For those buying new Xbox, my advise is please be ready, because many forummer who is xbox owners have encountered at some point in their console life that their beloved xbox was hit by 3rod eventually.

This can't be help because Microsoft design the xbox with this flaw.

Piece of advise is to have your xbox x-clamp removed or doing Nos modding which will cool your xbox gpu better and created better air flow for the hot air to be sucked out by the dual fans running at 12v.
