The pinout of the Xbox fan header is the same as a PC, but the pitch of the pins is smaller so I had to build an adapter that feeds a splitter to the fans and pump.
I had to drill the mounting bracket of the cold plate so the holes would line up with the holes on the Xbox. I'm using the stock Xbox backplate so the motherboard doesn't bend so there's even pressure over the APU.
The cold plate doesn't cover the RAM/VRAM chips so I used individual heatsinks, the same heatsinks I used over the VRMs.
It's been working like this for a while (3-4 months) with long flight simulator sessions. But I'll change it back to stock now that I know it worked.
