Thanks for the job Id. I seriously doubt anyone on XS has a bs/ms in electrical engineering. If they do send in your resume , make us a better board , and be sure to leave a back door for homebrewage.

I do have a BS in EE, plus a few other degrees to my name, but working for M$ sucks, pay levels are low, and you only get to work on small section of any project. -- In fact my company has hired people away from M$ over the last few years. -- I would never think of lowering myself, or closing up my own company, to work with such crap at the "xbox 360". -- I even throw job offers from Sony in my trashcan. -- Being your own boss is the best, even if the pay levels varys from year to year due to the up and downs of the every changing marketplace. -- I wish the best of luck to those that do decide to apply for this job.

Easy...

Combine the gpu and cpu onto one chip. Move it out from under the dvdrom and put a decent heatsink and fan ontop of it.

Am I hired?

The Xenon processor is PPC. To date, IBM has not released a CP/GPU chip (not unlike the new 32nm 1156's). Not only that, but on-die graphics suck. That cancels that idea.

I doubt there can would sweeping changes like that anyways, MS and Sony are just now breaking profit on each system, no? My ideas though:

- 40/45nm CPU/GPU
- Slot feed slim DVD player
- Two large ducted heatsinks (or two GPU heatsinks from Jasper)
- Larger fans that push more air with less CFM (less noise)

Please perform the proper testing during the EU phase. Waiting for the retail customer to figure out what is wrong with the design is not a good business model.

Why not? It's what they do with their software!

I would be happy if they just subbed it out to MSI or Asus...

Actually a very good suggestion.

There's actually nothing wrong with the X-Clamps, provided the black screws are firmly in place as they hold the CPU/GPU area level. The boards warping are due to extremely cheap and flimsy PCBs. Look at the PS2 motherboard and how sturdy it is by comparison.

[iD4rK]

That is already planned: Combining the CPU & GPU.

Something useful to add is to use 1 extraction turbine instead of 2 fans, turbines are more efficient.

And even if it only was a rumor, that fans suck. The casing could have better airflow as well.

For the noobs = Turbines is what the high end graphic cards use. Ex. Geforce 8800 GTX (old but high end).

I just want to know how they can stuff it up so many years in a row and then ethically sell a unit they know is going to break. crazy.  
Every one play dumb.

This xenon board can be " properly repaired" and still go strong for a very long time if the fan speed is increased. so maybe they should start from there.

I like apples.

I'd have to strongly disagree with that one after seeing how fast he dismissed my findings and swept my thread under the carpet.

Too much invested here on temporary fixes.

Because RDC argued with you for a solution that many of us might think is overstimated and others understimated, that doesn't give you the right to "kick" him. Some respect man! He is a genius and helped many people here. You are new (edit: and a kiddo) .. you will learn....

P.S. If you want to go for a debate about your proposed solution, create a proper tutorial and put real data in your profile and come on the "ring" to "punch" with valid claims, not aerology and fixed schematics to stand up your sayings.

Are we talking about an active member? 140 posts don't seem like this. This make worse his position, he should know better what RDC has offered to all of us in here!

P.S. I was active since 06 but I had to change account (other nick) since a problem occured when the forum was heavily updated couple years ago.

[pinkerton]

I think this job is a BS red herring just to get this board to discuss a new 360 revision so MS can nick all the idea's.

For what it's worth my conclusion was 3 years in the making and involved observations of hundreds of consoles... but whatever.
