Also, did you notice the little part. I don't know the proper name for it, but someone did it to the executer to make it easier to install/uninstall by putting long pins in and it fits over top, thats what this looks like.

Sons of bitches took the X-ecuter design and added pins to it. It does screw down how I thought with the screw hole where the X-ecuter Horseshoe is. Well I hope it sits perfect 24/7 through bumps and grinds cause I'd sure hate to see some of you guys plugging the bitch in and finding that it shifted a bit and is now bridging the 5v and the Nvidia chip line..lol...Pzzzzzztttt!
Hey it looks nice though, so I will give them that. Also looks VERY familiar though....very familiar.
But I AM NOT bashing the chip, just those fuckers at easybuy that pulled some really stupid shit on those of you that ordered Pcbioxx.
The chip does look good, and if it works properly 100% of the time, then it is pretty damn sweet. So don't jump on my shit for having a laugh at it though, because it is the X-ecuter..or what the X-ecuter should have been.

Yeh Troll123 came up with the pin design way.

That's the only thing I'm worried about.

Now I see why they kept it secret for so long
Its *very* clever.
If you "flip it around" in your mind, you will see that it is in fact an X-ecutor-type LPC mod. The little "magnets" look in fact to be for want of a better word, pin/nail heads, or say metal cylinders that sit on the solder pads. I'd bet they were pointy, as since solder is soft, once its screw on it could "dig in" to the solder pads on the logic board for better contact.
Good call Dark, good call.
The larger chip is obviously a flash; I'm guessing the socket on the top there is for connecting a Parallel port to it, as opposed to putting pins on the Xbox logic board, then plugging in.
Logically then the switches (as there are two) should be a disable, and a flash on/off.
Yeah, I would have kept this puppy under wraps too, as it will be cloned by the end of the week
I'm gonna get my hands on one of these things to see how well it works; I have a couple of buddies with xboxen that need to come on over and Join In

can't you just place a electronic tape over the other solder points just in case?

Funny how Easybuy still hasn't updated their site.

I thought about that. Though if the chip is screwed on incredibly tight and still moves, it'll probably rip right under the tape and still make a connection to points its not supposed to. I will probably try electrical tape and hope for the best though. Unless I'm recommended against using it.

Anyways, on top of that...I think the picture is wrong. Look how you draw your lines, , ok, now explain why the screw hole is over the board? It does not line up with the screw location.
It appears that the chip would be a better fit, over screw hole and all points if flipped, but then would have problem attaching the header for flashing.. I would wait till the installation guide is released before making further assumptions.
I personally dont like posting something that is wrong, but i have done it before.
Anyways... that is my 2cents... I may be wrong, but I think the big question is still....why doesnt the screw location line up??? Unless they have found another point to ground out the BIOS on the opposite side of the connector...
So far I like what I see.....Potential buyer here....

id like a solder chip with the same PBC layout as the x-cuter 1.1
that looks very nice and neat to solder on!!!
but have the finish of the matrix chip, where can flash the bois and stuff easily.
i hope the x-cute team make such a chip VERY soon cause this is just a copy cat of the xcuter design. and xcuter deserve sales more then xodus does.

1 switch is to turn the mod on/off, the other one to flash the chip...
