Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
this is just what i was told in training for a job last year...never really got to play with one other than one night. but the temporary part of it basically means you can send it off and they can fix it. ive seen pics of shelves where they plug them up to servers or some ---- and basically whip the harddrive clean and start over.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
It's due to the X-clamps that hold the cooling fins on the main processor and graphics chip bending the board and cracking solder joints over time. This has been fixed with recent units that use screws instead of the shitty X-clamps. They have also added an additional heat pipe and cooling fins for better cooling capacity.
