind of proprietary connection, would it be possible to somehow connect the required wires from an atx psu to that motherboard power connection point? Perhaps you could dismantle the xbox psu and use the wires from inside it (connecting to the proprietary part) to solder the atx wires to. I know if you could somehow work past the proprietary connection point, an atx psu would definitely be able to power an xbox considering it’s been done to previous generations without any problems. Thanks for considering :)
According to the iFixit teardown video of the xbox one X, the internal power supply output is 12v @ 20.42a. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygXgJSLu… As long as your computer power supply can output 20a on the 12v rail, yes it should work. Keep in mind you will have to tie the pwr_on to ground in a 24v desktop power supply to get the power supply to turn on immediately. It is up to you if you want a separate power on switch for that power supply. Make sure to get the orientation of the 12v output right on the xbox motherboard. Plug in the +12v into where the +12v rail is on the xbox motherboard, and the ground to ground. Did your original xbox one x power supply die? If so, microsoft should cover it. This is not an old device whatsoever. If you are just upgrading the power supply for efficiency sake, the one microsoft implemented is probably designed well enough. Good luck.
Run xbox one x on ATX power supply . You should have an ATX power supply 500W , + 12V , 30A . 1- Cut all yellow ribbon and twin it 2- cut all black ribbon and twin it 3 - in the xbox one x remove psu power 4- on board you have 2 exit power +12v. And GND 5- welding yellow ribbon on +12 v 6- welding black ribbon on GND 7- in ATX power supply welding green ribbon with any black ribbon to lunch power supply 8- lunch xbox one x and you have done Do that on you responsibility
have you succeeded doing it? im just curious
You could do something like this, I want to do the exact same thing you want to do and this is an easy method if it works, which it technically should. 24-Pin PSU(Female) to XBox 360 Plug(Male): http://www.talismoon.com/cgi-bin/version… XBox 360 Plug(Female) to XBox One Plug(Male): https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Supply-Con… Wouldn’t have to cut or solder any wires with it like this and leaves capable of plugging in pumps and fans as well as LED Strips, etc.
