| 1206136 | 2011-06-01 09:24:00 | I have a RROD 360 that I would like to keep cool, I'm getting it reballed since its a bit erratic RE working or not. Anyway, by spending as little as possible, which would be the best way to cool it? The stock fans and heatsinks are craptastic so what would be better alternatives? Talismoon fans are the most common choices when air cooling but what about the heatsinks? leave the stock or replace them? If I replace them (the heatsinks) what should I use? Should I maybe get some water cooling :devil: if so what sort of waterblocks should I get that would fit the 360? Anyway, I should probably find a dedicated 360 forum for this Q haha, sorry if this is a bit out of the scope of most members. Also, where is a good place to get a GPU/CPU chip reballed? Preferably for around $100 in wellington. Cheers |

| 1206138 | 2011-06-02 03:18:00 | you could copy Ben Heck's water cooling system from his xbox laptop: www.engadget.com | icow (15313) | ||
| 1206139 | 2011-06-02 03:25:00 | Warranty long gone, plus I have had it open so much and I think the Jtag kinda leaves it waaay out of M$ hands :D The water cooling is both awesome and filthy :p haha perfect DIY style though. Might give it a go |

| 1206140 | 2011-06-02 07:40:00 | Anyone know about replacing the DVDROM if the original DVDROM has been thrown away without the unique number that identifies it to the motherboard being ascertained in an XBox360. Has anyone got firsthand knowledge? I have already Googled and it may be possible. |

| 1206141 | 2011-06-02 07:53:00 | You mean how to tell what DVD is / was in it? (www.llamma.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1206142 | 2011-06-02 08:06:00 | I think he means how to recover the DVD key. The DVD key can be recovered without the drive being present, what dash version is your console? you could flash xell to it if possible and get the CPU key. With the CPU key you can decrypt the keyvault and get the DVD key from a NAND dump. Without an exploitable dash version idk if you can get the DVD key though. Maybe. but i'm not sure |

| 1206143 | 2011-06-02 09:28:00 | I mean the DVDROM key although the DVDROM now in it may or may not be the same as the original, it plays DVD's but will not play games because of the key problem. Hoping to find an elegant solution to this problem but at the moment the first hold-up is not having IDE to SATA adapter. I don't know what dash version it is or even what that means, this is the first time I have ever held an XBox360 in my hands, someone gave it to me after the problem seemed too big and they bought a slim-line 360 instead. |
