my xbox doesnt have rrod. i wanna do the x clamp fix because i wanna change the stock thermal grease with as5 and not use the x clamps. but ive seen some vids where you gotta overheat your xbox until 2 red lights appear after doing the fix. do i really have to do dat?

As your xbox solder is not broken (its still working), then you can just do the xclamp fix without doing the reflow part.

the reflow part is the overheating process am i correct?

Your xbox, I don't believe, will ever get hot enough to "reflow" itself. Alot of people allow the processor to heat up because they want the board to be warm so that straightening the board back up will not cause so much stress on remaining solder joints that have not come loose or crack or whatever.

Thats correct, no need to overheat as your sodler is already making contact

I've actually done this to about 5 different working consoles. Just make sure you don't cause any damage when removing the xclamps and you'll be fine.

Use the llamma xclamp replacement, but only get the machine screws snug.

For a jasper you might want to upgrade to the 2nd gen gpu heatsink, you can buy these on ebay fairly cheap.

http://cgi.ebay.com/XBOX-360-GPU-Video-C...=item27aefa4812

These two mods should make your console reliable.
