I thought the whole issue with the 360 was traced to putting too much or badly formulated heat transfer paste that went between two circuit boards or something?


That was one rumor. The other was that the PCB/heatsink mount physically warped from the heat causing the chip and heatsink to pull away from the board.

Whichever was the real cause, the new heatsink and conductive pipe that appeared over the summer has allegedly solved many of the problems.

Hmm ... ATi's Xenos vs ATi's Hollywood vs nVidia's RSX. Two of them are reported to fail, one of them does not. Nah ... I won't open that can of worms.


 I took apart my 360 (void the warrenty ) and put some artic silver between the HS and processors.  Haven't had a problem.
