Well, the story goes, my current 360 and I have had a war of attrition of sorts, and it seems I have lost. After my initial RROD, I did an xclamp replacement mod, added a Talismoon fan, and XCM addon fan, etc. The RROD returned several times, I reapplied the AS5 and tightened everything up, this worked quite well. Sometimes for a few weeks, the last time for a few months. Now it seems to be dead. Also got banned from live in the meantime, but I digress because thats the price I pay for the way I choose to go about my gaming. Anywho, I am still fiddling with it trying to get it to work, but I recently purchased a premodded system that should be here shortly.
I know it was a noob thing to do, and I have modded many a console in my day, but my pc recently died, and I only have access to Macs and saw no way to perform a flash in the near future (don't think my Pitt professors want to see me down in the computer lab flashing my 360 with the computer lab PCs, and since I'm a grad student I don't enjoy the dorm life where I have floor/roommates willing to help me out, my classmates don't even play games and stare at me like I'm retarded when I do PowerPoints on the success of the video game industry).
My question is, should I go ahead and install the fans, and maybe even remove the xclamps on the new system to try and avoid this from happening again? I know nothing is failsafe (I have had 7 systems now, some before I began modding and some after, of all the ones I fixed the one I kept is the only one not going strong to date). Just wondering if you guys have had good/bad experiences with modding pre RROD, an had any suggestions/advice. I don't post here often, but read through the forums alot, and everyone here has helped this modders crusade against emptying his life savings quite a bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated/helpful. Thanks.
