New Xclamp hardware should be delivered today. Hopefully, that does the trick. If not, I'll be buying a refurb 360, transferring the drives and re-modding.

 

I did find out that the bass is a little more strenuous to play. the buttons are little larger in size, which means you have to stretch out your hand a little more. that, and the plucking, really makes your forearms sore.

 

I signed on at like 8 to watch a video, I didnt see you on...

 

I replaced the fans with newer, quieter, high flow fans the other night (now my 360 glows blue).

Last night, I did the xclamp mod. It seems to have worked well. I played a few hours of Saints Row 2 without it freezing at all. I found that rubbing alcohol doesn't work that well when cleaning the heatsinks and chips. I used sticker remover, which worked very well. I also used a straight razor to scrap off any excess off the heatsinks.

now THAT I wish I could do - it is a rather noisy little thing...

 

Easy to do, but unless your warranty is voided already it's not worth it

 

yeah

 

I'm pretty sure the DVD drive is what is loud in mine....
