  • How do I find how much memory i have on my Jasper 256MB or 512?

  • I have a Falcon, MFR date 2008-08-16

  • mine has a xenon chip inside... :(

  • jasper is a rare chipset. u are lucky if u have xbox360 jasper chipset. ur xbox will last long and has no oveheating. i have one so i consider my self lucky.

  • @jeffbalbon It's not rare you dork. It's standard with all new Xbox 360s. This video was uploaded in 2008, hence why buying a new console didn't ensure you would get a Jasper chipset. Nowadays if you purchase an Arcade console, you will more than likely receive a 360 with it.

  • @jeffbalbon It's not rare, it became standard once they started putting them in the Xbox 360.

  • i have a jasper.... made 9-24 and same thing ... 12V--14.5A or whatever it was

    but, my power port looks like a falcon... why is this?

    oh fuckin gay i do have a falcon

  • i have a jasper.... made 9-24 and same thing ... 12V--14.5A or whatever it was

    but, my power port looks like a falcon... why is this?

  • My name is Jasper :P

  • my xbox was made on 2008-11-13 but the voltage is12v-14.2a-5v still, do you think i can use the new jasper power supply on my xbox360 ??maybe ill lower the performance but that okay, plz reply? mi just thinking about buying the 12v-12.-5v power supply?

  • i have halo 3 edition xbox with 12v - 16.5a 5v-1a HDMI, manu fact date 2007-08-02 So i need to know what motherboard i have so i can jtag how can i find out

  • @TechWareGames You (like me old xbox) have a Xenon the oldest 1st generation.

  • I have a jasper jatagged xbox 360 20gb HDD with one wireless controller, power brick, component cables, XEX menu. I'll sell for £250, pre-installed with a bunch of other stuff let me know if anyone is interested thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • @unrewritable i can buy a premium for 94 pound in gamestation and flash chip it or whatever its called but i dont understand jasper and falcon what does it mean

  • how shit it looks and it can handle all those games

  • your lucky antihero. i got the e80 error that needs a replacement resisitor .sod that i went out and bought an elite with a three year warrenty so all good now

  • Rrod is caused by the xclamp. Its a deliberate move by microsoft so it goes wrong and you have to pay to fix it. Even the new xbox 360 slim has xclamps and costs more to fix

    All it takes is for microsoft to screw the heatsinks to the motherboard and no more red rings

  • @roasty80 I've gotten the RRoD 2 times in the past 6 years now and I didn't have to pay shit for the repair.

  • would i get rrod my couison had his xbox360 foor looong then i took it n it still works no problem lyk my friends whos n his second xbox which turns off somtyms.....the problem is my amps is not either 12.1 or 14 amps but 16.5 a.....am i in the safe zone...what chipset do i have

  • What's so bad about the jasper? I had 1 it lasted for about 2 years then blew up (no joke!) :(

  • @LEMONVirus99 i had had my xbox 360 for 4 years, and now its kinda fucked up, it will last 40 minutes turned on.

  • to summarise this vid ;

    Jasper = look for 12.1 amp near the barcode area on the xbox 360

    Falcon = ur an idiot if u wanna buy this one.

  • I have a hitachi on my pro and I some how already have a jasper on my xbox 360.

  • my jasper elite (and it is a jasper [mfr 14th/nov/09] 12.1amp) doesnt have onboard memory, is tt purely older jaspers or arcades that had it onboard or have i got a 1 of a kind, google found nothing!

  • ppl wo say theyve bought jaspers ...be real careful..cause idiots stores are sellingrandom new 360 claiming they are newer jasper chipsets (ploy to get rid of all the backlog of old 360)...i personally bought mine from ebay brandnew guaranteed jasper model...never looked back since :P

  • does the jasper come with the memory card?

  • built in memory mine came with 512mb built in memory.

  • @SteelCity1981 mine too

  • I agree, this is helpful, but there's no good reason why Microsoft can't get the defect rate down to what it is on the new Slim PS3, or even the Wii. They have the technical expertise to do it; it's just laziness on their part.

    Still, thanks for posting this!

  • this is all good but it hasn't fixed the problem, they still get rrod

  • my 360 has 12V 16,5A:5V 1A is mines doomed to red ring anytime soon?

