If you have actually replace the x-clamps and still the problem persists, then i think i cant help it also. I think i will pass

Erm.. my place is actually very near the LRT station and it will be a hassle for you to look for my house, so i guess it will be convenient for both of us to just meet at the same place later? But then can you wait erm.. a bit further before the station so that i doesnt have to go throught the station to get back to the highway? (there is a small space for the cars before the place we met but then this afternoon i think a lot of cars are parking there... )

ah.. oh well time to invest a real hot gun then RM1k plus plus.. gila....

ok dude....will sms u..on the way out now with family.....
just use your gf's hairdryer...should be sufficient.....

hairdyer cannot la..

Is it safe to position th xbox 360 vertically after the x-clamp replacement method....just want to make sure 100% about it ... Master Chief ..any news on the new Elite asian version...?

I think the best is to put in horizontal (don't you guys agree ? ) since this fix mostly all of us are using the fastest way.

so if you put vertical. the motherboard is taking the weight of the heat sink.

Is it safe to position it vertically, using the second method that requires drilling.....hate to position it horizontally...

put the xbox360 horizon makes it look realy lame tak ada umph
when vertical wowo handsome xD

boss drilling not worth it at all lah. later your heatsink looks ugly even though it's inside the casing ppl wont see it but you are lying to yourself because you know inside tak cantik already so makan tak lalu tidur tak lena hehehe...

* i called you twice yesterday using my house phone you didnt pick up lah. today got project wanna invite you

PM replied.....bukan apa....no space at my TV rack....if vertical..cun2 bleh slip it inside....

Mine is still on vertical.. b4 and after zombie mode.
I never like the horizontal look, summore the heat easier to release when its in vertical stance.

Problem solved..thnx to virgil....for his excellence svc...his xclamp replacement method involves drilling....going to re-arrange my xbox 360....by the way..did the stress teat for 6 hours..(havent slept yet)..it works marvelous.....thnx virgil ....

Actually if you put it vertically, the heatsinks might be providing a bit of a downforce on the mobo. This is because it is not attach to the metal casing as it used to be. So it will only be attached to the mobo. By putting it vertically, the weight of the heatsinks will heavily result in a downwards force wholly suffered by the mobo.

Hey hey no problem! Its all for the sake of the LIVE community.

No wonder lah...

Virgil is one cool dude. takes all the trouble to fix our consoles. couldnt thank him enough. there's still good people out there =D

Hey seriously its no trouble at all.. i am glad that you got your console back alive and moaning for more flesh

Btw, have you found a substitute to the rubber landing pad on your console? I really tried as hard as i could looking everywhere for it but still couldnt find it. In fact i didnt even realize it until you told me about it.

if seem most xbox360 user machine eventually got 3rod after 1 year plus usage so sad but lucky got fix
