Xbox 360 Ram Heatsinks

Well I have purchased from eBay some XBOX360 RAM Heastinks as I described in this post earlier this month about cooling your console.


I just thought I would let you know how to fit them. They are very easy to fit as they come with a peel off backing and once you stick them to the chip, they stick very well.

If you are using the old generation Xbox 360 GPU heatsink, then you should fit them as the below picture shows:


I changed my heatsinks to the new style one's that are used in the Xbox360 Elite consoles. So fit them as bottom picture but be aware that one RAM heatsink you cannot attach to the RAM Chip as the copper pipe from the GPU heatsink is in the way, however you could get a hacksaw to the RAM heat sink and cut it a bit narrower, then just use one half on that last chip.
See why:

I didn't though and just fitted them as below instead and stuck it on the spare chip instead for the hell of it.

Well what's the point when eventually every xbox 360 will RROD, red-ring-of-death (Die and not run games etc.) The sure thing is to sell your XBOX360 or even trade it in for a Xbox360 SLIM, 250GB and 4GB models are available.

I agree, some consoles, especially the older generation are doomed and sometimes defective and unrepairable once the RROD/Overheating occurs.
