Product Description:
Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both. Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both! The PSU Energyzer requires no assembly or wiring - just plug it in, turn on your PC power supply, and turn on your Xbox 360.
The PSU Energyzer is a special cable with an OEM Xbox 360 power plug on one end, and a 20 pin ATX connector on the other.
Please note that the original Xbox 360 Power Supply provides 203 watts, and 12v DC current at 16.5 amps, and 5v DC at 1 Amp. For the PSU energyzer to work, your PC power supply must provide this much SUSTAINED power at a minimum. Many PC power supplies are rated for PEAK power instead of sustained power, so you must check the label of your power supply to see if it provides enough sustained power.

Works perfect with “Falcon” 175W Xbox360 unit by Snail
Purchased 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.
Doesn’t work with new 360 by J. T. Chapman
I 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.
Works Great! by K. Smith
Make 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.
Fire Hazard by Austin P. Murkland
I bought this cable thinking with all the dead xbox 360 power supplies i’ve gone through, even if the computer PSU’s died it would be cheaper to buy new computer PSU’s than keep getting xbox 360 psu’s. Well this thing worked GREAT for the first 2 weeks, i couldn’t be happier with its performance, until it caught fire where the two pieces connect, and melted a corner fusing them together permanently as well as not working any longer due to the part that caught on fire. i would STRONGLY discourage ANYONE from purchasing this or any other 3rd party power supply, i’ve tried them ALL. ALL of them have died on me, usually melting somewhere along the process filling my house with the toxic burning plastic. Buy a used microsoft power supply, they’re covered by microsoft’s warranty if anything goes wrong. it may seem like you’re saving money right now, but when it dies, it may just take your house and your family with it. it’s not worth the risk, and shouldn’t be sold in the USA as it hasn’t passed any of the ISO standards for safety compliance.
If anyone wants pictures, i am willing to provide them.
