My only failure that I can tell is my inability to explain my solution. There is clearly a lack of communication/ understanding here. How can a freestanding heatsink detached from an uneven base apply ANY flexing torque on the motherboard?
This is what team hybrid claims is the problem!? The X-clamps free standing in this config DO NOT flex the board. it is pressure applied from the case as you even acknowledged that is the real problem. The solution is so simple!
Think of a string being held between only two points with opposing force, it will form a straight line from point A to point B. Now attach a third point and apply another force, the string is no longer a straight line. This is what happens to many 360 motherboards when the heatsink is fastened to the case.
Explain what it is exactly that is wrong with my sig so I can better explain myself and we can all grow and stop causing long term damage to our consoles.
Anyone here who apposes logical debate may get my apologies but NOT my respect, that is for certain!
Team hybrid did a lot of testing to "prove" there point , they didn't just randomly come up with information. What exactly do you do relaxxx? Just taking out the black screws will not fix it that is really all your sig says that is any kind of instruction. If you do that then fan and shroud mod you aren't addressing the issue. Your picture is so blurry i almost wonder it it wasn't touching the motherboard and you didn't want us too see that. It is a minor detail to argue about , the MobO is definitely flexing on the sides when you screw it down around most of the plugs. Write us a tutorial , your thread about debunking the x-clamp myth would never have been taken seriously by anyone here , not with how you presented it , a lot of people have been replacing x-clamps and doing other various repair methods that worked for them , yours is not even known. Write up a clean unbiased tutorial , that explains in detail what you do AFTER an xbox red rings , preventative steps do not count as you can't guarantee the machine would have broken down as it does not suffer a 100% failure rate. The metal cage is a big issue the x-clamps may provide sufficient force and i don't think the amount of flex from the heatsink standoffs is significant enough too cause the separation of the chip from the board , it is the cheap solder and the great deal of heat that causes the most problems. I really don't see any logical debating going on with you man , it's more arrogance. Write us up a tut as i said before , and open a new thread with a less arrogant title than debunking the x-clamp myth , provide detailed pictures of your own work don't edit someone elses , and show us a video of your fix working. That is what Team Hybrid did to show their "fix" so let's see it. If you do that you might actually get some credibility. Every idea will be taken seriously when presented in different light , a lot of people on here know more than you , they know a lot more than i do too i am no expert i learn by reading what others do , i would even be willing to try whatever you are doing just to give it a shot , their are many different ways people "fix" the errors none are wrong as long as they work.
