Japanese opens 360 and investigates Overheating issue

In only five minutes since we started playing the game, the temperature of the heat sink on the graphics LSI rose to 70°C. The thermal gradient was about 10°C/min.

In 15 minutes, the microprocessor heat sink temperature stabilized at 58°C, but the heat sink on the graphics LSI rose to 80°C, 57°C above the room temperature.

Assuming room temperature of 35°C in mid-summer, the gap is estimated to reach more than 90°C. In that case, the temperature of chips in the graphics LSI could exceed 100°C.

Jesus Christ... now, that just... sucks.

I have yet to see any GPU on any of the computers I've had go over 90°C.

90?

My Radeon is 17% overclocked (yeah, not that high, but Radeons aren't that great for OCing) and it never even attempts to reach 80°C.
