coorva 10 Posted April 26, 2013 nice catch,,picked up a 360 all original,,cords 20gig harddrive,,2006 Xenon,not a scratch on it,very clean,,and when i took apart hardly any dust inside,very well looked after,,MS28 Sammy drive,,0102 rrod code,,so a reflow would have done the trick,,decided to reball it,,all went well,,once i booted the console,, hmmm can you say Jtag,,and as we know those drives are very noisey,,this drive works nice,,just like a brand new liteon,,reads almost instantly,,,so my brain is at it again,,ordered this this is going to be one cool Jtag??,,once its together ill updated the pics,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m0j0j0_j0 1 Posted April 26, 2013 Why would you buy that for a xenon..... Also it is been shown that single heat sinks for cpu/gpu are inefficient and have been known to cause warp-age in the boards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinerWilly 2 Posted April 26, 2013 No need for a dvd drive in a jtaged console. In three of my four jtags i have removed the dvd drives to get bigger heatsinks on the GPU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coorva 10 Posted April 28, 2013 Why would you buy that for a xenon..... Also it is been shown that single heat sinks for cpu/gpu are inefficient and have been known to cause warp-age in the boards. well first of all in my shop i have 15 consoles that are mine,,10 have been reballed and brought back from the dead,,they all range from xenons jaspers and slims,,i have a watercooled slim right now,,as jpizzle here knows once the weekend rolls around i get a few drinks into me go into my shop and play,i made many of fun things when i bored,this BGA machine i got has made my life so much more fun ,and this xenon i have here is a very well looked after console from the last owner,,and as far as the block itself with the equipment i have to complete this project,,i think it will be just fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coorva 10 Posted May 13, 2013 Well dont mind the mess but i had to do a bench test before i put it all back together,,,Freestyle dash 3,,after 5 hours running straight,,the rad fan at 1/4 speed,,the CPU temp 45 degrees and the GPU at 36 degress,,rad fan speed at 3/4,,CPU 32 degrees and GPU 30 degress,,i think with a reball done and the watercool this one going to last for awhile,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
