1.No they are not
2.same as above
3.Based on luck for example my 360 has served me for over a year and i pull overnighters on it to download demo's and stuff.
4.Some intercoolers are known to burn 360's but i dont know.
5.Id say wait for 65nm which will be out soon
And now my question why didn't u just refer to the buyer's guide ??

1. no 65nm chips... but 65nm 360 will launch later
2. it hasn't been launched yet
3. its totally upon your luck
4. depends upon the cooler
5. Drop it

Well u might buy mine it has almost invincible 90nm chip i mean ive been playing it for like since last summer and its working perfectly till now... the only reason i intend to sell it is to buy a newer xbox 360 with HDMI input so that i can get the picture clarity that seems impossible with VGA cables out there... read the post below i m offering a Rs.10000 Discount ..

No idea about the 65nm stuff.

As for the intercooler, DONT GET ONE! it will just help you to get the 3rrod issue. If you still want to get one, then do the 12v mod on it (that is by powering the intercooler with a seprate PSU).

If you want a 65nm one, then best is to wait, if you can't then go get one! .

 

[spiderman]

the intercooler i am talking about has its own powersupply and acts as a vertical stand also

 

[Adnan959]

You mean the "Intec Cooling Station"

Didn't know it was available in Pak.

@adnan 959 yeah something like this it also have place for 4 dvds its i think a copy of this or something like this so is it a good option?

 

[Adnan959]

The one I'm showing you is a very good option, it gives a decent drop in temps. But the downfall to that is you'll have to keep your 360 vertically all the time, the disadvantage ---> higher chances of disks getting scratched and a little more noisier.

holy SHIT! is this true? i keep mine vertical all the time. although i havent noticed any scratches (besides the one i cause myself while try to fit the dvd in the hinges)

 

[Adnan959]

Its true alright, refer to THIS and THIS.

 

[radd]

errr... what a joke! thanks anyway.

ofcourse youll get scratched discs when you move the console!! how can anyone be stupid enough to not realize that. heck, its even mentioned in teh manual!!1

That second one was just an example, the first one is where the guy explains how and why they get scratched. ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlQYkaXv8RU

Personally, I would like it to keep it vertically myself, and we shouldn't be worried about disks, since its all pirated .
