I haven’t read all of the post but there was one saying Xbox 360 overheating is a myth? That’s not entirely true. The red ring of death in most Xbox 360s is just the cpu getting too hot. The newer models after the elite I believe Microsoft had made the issue a little better so that red ring wouldn’t come on as easily. I had one of the first gen Xbox 360 and the elite Xbox 360; both of which had that red ring. They had put the heat sink directly on the cpu which was getting really hot and making the cpu hot. I had to take apart and put some nuts between the heat sink and cpu to raise it up some so the heat wouldn’t be sitting directly on cpu. Also cleaned off the thermal paste and replaced with a thermal pad. This fixed both Xbox 360. The way they had their cpu set up it wasn’t getting enough air for the heat sink to be sitting directly on the cpu. Maybe if there was a good fan right above it then that would’ve been a different story. As far as OG Xbox having a cement like paste I have no idea about that. I’ve only taken one apart far enough to clean the laser eye. So for anybody out there with red ring Xbox 360s try doing what I said with the cpu and 95% of the time that’s what caused it.
