So I was wondering how can you tell if you have the new 65mm processor besides actually taking off the heatsink and everything. I took apart my 360 and found that it had an extra heatpipe going to another heatsink so is that an indication of a 65mm processor? Picture below.

I can't see if it is a 90 or 65 nm processor on the picture but just say what 360 model you have and I should be able to help.

I have two of them, one is a Halo 3 edition and the other one is a pro edition, both have HDMI outputs.

from what ive read the 65nm cpu core has an heatsink without an heatpipe on it.

Really? why would they want to take heatpipes away from a heatsink?

i would think it will be cheaper.

theres a picture of the new heatsink in this article :-

Well, if you have the Halo 3 edition after the lot number 734 it should have a 65 nm cpu in it.

I just recently bought a Halo 3 Special Edition, and its like 3 or 4 lots before that one, and has the heatpipe so its not a '65. Is it such a big deal, I have a 2 year store warranty, and 3 years with MS. As long as it doesnt play any better then I'm happy. I like the HALO edition a lot.

they removed the heatpipe because the 65nm's are much cooler, and probably don't need that

i would keep the heatpipe in the heatsinks just in case if i were the guy at microsoft who runs the show (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
