i should have you do my first 360.

 

Absolutely. I can do any upgrades, just cover the cost + shipping.


Upgrade (all optional pieces) =

RRoD proofing (if no RRoD symptoms are seen, better the results)
1. Removal of "X Clamps" w. new screw + bolt mountings ($6 for hardware)
1a. Removal of OEM thermal paste, replacement w. Arctic Silver 5 ($0)
1b. GPU reflow (remelting of solder points) ($0)

OEM Hardware Upgrades
2. GPU Heatsink V2 ($10)
3. CPU Heatsink V2 ($10)

Aftermarket Hardware Upgrades
4. Talismoon exhaust fans w. non-optional LEDs ($25)
5. XCM Core Cooler V2 ($35)

Software Upgrades
6. iXtreme 1.61 (12x drive speed) or iXtreme 1.41 (8x drive speed). Some 360 DVD roms can't handle the 12x drive speed, so I'll have to flash with an older, slower firmware.



If all you want is the DVD rom flashing, I can do only that. I strongly suggest the following though: 1, 2, 3.

If keeping the machine cool is on your mind, the combination of 5 & a Nyko Intercooler TS (thermal sensing, externally powered clip on fan) is a must.



After the upgrades are done, I'll send ya instructions on how to properly record a 360 backup on a DVD-R DL disc.

 

Oh, I'll also email your original DVD rom bios & hardware keys back to you. (In the event you ever wanted to try to reflash or return to stock)

Informational ...
The 360 has a chain of hardware signatures. The DVD rom has a unique key that the motherboard is looking for. If you were to take any spare 360 DVD rom from eBay and pop it into your machine, it wouldn't work. They DVD key wouldn't match.

The flashing process includes the extraction of DVD key from the drive, and the rewriting of the key with the custom firmware.

 

Bungie is supplying some broken ass Spartan gear lately ... :shake:

With things like sticks and lasers, it's obvious when you get screwed. I wonder how many times we get f'ed over in SWAT. I'm guessing 2 to 3 times a game.

 

even when i click on that link and then the image, i get the screenshot not found image. but if i click on view high res, i get the actual image. bungie's all messed up these days.

 

 

getting on now
