Well Zephyr or Falcon, its still prone to 3rod due to the design flaw of the stock ventilation system on the xbox
Better have the x-clamp remove, Nos Modded, and fans running at 12V

QUOTE(mypetridish @ Nov 15 2007, 03:21 PM) thing is, there's no xclamp in falcon. it runs much cooler which is the core of the problem causing RROD = heat. given that u guys are in malaysia where the room temp is higher than here, it should be more beneficial to get a falcon than a Zephyr. Dude where are you located? Sounds like you are in US am i correct?

QUOTE(mypetridish @ Nov 15 2007, 03:31 PM) yeah im in ny ah my mistake. yes there are xclamps. hm i think i heard it back in kotaku comments that it doesnt have xclamps. Added on November 15, 2007, 3:31 pmp/ sill take that 3 years rrod warranty over removing the xclamps anytime anyday  Yeah a friend of mine is in SF, i think he also has the new batch running on 65nm and also a HDMI port behind the console. But he told he has no problem on 3rod except that his cd drive is experiencing some rattling sound when loading games.

QUOTE(jackal_x2005 @ Nov 15 2007, 10:09 PM) TOTALLY AGREED!! It's the GPU which is the culprit of 3ROD...not the CPU..eventhough the CPU now 65nm, but GPU still 90nm...hm...still need to get extra fan to blow heat away from the console...or do the NOS mod Yup i'm glad you guys agree with me hehe. Even if i get a new Elite xbox in the future will immediately send it to Reza for Nos Mod. save time and piece of mind

QUOTE(bllizard19 @ Nov 16 2007, 11:15 PM) Dude, what is NOS mod? thanks. Dude check it out http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/442461The Nos mod is adding an extra fan and making a custom vent to direct the hot air being blowed by the extra fan away from the main GPU. That way you can have marathons sessions on HALO3 or COD 4 without worrying your xbox will be hit by 3rod hehe

QUOTE(DjiNn @ Feb 13 2008, 05:26 PM) recon ? you mean refurbish units ? that was long time ago, 1st few batch was ok, but then all are crap. doesn't seems to stand that long . So all reject. and yup, only have brand new elites. why not wait for the latest premium pack? When will the latest premium pack arrive bro?
