Xbox 360 Performance tweak – Thermal Paste Upgrade… From the guy who bought you the towel trick comes a new way to solve the problem of your games freezing up, a not very responsive dashboard and general performance problems after a few hours of gameplay.
I can’t seem to find where to get the akasa heat spreaders for the other chips. I checked on ebay, but they weren’t there.
you want to look for “Akasa VGA RAM Sink”… The model i have is the Akasa AK-VMC01-BK
do i want it to dry or just put it together?
Is it difficult to remove the headsinks?
(Sorry for my bad english)
where did u get the thermal paste?
My console shuts off like after 5 minutes then goes to the two rings. Would applying thermal paste solve this problem?
My xbox got the RROD today. Its only 8 months old . I got a E71 error message and 1 red ring on the bottom right side. Would doing what you did in the video fix my xbox after my warranty is up?? After I downloaded the update today and turned my console off and later back on it did this, why? It seems a little fishy.
you can get good thermal paste (arctic silver) from amazon for very cheap
is there some kind of super expensive 50 dollar thermal paste that will keep my xbox cold no matter how much i stress it out?
i’m willing to spend up to 100 dollars on keeping it working.
Just call the xbox helpdesk before fucking up your system so you cant send it back
too late, i removed the warranty sticker about a month ago.
also, if i spray grey paint over the power button will it look bad? because i never use it anyway. i just use the controller for everything.
Why would you remove the sticker?
i needed to remove the sticker to take the plastic plating off the 360.
im not stupid enough to just set the entire console down and start spraying it like that do you?
I have actually done this because my warranty ran out, due to the poor quality of thermal paste my xbox only lasted a 1-2 months. I am going to dust off my old xbox and maybe try Artic silver 5 or Mx-2 and see if it improves the life of the console.
Yes definetly. But buy some good quality thermal paste like Mx-2. If you buy the cheap thermal grease then you xbox wont last very long.
The best kind of Thermal Paste is AS5 (Arctic Silver 5) and only costs 5 dollars on Newegg, or from your local radioshack.
just to let you guys know… i did this to my xbox and when it finally died out microsoft wont repair it cuz you have tampered with the xbox… so just think about it, wait 1 month to get your xbox back fixed or play with the thermal paste and wait for it to die and not get it fixed at all
thats 10 dollars here
i did this today and believe or not. my shit is actually working now. i still dont get why dont they put the fan against the cpu heatsink and gpu to cool it down. the fan is not cooling it down at all. i cut the fan in half and put it against the heatsink to get it air flow. right.
would this make the xbox perform better??
they dont fix them anymore anyway..
it causes air bubbles
that is too much themal paste u drown the chip
wow! cool video!
Check out my videos for a permanent fix!
