XBOX360 owner clubhouse, come on in ;)

[HookeyStreet]

I know you guys pry dont wanna do it, but I took mine apart and put a fan on the CPU heatsink and changed both heatsink thermal greases. Now the 360 only gets warm instead of burning hot like it did. I have burn marks on the plastic and metal where it got hot.

Good idea m8. MS should have thought about this to start with, bunch of idiots lol

does anybody own colin mcrae: dirt? id just like to know, in the final retail version, do you have a co-driver giving directions (as this is integral to rallying and gives that more reaistic feel) and does that american voice over everything?? cos his voice is really annoying and kinda defeats the 'colin mcrae' theme you know what i mean? shud have just named it dirt..

Yep, you have a co-driver navigating you (English accent if I remember rightly)

Great game btw!

i had an elite, somebody stole it. oh well, i still got the black wireless controller, no use for it however. i swear lojack should be an option for these things.

i think one of the best parts is the co-driver. really helps out navigation once you get the hang of it. DiRT was by far my favorite game, and it was also one of the most fun to play online in terms of racing.

Keep it flat m8, its better for your discs

 

[Taz100420]

Good idea m8. MS should have thought about this to start with, bunch of idiots lol

Plus I found if you have it tilted in the upwards position, the thermal grease runs down off the heatsinks onto the PCB and leaves the sinks near dry. I always run it on the bottom side down now. Plus I have another mod in mind for cooling. Using the side where no HDD is and mount a fan blowing in and try to mount the DVD rom externally so I can cool the video heatsink

 

[spy2520]

i think the worst part about my situation is that i'm in no rush to buy another one. and my 13 months of live gold membership just started. gamertag is spy2520

 

[freaksavior]

just to update my 360 specs,

Modded firmware
and
freaksavior is my gamer tag but i am never signed in because of the hack.

the pics are a bit old there about 6 months old and the only other mods i've done are added a fan like Taz100420 and added as5 to everthing and it makes soo much difference. I took my Nyko intercooler off after i did the mods.

So your save file had become corrupt for some reason

If you continue to get HDD problems, you may want to clear the cache:

Go to the system blade and then select memory.

Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X,X,Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. Once you do this a messsage will appear saying: Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?

Performing this function will also clear any software updates.

yeah thats what i would not understand, how the file messed up? cos i went through the process of switching off/on going back into the game for about an hour cos i didnt wana lose that game, dunno what it was. ive just bought that 360 in may so i hope it was just a hiccup for now..

It may be a one of glitch m8 (fingers crossed) Ive never heard of it happening before and I think the 360 HDD are pretty reliable.....only time will tell If it happens again, you should do the 'clear cache' thing that I told you about

 

[savillm]

i got Forza Motorsport 2 today and im loving it!!!!!!!!!
