ROFL anyone here (dat owns falcon) wanna ask... grim reaper came visit ur falcon o not?

Mine bought before CNY after consulting DjiNn...based on the 175watts power brick, my Falcon still working nicely up-to-date...tested it heavily during 1st week of CNY with 12 hours gameplay daily, my lil bro continue to torcher the Elite as I'm back to daily working hours...still find some spare time to slug it out on Fight Night after work frm time to time...hope it will last me for few years...invested heavily via CNY Bonus to get the Elite as it's the safe $ bet Falcon unit period... smile.gif

are all falcon chip have the hdmi output? how do i want to know which one is falcon when i'm buying online like in ebay`?

NOT all falcon chip have HDMI output...but as far as I'm concerned all Premium and Elite which come with Falcon chip have HDMI output lor...to check whether it's Falcon, i did mine by looking at the power brick...make sure it's 175watts...not anything higher, and so far i haven't seen any lower YET... biggrin.gif

3rd =O ! any of you guys use any cooling solutions to prevent RROD?

be cautious with some 3rd party unauthorized cooler bro...Djinn told me some will spoil our console rather then helpin... laugh.gif I had bad experience with 3rd party cooler too...while fail here and there searchin for a black cooler for my Elite...i was kinda desperate and bought a cooler with a bee logo and some japanese character for the product's description...guess what? once i plug it in into the power source from the back of the 360 and turn my console on...3ROD!!! freakin scared i remove it and turn my console ON again...working perfectly...

P/s: out of curiosity and knowing that I have warranty for my 360, I tried the cooler 3 times and it's STILL THE SAME!!! vmad.gif return it to the reseller and maki hamun him tongue.gif

sometimes 3rods happen not because of the CPU / GPU or what ever,may be not enough power to the power supply.Like a intercooler which is attach at the back of the 360,at some point the AC cable also plug in at the intercooler...it may be the intercooler didnt supply the power good enough for the 360 console,thats also can cause 3rod...for me dont use any of the intercooler...especially 3rd party brand...so bahaya liew.

when i bought my elite falcon edition at Gamers Hideout and ask DjiNn,is it good to use the Intercooler..He said, not good and kindda bising...so i listen up from the expert.

so Ricgatebecko my good friend , dont use the intercooler cause falcon already run better then the previous 360s...aite...have a nice day !

yeap, I agree and support ur facts there bout 3ROD showin up when there's power shortage supplied to the 360...the unfortunate cooler i bought was exactly like how u're describing it, attached at the back of the 360 and the power source plugged into it instead of the 360...so 360ian, be careful with 3rd party cooler...or even better abandon the plan to get/use one! no worries gamersfamilia, i have abandon the idea of using a cooler ad...

I'm using the Nyko Intercooler EX (black color matching with the elite)- it has been 4 months with no incidents. Yes the old Nyko Intercooler were problematic but they claimed they fixed it with the EX version. I'm also using the Nyko Intercooler for my PS3. I dont really recommend most people to use external cooling fans but I am using them temporarily since my consoles are now on a temporary location where the airflow and temperature are horrible (I can feel the heat generated from my console, TV and amps almost 4 feet away!). Once I move to my new place I'll be taking off those cooling fans. They're noisy and in the case of PS3 probably not really needed. Most cooler fan related problems happen cause they're pulling power directly from the power brick in the case of X360.

i can definitely see ur point there bro...thanks for the info/advice...let's kick out those noisy and problematic cooler once and for all aight! our console deserve to live a hassle free and independent life! laugh.gif
