Gamerguy, thanks so much for you help i appreciate it ive done your fix with .032 and the compound from radio shack and now after ive done all that since i first turned it on to cook the GPU the fans run really freakin fast and after only a few seconds it shuts the fans off and now the gpu wont heat up. any help would be appreciated. i had trouble finding the .032 but my dad had about half a sheet so i used it. thanks again

Well I just received an Xbox to fix that someone had tried this on.. the sheet of aluminum on top of the GPU and the board was destroyed. Just a word of caution with this if you overtighten the heatsink it can crack the GPU when you add this “heat plate” to the chip. It causes the heatsink to pull down too much in the center and can crack the chip.

@jtman04401 really? i’ve literally done hundreds without this so called issue you had, even after stacking TWO pieces of metal on top of the chip….

@baddoggm19 why do people use rubber washers? they’re too soft and just squish out when tightened on….metal allthe way.

@pauliedapunisher permanent is impossible, but for all intents and purposes it is permanent.
