Okay as some of you know from reading my posts I have now a 60 gig xbox 360 and a 20 gig launch unit. I ordered the killowatt device posted earlier to tell the power draw they both have. I also ordered a temp gun but its not in yet.


Both of these systems are running gears of war for a half an hour before I looked at the power usage.

xbox 360 60 gig


112.4 volt
1.52 amps
101 watts

xbox 360 20 gig

112.4 volt
2.40 amps
160 watts

The new 360 is much cooler to the touch. I will try and hopefully get temp measurements from the systems also. However if i don't get the gun before the 10th I will trade in my 360. $30 coupon at gamestop runs out then.

xbox 360 60 gig

110 volts
1.25 amps
81 watts

xbox 360 20 gig

1.72 Amp
111 watts

I will add the 60 gig in a bit. I have to play the first eps on both before i report. Its interesting to note that while the disc is spining on the dvd it uses 7more watts though."


Tease.

This is how it should have been in the first place. No RRoD

360 now really is GREEN

good for the enviroment



I don't believe the new 360 has incorporated the 65 nm GPU yet so this is still pre-Jasper.

This is great news for the X360! Being a reliable console seems possible now!

dude, that artivle is 2 years old.



How is RROD/noise eliminated?

Also, the drive will only be quite when you've install the whole disc into your HDD, just remember that the drive when active is spinning very fast and the only real way to eliminate the noise generated is to make the drive spin the DVD at a slower RPM.

this is quite old, the Ps3 with the 65nm CELL, smaller Blu-ray drive, smaller motherboard, smaller cooling fan, and no EE/GS (40GB model) should have at least cut the power usage to at least 280w. Once the 45nm CELL and 65nm RSX are installed which means smaller mother board and cooling fan I;d expect it to run at least at 220w.

RROD was caused by heat that made the motherboard bend which broke sodder joints. Now that there will be less heat there wont be any bending or virtualy no bending of the motherboard.
