So, you are using a high-definition AV pack or cable with Red/Green/Blue component video signals and Red/White analog audio connected to your TV? Try the following: Press and hold the Left trigger, right trigger, and both analog stick buttons. The normally displayed 480i dashboard will switch to 480p output while using the Xbox High Definition AV Pack or cable. Repeat the button combo to toggle between the two resolutions: 480i and 480p.

I have tested CPU temps on unopened Xbox's of all versions and not seen any real difference after changing the paste. If anything maybe 1 or 2 degrees cooler and I have tried Arctic Silver 5, Prolimatech PK2,a copper based paste, as well as liquid metal pads. And we are talking about a 733 Mhz CPU not a 3 or 4 Ghz in a similar size package, The biggest drop I got was a new heatsink and that was about 5 deg celsius. it was 4 for silver and 5 for the black paint. Put if you feel better after changing the thermal paste go for it. As for the speaker cable I did blind test with speakers that sold for $10k and a $5 k 2 channel amp and using cheap cable that most people use it sounded excellent to my wooden ears but when the cable was changed to $2k worth for 10 mtrs holly molly the music came alive. Rant Off. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

do you shill for thermal paste companies? Everyone is changing xbox thermal paste left and right, because no one explained this properly without before and after comparison, and everyone is thinking that replacing thermal paste on some machines is worthwhile. It's like talking to audiphile, Oh these power cables does make sound better.

Thanks guys! Now I feel really dumb Imma blame it on the fact it’s a new tv!

The guy above is correct, this will be your tv's doing not the xbox. Take a look in you tvs picture settings under aspect ratio and you'll be golden

have you allready checked the settings of your tv set?
