I was under the impression that you had to use the shortest wire possible because you want to minimize resistance. My Xenium OS looks dull BUT when I play games etc...Everything is fine! So maybe it's just the OS is supposed to be like that? Oh well. Plus the higher guage the wire, the thinner it is which = more resistance. I'm guessing that my wires are about 22 guage compared to the thinner 30 guage wire. The reason I did the install this way was because once the Xenium was unplugged and removed, it would be as if the LPC ports were not "jumped" at all(without desoldering the wires). Maybe a good thing for XBOX LIVE on a 1.6??? I dont know, just an extra precaution but I haven't tried to go on LIVE yet. If I did try, I would have to switch my stock HDD back in. Hey NW_US3R, you didn't count all the solderpoints in your method(Solderless adapter plus soldered LPC jump points: You gotta count both ends of wire that you soldered to the MOBO. Thats 10 points + 1(DO) = 11 solderpoints. EDIT: OH I forgot its ACTUALLY MORE than 11 solderpoints because you have to solder the other pins in the pinheader as well! So that's a total of 16+1(DO) = 17 solderpoints on the xbox MOBO using the CONVENTIONAL WAY! MY WAY only uses 5+1(DO) = 6 solderpoints on the MOBO Clean look = more solderpoints and more chance of frying the board. My Way = Less solderpoints and less chance of frying the board. |
