If it's caused by temperature changes affecting the soldering, then it wouldn't have to be at peak temperature to RROD. It's the constant heating and cooling that does enough cumulative damage to cause it to fail.

but I have/had a fan on at all times even when the console was shut down, shouldn´t that have helped avoid what just happened?

 

I don't really know enough about it to say. Obviously, it shouldn't be happening at all.

Out of curiosity, do you know when your Xbox was manufactured or which chip you have?

 

I will get back to you on that I moved the console to his place and I am heading there now. But I can tell you it was bought just a 1-2 months after launch but an exact date i haven´t got.

 

Oh, so it's a very early console. Many of those are just FUBAR'd; just a massive screw up in either design or manufacturing, as MS has admitted. My friend was "blessed" with the RROD recently on his old box, but he got a new Arcade unit and it runs cool as a cucumber.
