If anyone knows how to cure the XBOX overheating issue please reply. Shipping was fast. Product worked well, however did not help my project much. Thanks. Still having heat problems.
Added artic silver 5 to my coolermaster v8 and it dropped my temps 21 degrees at idle and 19 degrees at load. Dude, pair this stuff with the perfect heatsink and your all good.
And WOW, my peak temperature dropped from 50 degrees to 45 degrees, tops. I then planned of buying a stronger processor to upgrade my laptop so I bought this arctic silver 5 3.5grams compound. So i would say, this pretty much made my laptop 10% cooler than my stock original thermal compound. I am a very heavy gamer, I literally DONT turn off my machine 24/7. The graphics card is engaged 100% of the time as well, running my computer at 95% to 100% cpu utilization all the time. My computer used to run 49 degrees to 50 degrees with the 'stock' thermal compound. usually stays at 44 degrees. Needless to say, the fan doesnt run as much as it does before.
The reason is, my game runs 24/7, selling stuff / leveling and stuff. Turns out day after that the processor i'm trying to buy got sold out, in short i didnt replace my processor. Totally worth the money. Just so i'm so bored and I told myself its useless that I bought this, i disassembled my laptop Gateway P-7805u and replaced the original thermal compound with this AS5.
I have been using it ever since. He used it in all of his gaming rigs. Much easier to spread with a single edged razor blade before incerting on the mobo. That's the secret. A hobby builder recommended Arctic Silver to me a number of years ago. It's the best heat transfer coupound that I have found. Bill L Make sure that you only use a portion the size of a grain of rice.
This stuff is superior to what they used a Microsoft- Just take your time fizing your xbox 360 and be careful. pricey, but there's no other option.
