isnt it 33% or so? dont forget that those who get hit by it will probably b**** about it online, while those who arent dont post about it.

for all xbox360 owner, 3rrod is a curse and for me who takes a lot of times to save money just to enjoy playing this platform, wasting a console over permanently is something that is the worst nightmare.
actually i already got once 3rrod and it scare the hell out of me as i am enjoying playing mass effect right now,
so, using my old gadget from good old PC modding knowledge back at university time, i dont care how terrible the looks as long as i don't get the curse fell into my beloved 360...
well, i upload it for all of you, just FYI...
[attachmentid=364953]
overall view of my 360...
[attachmentid=364954]
upper fan for HDD
[attachmentid=364955]
3 fan on lower casing provide enough air flow...
[attachmentid=364956]
2 powerful fan to suck out hot air from inside 360...
[attachmentid=364957]
before modding this set-up,playing games for 30minutes already makes this part very hot and when u eject the disc, u can feel it hot too. laser form the reader WONT make that kind of heat, only hot air trapped inside can make it hot. and that is the main cause of 3rrod.
after i make this freak set-up, this area ain't feeling any heat at all.
and now i can enjoy with peace of mind playing mass effect hehe... notworthy.gif

haha, believe me, i done that also. tongue.gif
only not as close to the console as that lar. i think the chipsets damaged already, or the pins can't align anymore after cook it. so everyone else better get good cooling method for their console before the chipsets damaged till cannot revived it anymore..
