Urbanoutlaw Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 First off, welcome & enjoy. If you haven't already, take a minute to read the rules & check out the layout of the site. For my X360, I have a shelf cleared off & bottle caps (like 20 oz. Coke or 2-liter) under each corner for airflow. I also added an auxiliary cooling fan added. The AF is a little noisy for the first couple minutes & sometimes it keeps running when I shut the console down. Unplugging the controller usually stops this. The shelf it's on is near an exterior window w/ a fan blowing out. As I understand, X360s made after Sept. 07 are supposed to have the upgrades built in to prevent RROD.

Keep it in the box it came in, never turn it on. Mine was purchased in Sept. '07 and just yesterday went RROD. Less than one year old. Crap, I tell ya. I followed all suggested precautions, kept it cool, etc......crap. Edited May 12, 2008 by hiispy4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muze07 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I keep mine setting on the original box so it has some air flow and I always keep my box fan in my room facing it so it has no reason to overheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletproofboy Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 U bought your xbox Sept 2007, it would have been made before sept 2007. ones after and on sept 07 have upgrades to prevent heat and rrod. Mine was made August 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbanoutlaw Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 RROD IS a technical issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Hsv Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) The best way to prevent the Red Rings Of Death (RROD) is to never purchase a Xbox 360 console in the first place and go for the much better Playstation 3 Edited September 21, 2008 by Matt_Hsv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Er, some people prefer XBOX 360 over a PS3? Also fanboyism is FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
