Bros,
wanted to share with you guys, i have been thinking, one of the reason X360 got 3 red light of dead, is overheating and the GPU cooling system are just merly a heat sink unlike the CPU there is heatpipe and stuff, when the system shut down, the ventilation fan behind the box stop pulling air out, the heat will be staying at the GPU and it will take a while to fade off.

Hence if im right, shutting down the console straight after gaming, might cause the heat to be release slowly and thus slowly damage the GPU, same theory like the turbo timer in a turbo car where the turbine need some time to cool down before shut down, if not it will damage the turbine, so in order to pro-long the life span, after the game quit to the dashboard and let it cool down for 1 to 5 minutes before shutting down the console.

hope my prediction was right, kinda scare of the 3 lights of dead, especially there are alot of nice games coming out this season.
