And mine still sounds like jet taking off. Easy solution is turn up the surround sound O0

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

I got one of th Halo 3 editions because they were out of all other. Are they any better?

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death

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

I bought an external fan that the box sits on. has 2 laptop fans in it with some ricer green neons when the unit is turned on.

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

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

yea, pretty sure my fan got mine to hit the awesome red ring after a week...woot!!!!

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

those fans are super bullshit.

also those heat sinks on them are super bullshit as well.

imma sell a water cooling kit for those hard core losers.
