Microsoft to add 2nd HEATSINK to 360's

[LOBO2999]

We all fear the day that the dreaded 3 LoD will show up on our own beloved 360. We all know somebody with a Xbox 360 that suffered the blinking red lights of death. Although Microsoft never officially acknowledged the hardware problems there is clearly a problem with 360s dying. And as of today, it seems Microsoft is secretly working on a fix.

Today Logic Sunrise received a email from their contact close to Microsoft with some spicy new details about a new Xbox 360 cooling setup. Supposedly Microsoft added a secondary heatsink, next to the DVD-drive, that’s connected to the GPU’s heatsink. This way they are sure to spread the heat more and try to prevent the 360’s from overheating and causing the 3 LoD.

This is the best thing they've done since extending the warranty to 1 yr.
