xbox guts...

2009.01.26
the patented "x-clamps." would be kinda silly if that's how the console got its name, considering you can't see them in the first place unless you tear it apart. photo by turk.

cleaning off the thermal paste from the cpu and gpu. photo by turk.

the grills are the heatsinks for the gpu and cpu, respectively. them things are sharp. photo by turk.

the center of the xbox universe: the cpu. all shiny and clean, now.

and here's ty sleeping funny.

so i tore open the xbox and got into it. replaced the thermal paste and did a little mod to the so called "x-clamps" while turk took pictures the whole while. hopefully this fix will last longer than the towel trick.
