And mine still sounds like jet taking off. Easy solution is turn up the surround sound

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death

the new ones run a smaller chipset that runs a lot cooler. search for xbox 360 falcon chip. they also redesign the heatsinks

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death

That's only in the Halo 3 edition. You've also repeated everything I've said in your posts. The heatsinks weren't redesigned at all, they just added one.

This is a pic of the new heatsink/pipe they added a few months ago

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death

You guys got me curious so I went and took my Halo 3 one apart. Nope no "Falcon" chip.

Found this:

Mine was made on 8/7/07 and it says the ones produced on 8/24/07 and later have the new chips.

if you are going to buy an external fan, dont buy one that latches onto the 360 because it voids your warrenty. Buy the one that the 360 sits on. its like $20-$40
