Forums - Microsoft - Question--Does the Jasper 360 have X-clamps?

halogamer1989 on 22 September 2008

On the mobo, those x-clamps are a serious design flaw by a high MSFT designer with a broke tester in the China facility.  No wonder they had only 65% yields.  So how about it?

This is a far fetched guess, but... I'm thinking the Jasper may very well be a slimline, given current wierd "clear the inventory" trends of the Falcon models, and the rumored "relaunch" that MS has set for the 25th.

I would wager that it is very different from the old design, if that's the case.

Wild speculation on my part. I swear I don't know any secrets or inside infoz. ;)

If they were a design flaw it would have been fixed by now.

Tease.
