The funny thing with RRoD is it's actually the design of the wind tunnel. Where the DVD drive comes over GPU it means the wind tunnel on that side is thin. The GPU generally runs alot hotter because of this. And as it's next door to the CPU it heats the solders round the CPU to. Next time you play your 360 after about half an hour put your hand at the back of the console the fan closest to the Power input will be displacing hotter air and more of it. Thats from the CPU. The other you will notice has less heat, this is because it cant drag out as much form the GPU due to the wind tunnel design. Which is why I'm Modding a 360 instead of buying new. I can guarantee no RRoD and monitor the Temp of both CPU and GPU. :)
