Gamesir X2 Fan Mod (UPDATED)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Update: For some reason I encountered stability issue when using Gnd from the spring connection beside 3.3v spring. So I rewired it again using the Gnd pad next to 5v pad. And this is how I actually wired it in the very 1st version where I had a coiled wire sticking out on top instead of a sliding contact.
This mod adds fan noise.
Also I tested just running 1 fan thru otg adapter and battery drain is about 5% after an hour (screen was off).
For disassembly, I followed this • GameSir X2 Teardown
Then I just drilled with a dremel like tool and glued them into place. I used epoxy on the fans and switch as this is all I have. And tiny amount of super glue on the back of nickel strip.
And the basic goal here is to just connect the fans to the 5v and Gnd pads in that board.
If you want the parts see below, maybe you can find similar near you:

Other FYI/ideas
I tried to replace the 3.3v on the spring with the 5v, so I can move 5v to the other side without using any other wire or sliding contact. But I don't have a chip to drop the voltage. And only tried via voltage divider. I encountered problems this way, the right board drops connection when both fans ON, led does not work, and X2 itself drops connection after some time.
Are you some kind of god? Wow
I got my X2 ages ago, and Ive been waiting for the modding game to take off. Glad I found your vid, mate!
There is also this from another user ruclips.net/video/CTtTQXNOn_A/видео.html
nice clean mod are the fans pushing cool air in or pulling hot air out? also the dip switch is that a PCB switch 2.54mm? with this setup you can run both fans at the same time? I'm planning on doing this mod hope you can get back to me on my questions ..thanks
pushing air to back of phone...
Yes you can wire both fans to 1 switch. I just didn't have any 1 switch only so just wired them separately.
Be sure to test your small fans first against back of your phone. If you feel hot air is pushed and it satisfies you, then maybe the mod will be worth it.
@@niluss6 is that switch a PCB switch 2.54mm? also ill be using a Z Fold 3 phone
and thanks for the fast reply earlier
i rechecked and yes it is a 2.54mm.
@@niluss6 finished the mod took a little tweaking to get case back together air blowing well on the back of my z fold 3 too bad no room for fan grills that would be great but wont fit...and wouldn't want smaller fans ended up using a single switch running both fans on n off
all in all great mod
thanks for the step by step
@@si12volt1 video please
I suggest use nuctua fan so it wont be noisy
thats what i used been using them for yrs on my 3d printer also
haha Wow so great :D
Genius
Do you know how to add an audio Jack port?
how's the battery drain? is it noticable or not at all?
It's probably like a 15-25% reduction of life
Hello Tony Stark!
Is there a way to make the Gamesir X2 being a type C passthrough PLUS data?
To connect it to a computer while playing and charge while mirroring?
No.
But you can already cast phone screen to PC without connecting USB. What you do is open Connect app of Windows, then start the cast from your phone. The only drawback is the sound will go to your PC, and screen and sound is delayed by a bit.
Checkout this link www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to-mirror-your-android-to-windows-10-with-the-connect-app/#:~:text=On%20your%20Android%20phone%20swipe,in%20my%20case%20%E2%80%93%20HTC%20Connect.
With this setup, you can even livestream the Connect app via OBS on PC
@@niluss6 any ideas how we can "eliminate" the delays and make it playable?
I have a chromecast gen 2 too.
@@georgetsakoumakos1766 i am not sure with the Gamesir X2. I am thinking if you can find a type c female to normal usb male, it might be possible to connect it to a usb hub, then to otg that has a charge input, then connect a usb to hdmi (like the wavlink) to the usb hub. But that's a lot of stuff to connect. And also EggNS probably won't work that way.
It maybe better to get a bluetooth controller or a dualshock 4 and connect phone to hdmi either via mhl (if your phone supports it) or via a wavlink usb to hdmi connected to phone via otg.
Video out via Mhl has no delays.
Wavlink usb to hdmi has a little delay but I think it's playable. Drawback is it probably does some processing to encode the video both on the phone and the wavlink, so need to keep both phone and wavlink cool, and you also need an otg that has charge input. It is this item shopee.ph/product/161746249/7735493965?smtt=0.157718992-1657741337.9
@@niluss6 excellent, but what about 5Ghz network and wireless screen casting?
Will it work with a good rooter?
@@georgetsakoumakos1766 I am not sure if it has improved with other devices and the chromecasts. But I have a fairly new phone (an sd888) on a mesh wifi 5g and casting to a gaming computer still has the same delay as casting a low end phone on a 2.4ghz wifi router a few years back. The delay is similar to casting to any smart tv.
It's actually a whole different experience if you stream a game from pc to phone on a 5ghz router, it works and is really playable.
So maybe Android software or the phone hardware needs improvement in screen casting or screen capturing.
to quase fazendo um desse no meu x2 pro, meu poco x3 esquenta demais ta maluco kkkkkkkkk
Cool mod! But how's the battery consumption of this?
Negligible. I play Apex and it drains my phone whether I use this or not. And you can just plug it in.
Hi, i have an X2 Pro and have been wondering if it would be possible to change its usbc adapter so that it would add an SD card slot compatibility. Internally splitting the main usbc wiring so it will both controll the pad and also put a SD reader in there. Do you think it would be possible?
The gamesir x2 female usbc socket is only for charging, so you can't put sdcard reader there.
I am thinking you'd need to put a usb hub between the phone and the gamesir. So both sdcard reader and gamesir output (the male usbc) to the hub. Then hub output to the phone. Thou I am not sure you can charge anymore via the gamesir female socket if you do it that way. Thou can get a usb hub with power delivery and just skip the gamesir female socket. This might be better since power delivery will support quickcharging.
FYI, On the main board I saw some D+ and D- pads, so maybe those are the signal lines of the male usbc. And maybe you can solder to that.
@@niluss6 exatcly! I was thinking on using the male usbc, not the female. The plan was to 3d print a rectangular brick that would be in the phones place, and it would wire both an SD card and the main usbc male to the phone that would fit on top of it.
Maybe there would be spare space to even put an battery and bluetooth transmitter to when you want to use the gamesir as a bluetooth controller to the phone on an hdmi dock.
😅anyways, that would be my first DIY project, because I have some of the tools and the idea of making it in a neat packaging and usecase was getting me excited. But would be foremost an learning experience. So I greatly appreciante your feedback and tip, thanks.
@@Yamagatabr Nice, that also makes it easier if you putting it outside the controller. I was thinking earlier, there's not much room inside for those parts.
it's possible. I've done. I have connected the c cable of the controller to a female to male extension cable, to an adapter with USB 3.0 input, male c and female c, and another cable that comes out of the extender adapter to where the starting c was previously placed. I have 1TB of games now. It's not very difficult but I explained it wrong.
@@TheGuitarnob this is great!! Why dont you share a video?
Is it possible to make 3.5 jack mod to the gamesir?
I don't like Bluetooth headphones
I was thinking of this mod too. But the space inside is cramped.
What I planned before was to slid a small bluetooth board there, a MX-MH8 M18, hook it to the 5v and a 3.5mm jack to the X2 case. This is because my phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack. I bought the bluetooth board but I decided not to do it as I also have bluetooth earbuds and I don't use mics anyway.
But if you have a device that has a 3.5mm jack and you plan to put a male plug drilled in the X2 to mate with the phone, I think it will be hard. There is not much space, screws may be in the way and it may weaken that part.
Is there any way I can make my self a mod with the digital triggers being more quiet?
Wear Bluetooth earbuds/headphones.
@@niluss6 i play it on the living room with people, they would be hearing it :(
Grab a Bluetooth speaker. Make it louder.
Sorry, I really don't have a solution. I have a xiaomi device and thankfully the speakers in it is loud. I just ignore the clicks and the fan noise.
@@niluss6 alright thanks.
tengo planeado hacer un mod similar a mi razer kishi, ponerle celda peltier y mas, espero tener resultados decentes
That would be really cool!
haz un video y compartelo por aca!
@@DylanDavidVindasLopez claro!
Puedes hacer un tutorial de cómo colocarle los ventiladores por favor
I use a rotary tool to drill. Then use sand paper to clean the edges. Then I used a small amount of epoxy just to keep it in place (you can even use hot glue or just white glue).