  • @rickyay26

    There really is no way to predict it. My launch day RROD at around 1 1/2 years. It was replaced by Microsoft by a second, still the old chipset, and it has lasted me since. Right now the DVD drive is starting fail, sadly. Though it has lasted 3 years. Double the life of my launch day.

  • @mattievk I hate being called a fanboy too. Like everyone who prefers a particular console has to be put in some kinda freaking category nowadays. Remember only "TRUE" fanboys call other people fanboys.

  • if u got the Jasper the rrod is more common to appear...

  • @truennthereaper rong its the opposit

    "if u got the Jasper the rrod is less likely to appear

  • @fallenkevinl oh ya i confused

  • i checked my pro (white, silver disc tray) console from this vid and other vids and it is a jasper model so pros can have the jasper chipset but my xboxs MFR date is 07-21-09. so the pros may have been recently upgraded

  • Im planning on going to best buy right now and buying a 360 Elite...will it have the Jasper chip in it?

  • dont buy xbox, they brake so soon, I had one and it broke like 3 days ago, and MS wont fix it. ima buying a PS3

  • But the games on the PS3 aren't very good. Also most of the PS3 games only do 720P, what is up with that? Check out Bayonetta on 360 and PS3, like 2 different games...

  • depends on how long you owned it and if you bought it new or used, there is no reason if its within the warranty period that they would refuse to repair it. there is something your not saying. or your just a SONY fanboy.

  • dude, Ihave my PS3 for a week now, and I love it. Its better on some aspects, and worse on other... the point is I like my PS3 better. Doesnt make me a fanboy, I hate fanboys...

  • Yeah i do to.

    I like my jasper, plus i like L4D2 (which PS3 isnt getting), That is one of the many reasons i bought a 360.

  • But i havent heard of a jasper breaking down yet.

  • Yep all the new XBOX 360's being sold now are Jasper. Jasper consoles have been out since the end of 08.

  • @quantae06 no they aren't, i bought one like a month ago and its not jasper

  • @truennthereaper Well if it has a 150 Watt is definitely a Jasper. But don't let that throw you off, 175 & 203 works on Jasper. To know for certain their is a 12.1 A on the sticker in the back.  Meaning 12.1 Amps power draw. But all 2009 models are supposed to be Jasper. It's 2010, well I guess you got a left over console. I'm sure u probably knowing that now though, seeing as u realized it isn't Jasper. But still.

  • @truennthereaper you were unlucky... me and my cousin bought 2 xbox 360 at diffrent stores and they were both jaspers

  • my xbox must be really bad then cuz its

    12v - 16.5Amp

  • mine too and 7th day it got like 7 diffrent problems

  • lol, i got the same

  • mad just been looking on ngaget, as last night i got the dreaded RROD (old 20gb model without HDMI).was gonna order the super elite from gamestaion but not sure if the jaspers with the 65nm are any more reliable. plus there are rumors of a final model with a super chip with 65nm prosseor and gpu, as one chip. also talk of 45nm versions so am not sure weather to wait, but not sure i can wait to long with MW2 waiting to be raped again.lol

  • i just got a jasper of ebay, 205 brand new

  • whats the best cooling fan for jasper elite?

  • i cant wait for next week i'll be buying myself one! awesomeness jasperness

  • Nowadays there easier to spot since mircosoft is putting them out everywhere I know the the Elites, The bundles and the "White box" are confirmed to be jaspers.

  • Drives were switched to Phillips because Samsung drives were easier to flash.

  • what is the failure percentage so far for Jasper, Sold my 360 for PS3 but now I want a 360 again forPS3 but now i want it again to partner with the PS3

  • plzz SOMEONE HELP !! is this new jasper chipset in every 360 u buy now like(CHRISTMAS time) cause im gonna buy an xbox 360 for 300euros and im wondering will this chip be in it??????

    Please RESPOND!

  • Yes......

  • plzz tell me ANYBODY !! is this new jasper chipset in every 360 u buy now like(CHRISTMAS time) cause im gonna buy an xbox 360 elite wit modern warfare 2 for 249.99 euros and im wondering well dis chip be in it??????

  • It certainly depends on how long the console has been sitting on the shelf for. My local Futureshop is still selling the Xbox 360 Pros that were discontinued months ago. But since the MW2 console is fairly new, it could have it.

  • I believe so peanut but you gotta look at the MFR date (Manufactoring date) If its around year 2009 theres a high chance you might have a falcon or jasper.

