stupid quote buttons aren't on the add reply page....blah and my browser is bein GAY or i dunno...I get a blank page when I click the quote button....but anywho
score 
thanks I think I can figure it out ha
what happens when one random xbox lasts past the warranty
....iam freakin shafted
yea i was just talkin to one of my friends about that...putting xbox games on the HD..that would really help if one was concerned about noise...
okie dok...I want to prevent the problem....doing the putty thing initially before RROD wouldn't help??
=s but isn't the X-Clamp the root of that problem...I feel like Wilhelm_I on this...its not
if but a matter of
when your system fails.
something has just dawned on me...ha I haven't done much research on the cause of the RROD most everything I have read is how to fix it..ha or TRY to fix eh...lol....but....from all that one can tell your problem is usually the CPU/GPU, RAM, and "south bridge I think...the ANA Chip??"...Right??
*talking to myself
* Okay so obviously poor soldering, cold solder points, or weak solder points...in these areas are failing...and just from being around computer electronics blah blah board fluctuation can be a problem because of constant temp change...on/off on/off on/off
What would be the best way to minimize board fluctuation and warping...lower the temp??
What are the best measures to sustain the current infrastructure of chips and solder points??
WOW..this thread>>>>
http://forums.xbox-s...o...660357&st=0 is very discouraging
...I'm lost for words....
Thanks,

....oh yes btw my error is 0020 ARRRR!!
Does the.....umm yea....the....I dare say
...the PS3 have these problems
cause on that note ^ we are all screwed
just remember. no one speaking in that thread actually *knows* why the xbox has so many more problems than a common PC.
no one knows for sure we only have theories. some are better than others.
I think the largest cause of the rrod is movement of the board relative to the gpu. which is caused by a few things,, the board not being completely secure around the gpu and cpu, the pressure not being evenly applied to the base of the cpu/gpu. and excessive heat which acts as a catalyst for the warping.
so the first thing you should do as a preventative is to cool everything better. heat is DEFINATLY part of the cause. they don't develop the ring of death when they are turned off do they?
if you do want to go further. replacing the xclamps with screws will hold the h/s to the board more securely but it doesn't apply pressure evenly to the gpu because the board becomes less rigid when it gets hot and because the screws only apply pressure through the board this can actually cause more warping.
in my opinion the only way to fully prevent failure is to apply even pressure to the base of the gpu, hold the board down at the corners of the h/s and have good cooling.
so we have an engineering problem. we need to combine the xclamps with the xclamp replacement and something to go between the xclamp and motherboard to apply the pressure evenly.
people have actually been working on this problem for a while now. and they are due to release their solution this weekend. the elusive hybrid project.
so i guess we will have to wait and see. it might be a very good preventative
