so my 360 got the e74 error last night, and i call m$ and they tell me its gunna cost me 120 to fix, so i do it my self and now it works wonderfully

but the fans seem to be alot louder and run harder, is this the same for any one else?

i was thinking maybe i just diddent put it back right but i just wanted to get others opinions

cpu is working too hard to keep cool. make sure your thermal paste is good and even, not too much, not too little. also make sure your heatsink isnt sideways. tightening the screws might help too.

so i added some thermo paste, a good amount, not too much for it to over flow, but enough to cover the whole thing,

i have only done one of the x clamps, do people normaly do both?

my xbox is work fine, other than the loud fans now lol

ya you could give them a little oil 3 in 1 electric oil but when my first 360 was toasted when i recieved it back i stenciled out the superman sign on case and cut it out didnt put plexiglass left it opened bought core cooler and a set of fans with the led screen that adjusts the fan speeds. this thing never get hotter than 35 -37 degrees celcious and the air out the back is luke warm at best keep it cool is the key to this machine. I made a thundercat case 2that came out nice also sold it on ebay but those are my suggestions.
