Xbox 360's keeping its cool? |
Ó
We've tried everything imaginable to keep our Xbox 360's as cool as ice. Remember Team Xtender's XCM 360 High Speed Air Cooler, complete with a thermometer and two high speed fans? How about the stylish Antec Notebook Cooler? Or maybe you also followed Dano2k0's footsteps and had your Xbox 360 internally watercooled?Whatever the case may be, we've all the blamed the heatsinks for overheating issues and it looks like Microsoft is finally going to put their foot down and do something.
Rumor has it that Microsoft is going to switch to new processors that will use a 65nm process than the consoleÂ’s current 90nm chips. Making the console cooler and running more efficiently. Reports also have it that Chartered Semiconductor will be stepping in with the new chips in the first months of the coming year.
These new chips will bring forth a much cooler Xbox 360 and will set the three rings of death at bay.

my 360 got the three rings today after 5 months
F%$K
Did you Xbox 360 started to freeze up occasionally before giving you the 3 red lights. I've been doing some research that shows that once your 360 freezes, it goes all downhill from there. By occasional freezing, I mean your dashboard would freeze up more than normal. Did it just give you 3 red lights one day or what?
Thats really great but, what about the other few million 360 owners with the 90nm chips? Do we just get left in the dust or what?
I seem to remember them talking about something like this before the 360 launched...that after a year or so they would be switching to a lower priced chips.
rumour has it? they officially anounced it at X06, and as the other guy said, yes before launch they even said that later on they would switch to 65nm,
and to the other guy about leaving us in the dust, well.. if your 360 works then whats the prob? my launch one broke but this ones ok, its always hot in here (bout 80'F most of the time) but my 360 works fine, no overheating at all..
if it overheats n messes up, then hell send it back and get another, try taking it back to the store where you got it and ask em to exchange it, thats what i did, screw sending it off!
talk about micro$oft $hitting on there customers who already bought the 360
ive got 2 new fan in the 360 4200rpm 80mm cut out the back and mod them in now evein on hot days it sits at a cool 42 max 32 min :)
This is OLD news and it' isn't Microsoft admitting the processors run to hot..it's to cut costs.. 65nm will give them higher yields on the processors which will save them money.