  • i think yeah because the jasper chip came out on late 2008 and by now every xbox has it.

  • My xbox got the RROD last summer. I was standing in the store about to decide weather I wanted the PS3 or Xbox and I chose Xbox Elite because all my friends had an xbox and I found the games to be fun. PS3 hands down is relyable, great graphics and cost effective to say the least. Long story short, once everyone I know gets a PS3, ill get one.

  • on the back it says 12V-----14,2A is that a jasper?

  • no, a jasper will say 12.1A

  • i got the "Jasper chipset' i dunno whats so special about it, i only know the overheating ratio has gone down from 38% to 7%

  • Thats whats special about teh jasper chipset, it reduces the chance of having a RROD. RROD is mostly caused by overheating from the GPU unit and somehow messes it up. I went thro 2 xboxes already because I got the RROD. Enjoy your xbox to the fullest lolz!

  • Damn, I got the Falcon chipset.

    Well, have not had any trouble yet.

  • I baught a PS3 a year after its release and I got the yellow light thing after 3 weeks. So I replaced it. my xbox 360 which I got the christmas fallowing the release never gave the red ring after 4 years (I stupidly placed the xbox over a heat vent). So now I only own a PS3 and I miss my xbox.

  • @ZeroG004  your dumb

  • no,you dumb.

  • I used have the 360 before and I had the RROD three times. When they shipped it back, I traded in for a PS3. I miss my 360 and getting it back on tax time, but I still keeping mine PS3.

  • So if I get a Jasper Xbox, I can use my old Falcon power brick... But I cannot use a Jasper power brick with a Falcon Xbox... Did I hear the correctly??? Just makin' sure...

  • Correct.You can use ANY power brick on a Jasper, just not the other way around.

  • the jassper gets the one ring of death i have one just let it cool down my uncle works for microsoft and he says there puting new fans in them by june of next year and new hardware

  • 80 core processer is fucking impossable

  • there is a arcade system with memory onboard arcade is the jasper in 360 pls answer

    i would do so but i cant

  • does this keep it from overheating?

  • will the power unit work with falcon

  • yes jasper is rrod FREE!!!

  • the reason y the 360 gets rrod its becuse its ass is better then the ps3.360 better gpu,cpu so its xtrem the ps3 sucks and it dosnt hav 7 cores that impossable the only cpu that has colse to 7 cores is amd=) and y did sony help microsoft for the 360 there enemys

  • well how come intel has an 80 core processor?

  • MY elite is 99% probably this type but must make sure :P

  • SEXYY IN MY BOXERS.

  • mine too!

  • i just discovered my newly made elite i bought has jaspa!!!!!

  • is this for the elite yet?  :)

  • yes

  • wait, how do i tell if its a jasper? please respond

  • 360 jasper failure rate 54.2%

    360 falcon failure rate 78.9%

    360 xenon failure rate 92.8%

    others failure rate 97.1%

  • Mine just broke for the second time. Such a poorly made console

  • did you take care of it. Was it dusty. was theri enough ventilation. most importatntly was it a jasper. If it is cprove it manufature date wattes and amps

  • jasper fail rate for rrod 0%

  • is that good or bad? sorry

  • I stooped my console war both are good. I like the 360 because I will not get the rrod because of the awsome jasper. The people that do get it well bad luck. Peace dude enjoy games. Your failure rates are inaccurate so I wont even reply but they are totally wrong. Those are for 2007, for 2008 20 jasper 10 to 12. Peace dude.

  • jasper fail rate 0% no confirmed rrods from jasper consoles

  • failure rate 0%? u must be the most idiotric person ive ever seen in my life

  • since jasper came out microsoft hasent had to fix any japer xboxs falcons are still around tho

  • im confuse, why my friends jasper DIED?

  • Lol, you fail and naming failure rates.

    Square trade has reported that less than 4% of the Jasper models break.

    The Falcon models break 16% of the time, and the Xenon breaks 30-33% of the time.

  • jasper rrod 4% lolllllllllll

  • You obviously never research do you?

    Just google it. Square trade, the most accurate source for failure reports, stated that over a year only 4% of the jasper sold had failed. Very little of them being RROD problems.

    Why? Because the core of the RROD problem had been the chips being damaged by excessive heat. Well now the jasper units are lot cooler and have better heatsinks, along with smaller and durable chipsets (both CPU and GPU) .

