Microsoft, please fix the quality.

He he :)

I dont know ...my thoughts on the PS3 are about the same as the 360 in the video but if he had put a Wii there..Now that would have been more of a impressive threat.

Sort of reminds me of Austin Powers instead of mini mi we have mini Wii ;)

[ASSEMbler]

The thing is everyone loves / has a wii.

Sort of not even at issue. We all have one.

In the "contentious ownership" category there's pretty much just the ps3.

You are right... looking at it from another angle you can say Wii is superior to both and as such a Wii replacement is a given.

But dont get me wrong I liked your video. in one way it is funny in a masochistic kind of way, to your pocket book, and gives a clear message on what you want.

On overheating seems they have 2 issues on their boards one is in soldering the cpu second is the long screw that goes through the fan shroud. i found if you torque it just a little to much your 360 will overheat because it bends the shroud.

I think it's just poor design. Water cooled or modded the systems are rock solid.

Man.. i know water cool works good but something about water and electricity always makes my hair stand up..

[ASSEMbler]

I hear that, I don't really want to void my warranty.

If I didn't care, I could try to get two scythe ninjas on it
with some scythe 120mm fans.

I have a prescott pc and it's about 40 degrees at load with that setup.

The best thing about scythe products: whisper quiet.

But the noise issue I have with my 360 is or was the optical
drive. It was so loud. I had to turn my TV UP to cover the noise.

[Barc0de]

shiny=beautiful. beat the shit out of the non-functioning.

that said, my 360 is louder than my PC and it's not a launch system. Very amateur for a console releaser to release such a noisy product but there u go, i have no funds to replace it.

[ASSEMbler]

360 is on permanent "rental" now. Meaning every 30 days it goes back to the store and I buy another one elsewhere, repeat. At least until the hdmi one comes out.

I'm on #2, but that is only because I sold my launch 360 to a friend so he could have one. Maybe I am just lucky, but I have never had a system break on me yet.

[PhreQuencYViii]

I've been lucky too, but the thing is damn loud and hot. Now watch it die now that it's getting hotter and humid...

[APE]

Gee, the use of that intercooler sure didn't improve his situation.

[HHogan]

It's funny, most 360s I hear about that die, have an Intercooler installed.

Those things kill 360s I tell ya.

[Pikkon]

My retail 360 has been running just fine,pretty quite I must say.My 360 dev kit is very loud but thats another story.

I hear that, I don't really want to void my warranty.

watching your video I think you've already done that :lol:

[ASSEMbler]

Well I am not mailing a copy of it with the unit, am I now. :-)

As to the intercooler, it actually stopped all the disc read errors.

Personally I think it's just ms smokescreen trying to distract people from
the build quality. People who mod 360's add all kinds of power draw
from places inside the unit and it doesn't do shit.

Don't believe the hype. 3x.10 amp fans = 3.6 watts.

[mooseblaster]

I had the opposite problem - ring of death solved by taking the damn Intercooler off. Those things are evil.

You may as well wait until the new 360 comes out in a few months, the one with HDMI, though I hear that they've already replaced those noisy DVD drives with a quieter model beginning last November.

[mairsil]

With the Intercoolers, it is just poor thermodynamics causing problems. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't the Intercoolers fit over a fan inside the 360? You should never feed air through two sets of fans like that. If they aren't going exactly the same speed, you are going to create a pressure offset and have less air flow than if you just had the internal fan.
