  • your lucky if you have xbox jasper. non over heating motherboard and chipset

  • 45 nm combi gpu and cpu thermal power will be roughly 35 to 40 watts. overhaeting would be less than 0.01%

  • jaspers are now 2% faliure rate . and most of them are disc drive errors valhalla will cure rrod and overheating problems, if MS go with the 45 nm combined gpu/cpu . that would mean over power usage of about 85 watts compared with the 180+ watts need for the 2006 models. in therory the power brick will be much smaller and be 110 to 125 watts .

  • ok so i goot a new xbox 360 about a year ago i did an unboxing video right and everyone says its not a jasper but i took mine apert and the ram chipe at the bottom where not there like in the pic in your vid so is it a jasper..??

  • LOL

    Anyone remember the "Good Ol days" when a console would come out and through it's entire "lifecycle" it would only have 2 versions of it, or heck, sometimes just 1!"

    A lot of those ones are STILL working properly too......

    Sometimes I miss my old Genesis/NES!

  • hell yes i have a jasper,

  • Are you really going to believe some article of a magazine? Do you realize how insane 50% is? The launch models' 33% failure rate was already hard enough to believe.

    These are the ACTAUL failure rates by a credible source (Square trade)

    Launch models- 33%

    Falcon- 16.4%

    Jasper- 4%

    Almost none of the 4% of the jaspers that did die were from RROD, mostly disc read and E74 errors.

  • Microsoft has never officially released a failure rate for any of the models. Concluding that all "failure rates" are speculation. However based on lump sums of speculation rates from many sources, (discounting the outrageous, non conclusive percentages) indicates average percentages of:

    Xenon: 23% to 42.3%

    Falcon: 10% to 24.5%

    Jasper: 2% to 8.95%

  • arcade has the best chip set but not the other models but y?

  • Yes you caught me I am full of shit. I was just pointing out that PS3 had problems too when it first started out but, the difference is that the console was like 400-500 dollars at the time...

  • Jasper 16% FAilure rate

    PS3 8 % FAilure rate

    PS3's costing upwards of 400-500 dollars while 360's were 300. Priceless.

  • u mean 299?

  • dude jasper is a 3-4% failure rate

  • Falcon 16%

    Jasper 4%

    Just head over to Square Trade

  • i thought the falcon kicked ass, now theres a new chip? **** my life

  • u r so luky

  • are u from cave island or sometime like that? anyway enjoy ur RROD

  • jasper 54.2% failure rate

    others 92.9% failure rate

    sorry but i dont waste my money in that usless piece of shit

  • lol where the f*ck do you get your percentages? Nice source link.

  • @tecato666 your life 100% failure rate

  • @JojoSimz pantie

  • 100% Falcon, older versions cant run on 175w.

  • i bought ione today and it says 12v---12, 1A;5V---1a

    and MFR date - 03-21-2009

    so is it JASPER? :(

  • yes

  • 100% Jasper.

  • dude i just order mine today fom DELL. so ur telling me its not gonna be JASPER? :(

  • LOL NOPE!

  • depends if they had a stock of them, or if you bought a package deal, most package deals are scams to get rid of older models.

  • nah it wasnt a PACKAGE DEAL!! it just came with one controller and head phone and hdmi wire + silver card!!

  • is this true what you say

  • does the xbox 360 jasper chip work

  • i just baught a xbox 360 so why the hell is it a falconn!

  • how can u tell. im bouts to buy an xbox. how do u know what chipset it is.

  • because of of youtube videos and the date it was made but dude if its a falcon chipet lik mine dont worry because the falcons are not as loud as the jaspers and the falcons are faster

  • On the back of the box there's should be a peep hole and the power should read : 12.1A

  • did you check the date? if it's 2008 then i'm sorry that why it was a falcon. It's not like you can go buy any 360 now and it's a new set, they still have to sell out the older ones. That's why you have to look for new clues.

  • why dont they put the new jasper in the premium xbox, they would make more money, because now people are just using there broken premium consoles harddrive on the arcade versions... so then you get a premium console for £120 instead of £160

  • i got an arcade & its a jasper

    what exactly does it mean to have a jasper?

  • its a better motherboard and has less heat producing components

  • very low failure rate

  • Also the Jasper has a built in Memory Unit

  • It's a actually 45nm CPU and GPU with an unified architecture.

    Also expect a major price drop ;)

  • The new Valhalla chipsets are expected to release Q4 2009 or early 2010. It will feature a unified 65nm CPU and GPU.

  • Where did you get the new info about Valhalla chipsets?

    I wonder how far MS will go to make the console use less power lol

  • I will send it to you in a pm.

  • just look up valhalla for xbox 360 on google, it's a 45nm processor with combined GPU and CPu which runs far much cooler then jaspar plus less room to take up in the console and less power cunsumption i wonrt be surprised itf it goes below 125W

  • im so fuckin confused, which x-box chip do i want, and how do i know i'm getting it, i want to buy my first 360 and i dont want it to break in like 2 fuckin days like the shitty 360s they've been makin for like 4 years

  • im in the exact same position aswell! i feel for u!!!!!!

  • I found out .the re5 360 come w/ jasper chip, the black elite w/ halo3 and fable 2 has a jasper chip, and any x-box from this holiday season as well, yes even arcade units

  • wat do u mean by 'holiday season'? like christmas? or easter?

  • this last christmas

  • I've managed to get my hands on a Jasper Premium 360; it's not really quieter than previous models but it is a LOT cooler (as well as the power brick).

  • put a dirty wet pantie in ur xbox 360,n finally ur 360 is running %60 cooler

  • Jaspers are already out since Q4 2008 idiot.