  • jasper model

    rrod 8%

    error 74 16%

    disc error 30%

  • Link please?

  • 125w read out on my power adaptor.. what does that mean?

  • it means u have the falcon chip

  • if ur gunna get a new xbox wait for the valhalla it will probly have like under 8% fail rate

  • I got jasper I might upgrade it but I like my jasper it is cool and quiet

  • i believe i own a jasper xbox 360 pro (the power on the back of the console,the power brick output)..but it still makes noises which are really annoying..BTW,it is my first Xbox 360...

  • fuycken shiiiit i got the worst one whhhhhhhhhy no wonder my xbox broke i LITERALLY placed it in the wide open to the point of where it would be able to breathe from 360* all around and 1 year and 3 months goes by and i get the RROD. Does anyone know if microsoft will replace my xbox 360 halo 3 edition with another newer model because the one that i had gets loud and hooooot. i dont like that u know, so yeah let me know anyone please....thanks a lot=)

  • o fuck yes bitchs i got the jasper chipset hell yeah

  • My Falcon ran straight for 2 solid years but died yesterday. Would be sweet if I got Jasper in return :)

  • great video, will buy the jasper

  • thanks man for the info, i have a falcon now i think i might the jasper elite.

  • Don't buy 360s from Amazon guys. Those bastards will sell you the old models.

  • my Zephyr lasted 14 months. i took very very good care of it - i always played with it under the ceiling fan or the AC, never for more than 2 hrs at a stretch, gave it regular breaks and kept it clean, kept the brick on a non-static cloth, put the console on an elevated platform with at least 2 ft space in every direction, used the controller to turn it on/open/close tray - EVERY measure possible, and it still died. have to get a new one now that won't die in the tropical heat of my country

  • Thank God!

    I buyed an Elite and see that my elite has 12V 12,1A. That´s good to know that i have a jasper.

    Thanks for the info. :O

  • xbox 360 hardware just cannot compare to ps3's

  • i have a xbox 360 pro from christmas 2008 does it have the chip set because im scared of the 3 rings

    p.s i only play for about 3-6 hours a day is that bad

  • maybe i dunno.....

    3-6 hours??? you need to get a job unless your a kid

  • dude you got 3 yeras warranty thats a lot!

  • mine says 12V---16,5A;5V---1A, wat is it? i think its a xenon/zephyr cuz my heavy power brick says output = 203W 12V---16.5A(16,5A)5Vsb---1A

  • Probably Zephyr, I have the same stats.

    I guess we need to be more careful with the ventilation of our 360's if we don't want 'em to break after a week... Damn I wish I could've gotten a Jasper after my last RROD.

  • yea, mine jus overheats after like in five mintues

  • My friend you got a Zephyr

  • ah yea it sucks,

  • I have my Zephyr for 18 months and no issues up until now

  • lucky you, i'm in the texas heat lol, i had mine for that long

  • what does the jasper chip do and what does the falcon chip do , i have the xbox 360 arcade 2009 wich one do i have??

  • you most likely have the jasper chipset.

  • fuck all that bullshit....just dont play your xbox 360 alot ive been having mine for a year no problem

  • I play my jasper 8 hours satys cool

  • Thanks for the info man!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • nope, myns a jasper n it sex 12v - 12a

  • it a old xbox new jasper are 12.1a any higther it not ass good and could get red ring

  • barely red rings

  • ... The last time a upgrade my PC was in 2004 and runs like a charm for what i really need it. if i hadn't bougth a 360 i'll prbably would had spent nearly $3000usd to have played all the games i played in my 360. So call me fanboy, buy a fanboy of my HARD EARNED MONEY, and in Colombia it at least 5 times harder to raise money than it is the US.

  • thanks, very helpful...

    To the fanboys of any console...

    How about PC ?

    It has too many buttons?

    Buy a game pad.

  • nah man, had computers all my life (since 1986 - Commodore and Atari Infesa) and spending 500USD a year to have a "barely" updated PC for decent gaming was a pain in the ass, one day like year and a half ago i decided to get an xbox 360 and for 300 USD here in Colombia and that was one of the best choices i made in my life, last week my Pro had the e74 error and tomorow i'm buying this falcon for 200 USD and plug my HDD, controls and cooler and start gaming again...

