Your xbox may have just got a girlfriend. Give it some congrats and possibly a talk and a little protection and be proud.

Then you don't need a managed switch.
-
Do you plan on doing any vlanning, QoS, or any kind of monitoring and management of the traffic on your lan?
-
I think you should try a different switch.
-
What is interesting is system link doesn't give a damn about dhcp. It doesn't even really operate at layer 3. it operates at layer 2.
-
No. The only difference between a hub and a switch is that a hub broadcasts all frames to every port. A switch only sends frames to the interface that the destination mac address is located on. Thus hubs have collisions once you get more than 2 devices connected to one. Switches do not. For system link networking, it works perfectly fine on a switch that is fully functional.

Nope. It's not too much. It needs to be WAY too much to have any consequence. Momentary surges need to be HUGE to burn traces or burn out the psu. These tiny caps aren't going to do it in the quantity they are in. You're totally fine.

Anybody Here Use a Kernel Debugger With Their Debug Kits?

Anybody Here Use a Kernel Debugger With Their Debug Kits?
OGXbox Admin replied to DobaMuffin's topic in Hardware Mods
I'm doing it as we speak. I was googling certain information and came across your post on the forum I created. lol weird. Back to searching for meaning.... -
Welcome! Very nice.
-
Just because you're not reading the continuity you expect doesn't mean it's a 1.5. 1.5 never existed, although open circuits in all electronics DO exist due to manufacturing defects and age. You just did trace repair on a faulty board. You didn't find a mythical xbox version that never existed.

I Bought an Unused Alpha Tower II Devkit Case
OGXbox Admin replied to anode's topic in Rare and Uncommon Xbox Hardware
I don't have many suggestions, but I have been looking for one for my preservation. If you don't move forward with it, please consider letting me purchase it. -
Also, I have a game server up you can play on if you want. It is "OGXBOX.com - Get Rekt Nerds".

Found Old Avalaunch Team Files Online
OGXbox Admin replied to DobaMuffin's topic in General Xbox Discussion
If you can figure out how to enter that avalaunch subdirectory that we don't have permission to, we might have something. -
There wasn't actually a 1.5. So do you mean it's a 1.4 or a 1.6?

Retrobrite Panzer Dragoon Console
OGXbox Admin replied to DjRicochet1's topic in General Xbox Discussion
It WILL screw up the detail on the top. People have already attempted it on these and then had to attempt to repaint it. You'll have to come up with a brilliant way to mask the paint before applying the retrobrite. -
I think now is a good time to restate all premises because the conclusions will undoubtedly be drawn with video evidence soon. #1 Replacing the stock paste with better paste will yield no significant results IF the stock paste hasn't already failed. It's very brittle and can crack and fail fairly easily. Thus the reasoning behind changing it out. #2 The differences between thermal pastes are minute. The thermal conductivity of these pastes can be known by their w/Mk rating that should be listed somewhere for a given TIM. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut has the highest w/Mk of all TIMs known to me. It is what I will be testing with and I do expect a very slight improvement. #3 Liquid metal would result in a huge improvement in theory but cannot be used because the heatsinks are aluminum and gallium creates an alloy with aluminum that destroys its rigidity and thus renders the heatsink useless.
-
Also, there is no temp sensor in the gpu. That is the MCPX temp.
-
You claim the temps of 2 different components. You're not attempting to compare them to each other are you? That wouldn't make any sense.
-
Where is your testing and data to support that it yields no practical benefits? or are you just talking out of your ass?
-
The Xbox cannot read games in Rar format. They need to be extracted. I don't know about quix. I don't use it.
-
Not a bright comment on your part. Every analogy will have a difference. That's why it's an analogy rather than the exact same thing. Maybe look up what an analogy is. The argument is that repasting is somehow dangerous and shouldn't be done because the negatives outweigh the positives. They actually do not because repasting is not difficult. It's not risky. Replacing the clock cap is literally removing a component from the board. It's risky and not easy for most. So... it disproves the entire argument you're on.
-
I do want to point out though, that literally everyone talks about removing the clock cap as good advice. If you disagree I'd like to see your explanation for this. That COMPLETELY nullifies any argument against changing thermal paste. It's not difficult and not as risky as removing a capacitor.
-
You guys have given me a great topic for another youtube video. THANK YOU!!!
-
Anything that heats and becomes softer then cools and becomes harder will lose its softness over time. Properties change. Also, the material will have a particular thermal transfer property that won't be very high. It might be slightly better than air but not by a whole lot. Compare that with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut with over 12w/mk and you'll understand why it's not "pointless" to change out the thermal paste after nearly 20 years. The cooler you can make a cpu and gpu run, the longer lifespan they will have.
