For every time someone replies on a thread that's trying to convince people that the 360 is RROD free without any direct proof, a 360 somewhere out there gets the RROD.

Tread carefully folks....

 

The proof is in the hardware. The GPU is the source of the rrod,now it doesn`t move from the motherbord,so that`s my proof. Not talking about the hardware or asume something,but disecting the hardware.

And i can`t prove or convince someone that does not want a 360 or hates it.

 

First off, you're just speculating based hardware revisions that the RROD won't ever pop up again. Second, the proof is within reports from retailers and consumer surveys. So no, you do not have any solid proof. Just speculation.

And the GPU was not the only source of the RROD, in fact, it was mainly from the solder. I doubt you know enough about enginnering and electronics to simply say "because they made this smaller, it won't break anymore", so you're not very credible either.

Regarding your last sentence. I own a 360 and do not hate it, but you obviously don't convince me, not unless you give me real proof and an indepth run of the 360's internal hardware and the exact specifics on why RROD happens.

Smaller GPU means less power consumption and LESS heat coming from that chip. Now,with less heat,the motherbord does not bend and the solder is not stressed anymore. The rrod is a long process,when from all that motherboard bending,the solder gives up and rrod appears.

And with the Falcon,a special glue made by ATI (epoxy resin if your care) is applies to the GPU to make sure it DOES NOT stress the solder (this should have been done from the start,but MS wanted to save 50 million $ and from this the RRoD madness). After that,a passive cooler is applyed on the GPU so the heat will be transfered in the area where it will be blown out of the console. With the Jasper model,everything will be cooler.

Any more complaints? Any more hardware details you want to know? Please,don`t be shy.
