New 360 Info

[halo3]

Hey its me halo3 this is my research and I am the first one to post this! So be sure to give me creidt =-P

 

I overheated my 360 and when it overheated the airflow temp was a 69C.

Also you get the seccondary error codes the same way as a regular 360.

Also it has green leds not red lol.

And differant error codes(i tought at first they were the same then I looked at the vid I took and realized they are differant) 0122 is now the new overheating code.

 

Btw to overheat it i had to wrap the stupid thing up in blackets and tape vents so major credit to ms this thing doesn't overheat easily and then once it overheats it cools down really quick

 

+ rep plz lol

Research? lulwot. Thats not research.

You were always a weird little guy halo3..

1. I overheated my 360 and when it overheated the airflow temp was a 69C.

2. Also you get the seccondary error codes the same way as a regular 360.

3. Also it has green leds not red lol.

4. And same error codes

+ rep plz lol

 

1. Why? why don't you record temperatures on hour intervals while playing games and keeping the 360 on during that time (10 hours) that would be more research to see how much the temp increases over time

 

2. ok

 

3. everyone knew this before

 

4. still points to two

 

5. Why ruin a perfectly good xbox s? I have one and Im trying to keep it in great condition

[Rogue Modder]

So in summary. Microsoft made a better xbox? We all knew that idiot.

[.Slack♠]

hey you guys guess what? i wrapped my brand new 360 in a blanket and suffocated it with tape to try and kill it! but all for research.

We do what we must because we can.

1. I did and i found it says around one temp

3. No one really knew this before, if so where? I've never seen the info and I am constantly looking for it on the new 360.

5.It doesn't ruin it I was monitoring the temps all I did was got the gpu/cpu to overheat then I let it cool down, it is perfectly fine

Yeah I totally agree with you there, overheating isn't bad at all. /sarcasm

 

Do you understand anything about the way computers in general work?

It can be very bad depending on how long you overheat it for and how hot it gets. Exactely why you shouldn't do the x-clamp trick. I monitered the temps to make sure it didn't get too hot and I removed everything as soon as it overheated. So no it is perfectly fine.

My point being that you shouldn't overheat hardware, and no, chances are it is not perfectly fine.

Actually, it isn't on a 360, safeguards shut the console off to prevent any damage at a temp lower than what would be necessary to damage the console. Now, if you wanna cut the temp sensor trace and then try this, that might be a different story...

I'm surprised people even give this guy the satisfaction of an argument. It's been established long ago that he has no idea about pretty much anything...

Uploaded the vid

As do most CPUs. But you still shouldn't push it to that point.

This is true.

+ REP'd H3 lol .... u lot argue with Halo3 Alot ...

This is true.

Well its fine if you do it all of one time, just as long as you don't run it that hot for long. Also the new xbox 360 overheats at airflow temp of 69C while the older one would run even after the air reaches 80C. So I made sure it won't damage it. Also since I got the think the dvd drive hasn't been right so I'm swaping it for a new one anyways lol.

Can you do me a favor? Take some in depth pics of the new 360's heat sinks, I want to take a look. Thanks

what did u say about the DVD Drive ?

[halo3]

what did u say about the DVD Drive ?

just whenever it is standing up and im playing the game the drive sounds super loud, i called ms and they said to exchange it for a new one with gamestop becasue i got it less then 30 days ago. They said it would lead to problems later on, maybe a dead drive?

Oh

Interesting, look at the new heatsink/fan. It seems far more efficient, but aluminum? x.x

I know that they are producing these in the millions, but they probably should have used a copper heatsink.

 

Edit:

I would also like to do a test on the thermal compound they used and see the underside of the heatsink.