I tried fitting a small battery inside the gamesir X2, but connecting both battery terminals to the red and black wires near the springs only made the blue light flash : i want the white charge light to flash. (so it charges the phone)
Putting the battery outside and connecting it through the charge port works though !
Do you know how to make it work from the inside ?
Btw i need the gamepad to power the phone because my poco x3 pro runs windows 11, and usb devices need to deliver power to work
If it was me, probably I will connect the charge board (like a tp4056) between the physical X2 usb female jack and where it is connected to. Plus a switch to actually enable the battery. So you can just connect to existing usb to charge the battery, and battery power will be directed by the charge board to where it is supposed to go to (to your X2 and phone).
@@niluss6 Yes that's the only solution pretty much, problem is the most empty space is found on the other half of the controller
for me i want to mod mine too, i mistakenly bought the lightning version when i actually need is the usb c android one. the shop i ordered from didnt want for a change of the item so im stuck with it. can i still change the lightning module to a type c aside from getting adaptors for it?
If the circuit board is the same, there will be test pads in the circuit board which appears to be for the usb pins. D+ D-, and then the 5v and Gnd like on the vid. You can try to solder an otg cable to those and see if it works or not.
But above is just a guess. There is a high chance the board may be different because iphones have different charging and otg mechanism. But since Android otg is just activated by the short or resistor in the otg cable, it may work.
Or maybe you could just try to resell first. Maybe it will be less of a hassle.
can i do this with the x2 pro?
I am not sure, it looks like its not. Judging from the pictures, it is different on that extension part. There is probably lesser space on the x2 pro.

can u make mine like that too?
hehehe.... you should have it done by someone closer to you.
@@niluss6 just send me yours. i will transfer a cash.
Im going to try to do this lmfao, my redmsgic 9 pro gets a shutoff notification whenever im playing on emulators cos of overheat 😧
make a temp test in games bro
exactly what is the difference in temperature in egg ns? is there really a noticeable difference?
It is hard to quantify with temperature as phone will try to keep it below 50c. But the effect is that I can play longer, and a more stable fps. For example I tried just now in Smashing the battle and it wil dip to 10 ~ 20 fps a lot when it is hot. But with the fans ON it dips to only about 30 ~ 35 fps.
But I think if you use a desk/electric/portable usb fan at home. Try playing in front of it, making the air hit screen or side of your phone. Maybe you don't even need a mod like this that way.
@@niluss6 this I've been doing myself. Play Infront of the fan 🤣🤣 super effective

Hi Bro, that's great, would you like to join our new product testing group? Please tell us how to connect with you?
send me info at xxxx
can you add rumble to this?
I don't know how that would work. There are tiny vibration motors but it is probably better if the game support it which use the phone's vibration motor.
FYI, the Egg NS app for Switch games has an option to rumble using phone's vibrator.
I found a pair of 20x20x8mm fans in my country, will they fit?
@niluss
Just ordered the Gamesir X2 and I am soo excited, even if it is placebo, to do that DIY for my controller!!
Maybe not. The fans I used are 6.3mm thick, there is still a very small space. Maybe a 7mm can still fit.
Thank you, sadly I cannot find in my country what we need!
I will keep checking and make some calls, this mod is A-WE-SOME!
You look like professional mate, your modification was made really well!
