    yes its likely to help, is it going straight to 2rl ? that's overheating. You may find that a clamp has come off or the heatsink compound has gone hard and no longer works well

    Knob it off. Dont open it (unless seal already gone).
    If the seal is already gone/ripped, completely remove it with nail varnish remover.

    Send it back to MS saying it's 3RROD intermittent. You've got 3 years from the date on the XBox.

    [SHOWTOGROUPS="80"]There are official MS warranty stickers floating about that you can get...

    2 RROD is overheating. You can fix it with some compound and the XClamp way.

    I wouldnt bother though. Send it back to MS and hopefully get the new 3 RROD Fault free (apparently) Jasper Mobo put in!

    i had the same problem with my release date console opened it up and cleaned the heatsink and fans out worked fine after that but as above you might as well ring ms and get them to repair it for free

    i have a machine here that overheats after 5 mins, replaced clamps and thermal paste as to maltz0rs advice and it seems to be ok now. the paste in my case wasn't dry and hard though, there just didnt seem to be very much and when i opened it the CPU heatsink seemed rather loose so maybe it wasn't touching the chip die hard enough,

    the rrod kit fixed it

    but the person who had it open b4 must have been a right noob cuz there were no pads on the 4 ram chips an virtualy no paste under the heat sinks