  • AMD Phenom X4 quad core processor @ 2.4GHz ea.

    8GB DDR2 SDRAM

    ATI Radeon HD 4650 GPU - 1GB memory

    1TB HDD

    + Vista Service pack One.... I'll be upgrading to windows 7 soon.

  • that one is similar to my brother's, but he has a Pentium Quad Core

  • more expensive than consoles...

  • the limitations are endless... you can play so many games, and its not even limted to PC games, all kinds of emulators, ps1, ps2,gamecube, and all the classic consoles, and dont forget MAME.

    plus, you wont even have to mod your console to play pirated games, you can just download and play on pc.. to play isos on ps2 you need to mod it, endangering your system.

  • I'm good.

  • iv had 3 xboxes, in the last few years. and they all have broke, rrod, freezing, etc.... i gave them all the x-clamp fix. and they still freeze-up. i absolutly hate ps3.... so im guess im gonna give the jasper a try. ( gonna put a talismoon whisper cooling fan on the back, and 2 XMC core coolers inside).

    P.S. the falcon xboxes had a Philips & BenQ drive (its philips sister company)

    P.P.S.....fuck u bill gates, your overheating shitboxes are costing me alot of money

  • the jasper no need of fans trust me

  • Thanks man, this has been helpful! Cheers!

  • Fck PS3

  • GET A LIFE

  • my xbox has 12V and 16.6 amps

  • Unfortunately this is the chipset that is most prone to RROD. The new jasper is 12V and 12.1a which means it uses less energy and runs a lot cooler. As of right now you'll find them mostly on the Arcades, sparingly on the Pros and RARELY on the elites. So save yourself the money and buy the arcade and the HDD separately.

  • but i have never had RRoD and ive had my xbox for 3 years weird

  • hey does the 60G xbox, that just came out, have the jasper chip?

  • yeah it also doesnt overheat as easy i heard

  • ive had 4 fucking 360s peaice of shit die on me ,, im buy anther one next month whats my chance on getting a jasper that will live with me for more then 2 years

  • your best shot at a jasper is an arcade, you can spot one by looking at the wattage, it will say 12.1A

  • which arcade comes with jasper the arcade with the sonic game or the other one reply plz

  • both

  • the sonic one

  • pls reply fast. i gona buy ne so basically if it has internal memory it is jasper

  • Is it confirmed for the Pro or Elites yet?

  • yea

  • I got the E74 error and didn't check the crest before a new mother board was put in.I checked today and It says 12v----16.5A

    Don't know if microsoft change the crest if a new chip has been put in, but what is a 12v------16.5A console called??

  • It's called the Zephyr chip, which was put into the XBOX PRO's at July 2007, those chips were used by the Elites when they came out.

    Zephyr<Falcon<Jasper

    That's the way it's hittin!

  • I sent my xbox 360 Elite back in december or January and even though i still have my old 175 volt power brick i am almost 100% positive it has the jasper chipset in it... is this possible that xbox just gave me a NEW xbox?

  • have any Game of the Year Elites been spotted with the Jasper?

  • no, the game of the year bundle is limited edition

    they are all old models

    once they have gotten rid of all of the old models then they will stop doing the GOTY bundle and maybe they might put jasper on all of the xbox's after they got rid of all of the old models

  • does the elite have the jasper chip

    whats better to buy a elite or a pro

  • okay if ur lokin at the elite game of the year bundle then DONT get it bcuz it has the falcon not the jasper bcuz they boxed up the old elite and not the new ones and to make sure u have the jasper look at the ac adaptor if it says 150W then its the jasper ifit says 175W its the falcon soo bascily the arcade is the best but the badf thing is u have to but a HD witch sucks but atleast it has the jasper in it so again DONT

  • if you have a hd from your broken RROD console, use that, then you basically save money because the only thing you dont get with an arcade is a hdd, and all your accesories from your broken console will still work. so....

  • Ya but there is no HDMI output on the Arcade Version

  • ya there is

  • ur an idiot all xbox 360 have hdmi slot for the hdmi output idot even the arcade  get nthe facts be4 u coment fasle bs

  • Chill, I didn't know the newer models had it because at first the "core" model didn't. No need to get so defensive.

  • i wasnt being serious dude thats just how i talk somtimes my sorry if i affended u homi
