Just got a Xbox Jasper last Tuesday. Played about an hour of Fable 2 yesterday but it ran kinda hot after half an hour. It seems quieter and the fan seems to blow out less air. I was wondering if it is normal for a Jasper unit to run hot after an hour of gaming. Mine is a 12,1A 150W Arcade model with 256MB built in memory.

This is my second xbox. The first one (Xenos) croaked on me last week after 3 years of service.

My point is why did Microsoft turn down the fan speed and will it cause RRoD in the near future?

So, what solder that the Jasper GPU is using this time? Is it still the lead free solder or have they changed it?
