Xbox 360 65nm chipsets: are they RROD-proof?

Posted by admin On September - 6 - 2010

I’ve had a bit of a poke around online in an attempt to ascertain whether the new “Falcon” 65nm GPUs and CPUs, coupled with the improved fans, actually prevent the newer 360s from overheating. Short of placing one on top of another hot piece of equipment, has anyone heard of them going all RROD yet?

I hope not. I have mine standing on its side to improve cooling (since the bottom gets warmest) though, just to be on the safe side.

I haven’t had any issues with mine since I got it, but I have noticed that the A.I. is far more aggressive towards the actual player than what was previously done with the older CPU’s.

The “Falcon” motherboards with the 65nm CPU had a rumoured 10-16% chance of failing.

Don’t mistake the Falcon for the Jasper. The Falcon only has a 65nm CPU but the GPU is the same as the older ones. The Jasper has a 65nm CPU and GPU.

The “Jasper” motherboards that have a 65nm CPU and GPU have probably just shipped out.
