My first one couldn't even last me for 3 months then it 3rod, fixed by x-clamp method (from bro Virgil). It lasted for another six months then it 3rod again, but this time I fixed it myself. Sold it to a friend and it is still working now (about 3 months already). I got myself a new Falcon set, if it is ever get 3rod again, bye bye microsoft. Enough is enough...

well not necessary is the confirmation about the thermal paste issue.. it could be the motherboard flexing to the max already which is hardly can even be fix.

towel trick ah? can work.. but it will eventually make the motherboard flex to the max.. after that I guess no matter how many towel you put still will be 3 ROD already.

Dont! Never use the towel trick.
Just imagine it like this.
You would wanna heat up the GPU/CPU chip ONLY. And with the towel trick you are actually pushing every chips inside the console to the maximum heat. So it might be too late to fix it via x-clamp replacement if you have used the towel trick for just a temporary fix.

Bro, i dun understand why this is to late to fix vis x-clamp after did the towel trick??
Opps.. i got the answer ad, how to check our mobo confirm have completely flexing ??

today i used Towel trick i put towel 2 so i just turn on i see 3rod so i waited 15min so after i just removel towel so i turn off i waited 30min cool down after i turn on i see Green light works for me i played gameplay working fine
any problem used towel trick ????

Working fine? We'll see about that. Keep on playing.

yes working fine green light any problem used towel trick ???

According to reports from the net (including some from here), the towel trick is only a temporary solution, worst than xclamp.

I am in full agreement with you bro.
Towel trick. Yes it works but than it wont last you more than a week.
Continue playing like what bro cannavaro had said and you will know the effect.
You can continue the towel trick but i can give you personal guarantee that your xbox is going to be totally dead before you know it.
Harsh but it is true

how da heck am i going to fix dat

hope it wont happen

any tips on wat else to do to keep ur 360 safe besides cooling? maybe loosen/tighten the srews every 10 years etc2

use artic silver or any other better thermal paste la. BTw, my 360 sent to bro tot31 for operation. Hope really can save back ><

Let me know the status...as I will make a last attempt to fix my dying x360 with other fixers.....such as tot and rezalid....never say die..but I will still believe that the best solution for 3rod x360 is to send it to spore.....for warranty claims....

i never use artic silver coz its conductive i use tuniq tx-2 better compare to artic silver non conductive and better cooling

EDIT;btw i heard noctua is good
