My 360 burned up

hes getting an overheating problem. you need to get yourself some arctic silver. 8 5mm screws and 16 washers, clean the old thermal paste off(lighter fluid i found works great!) take off the stupid x clamps. apply the new paste and bolt the heatsinks down, 2 washers under the heatsink usually works great, those "chips" that he put pennies on dont get hot, its all about the gpu and cpu that is causing the errors. after you re-attach the heatsinks unplug the fan and let it get the 2 red rings, then you will be golden, ive fixed more then a couple this way

interesting......I looked up what you said, and it appears to be a bad heat sink connection that's causing the gpu to over heat and not the ramm?

I'm still clueless on fact of what causes 3RROD, as there are a lot of contradicting noobs out there with cheesy or dumb "fixes".....but I do have a bit of info....to reset your xbox after you've completed your 3rrod fix you must unplug the fan let it get the two red rings turn off plug the fan back in again and it should start up from there. This has been verified by several sources.

If you really want to go custom you could get a LianLi Case and put a good computer cooling system on it.
