Check the Power supply. If it's rated above 200w, it's prone to this:

Output is 175w. Its brand new and its the 360 elite which I was told was less prone to the rings of death. I already took it apart and I have a decent ammount of fiber glassing skills so I think im going to buy one of those intercoolers for the back and remove the back fan. After removing the back fan im going to do alittle case modding and glass it into the side over the CPU/GPU area. Also I took a playing card and taped it in a way so that it directs the air straight thu the heatsink. Once im done modding it up ill post some pics. I think i may use something along the lines of Panaflo 120mm for the fan I glass into the side instead of using the little stock fans. Maybe to two of these as my ins for the air and turn the inter cooler fans so they blow out. Also im going to switch out the LED's on the front from green to blue and do some other light and cooling mods.

I might do some research into building a simple/cheap watercooling system for the 360 and see if I can get it to work. If so I might start selling the plans online. Its been my understanding from this forum and many others that these things overheat like crazy. I just wish I could figure out a way to get into some type of bios and overclock this thing. It shouldnt be hard to get something together parts wise in the $50-$150 since it seems like its only the CPU and GPU that need blocks.

Something consisting of a CPU Water Block, GPU Water Block along with a mini Pump, Reservoir,Radiator, and Fan. Koolance makes one but its way over priced and massive.

Sorry for the thread derail. But I will make a thread for my schweet modded out 360 in the coming months.

What happens if you do all of that and it dies anyway? Aren't the warranties like 3 years now? Something like these don't void your warranty.

"We must protect the thread"!!!

I was just replying to to the warning about the red ring deal. My OP was on topic ;p

[Nighthawk]

Yeah, there's another thread about that Xbox issue though. Two actually.

Just trying to keep this one on achievements.