  • what is the use of have a large hard drive on a xbox 360 when i cant even store movie and photo on it and i dont need microsoft crap on my hard drive microsoft sucks dick big time wish i should off bough me a ps3.

  • By the way its 80nm GPU and 65nm CPU

  • throw your computer away if you're using windows pc then

  • can v use harddrive in arcade

  • is a lie, because dont have a hard drive use less energy, the gpu a cpu in a single chipset is ludacrist, just play more that 6 hour a day and you will see.

  • also, the amount of power consumption that the 360 uses has been greatly reduced,

  • The Jasper has more changes than that, it has a larger heat sink and GPU was shrunk to 65nm. A seperate heat pipe from the heatsink was added aswell. Also it uses less power than the Falcon, and produces less heat.

  • this guy is right... but thy also added an extra heat sync so the 60gb models are much more reliable, and the new 60gb's only have a failure rate of like, 2% compared to 30% with the 20gb model.

    the other good news is if your 20gb 360 gets he RROD, instead of repairing it, microsoft just sends you a new 60gb model without the hardrive.

    Microsoft is doing this to help eliminate the problem instead of giving you a refurbished or used console to replace it

    and an ERROR CODE is not the RROD

  • can you back that with a source??

  • internet. some guy took a 60gig apart, took some picks and described the differences.

  • yes i figured but do you have any references? any link or pics so forth. i'd like to read it.

  • NOTE - To Anyone Who Belives That The 60GB Xbox 360 Has Changed Your Wrong!, Nothing Has Changed, All They Did Was Put On A 60GB Hardrive And Relocated (I Think) The Ram. So They Only Changed The Hardrive N Relocated The Ram

  • you forgot to mention the new 65nm cpu than the previous 90nm you dumb fuck.

  • nice however another problem is the 360 has the fans on the wrong side and the heatsinks are wrongly placed half the time anyway. D:

    if i get a 360 ima mod it with a cool fan x3

  • Is it possible for the Xbox 360 to have a Unified CPU and GPU?

  • hahahaha, i don't think you know how the architectures of the CPU and the GPU technology work.

  • i bought an xbox 360 arcade jasper without hard drive and i put a 120gh hard drive of my old xbox

  • I bought an xbox360 60gb premium yesterday and the date of mfr is 10/16/08 and it's a zephyr wtf

  • what makes you think its a zephyr?

  • 16,5 power rating and 203w power brick?

  • Whats the Falcon and Jasper chip??? I've heard about them, yet i don't know what they are.

  • Jasper = New chip with new motherboard and it saves data onto the console without a harddrive (doesn't hold much memory though) and it cost less heat.

  • u forgot to mention that the the "New" 360 model also comes with a hdmi port.

  • 360s have been coming with HDMI ports since 2007 (zephyr motherboards).

  • not on the standard xbox 360 the only 360 with a hdmi port before the 60 gb model come, was the elite..

  • can someone tell me how long jaspers are out?

  • hey guys do i have a jasper?

    on the back it says 12v---12,1A

    MFR date is 2008-12-07(im not sure if it is the way americans put the date, or australian)

    lot no. 0849X

    it is the pro one 60GB

    reply please, thanks in advance!

  • Jasper: 12.1A = Jasper.

  • my xbox 360 is dead

  • i got min on christmas is mine jasper?

  • When was your xbox 360 made, check the back of your 360.

  • When 360 came out it was 33% that your xbox is going to get RROD.Because of the jaspers' it down to 16% Still more then double wii or ps3 but a lot more reliable. And you get the THREE YEAR WARRANTY to! I think for people who don't have jasper yet, if you get RROD and send it to microsoft for repairs, they may update it. Its not clear yet but i think so. It would only make sense. Im still going to wait until Vallaha. Those chips are going to be the best yet. Better then Jasper but come out latr

  • I think the Jasper is out in the 60GB consoles. I just recently got one, manufactured December 1st, and the current rating was labeled as 12,1A, the best indicator of a Jasper.

  • i just bought a 60gb xbox 360 and it dosnt overheat at all!

  • I fucking hate updates! its like (Ow yea i bought xbox 360 today and i got the latest one the falcon chip and when you wake up on the next day you will search to your computer and you will see there's a new update!!! fuck it! what's this exploiting people to get new and better one with better quality NOT! well let's see after couple of weeks there's gonna be a new rumor about jasper chip having a RROD! and of course microsoft will goin to release a new update again fucking shit!

  • If you haven't noticed, pretty much everything in the world gets updated. Who said Jasper wont rrod? it still has a 2% chance. Microsoft will be releasing a even newer one later.

  • 2% is pretty slim but the main fault with the x360 is the case not the hardware the case is too cramped its like they designed the case before their hardware but if they made the case a bit bigger so the gpu wasent suffocated by the dvd drive their would of never been a risk of the rrod to begin with

  • yah, they shouldnt have made the 360 concave on the two sides, it corrupts he airflo allot.

  • lol i got mine on the 27th

  • ihas any1 seen them in elites. i saw an elite with 12.1A and relase date of october 29 does that mean it has it

  • If you got a in october then it should be jasper!

  • well in October some store still sell Falcon

  • how do u know if ur xbox has jasper or falcon ?

  • Check the current rating on the back of the xbox just to the left of the barcode and serial number. If the 12V marking is followed by "12,1A" it is a Jasper.

  • thanks 4 da heads up

  • how can you tell which board you have, I just got a 360 and it was made 2nd august 2008

  • I got My Xbox 360 Arcade Thursday and I got the Jasper

  • I just got one yesterday and it came with the Falcon chip.

  • i got mine on black friday too but no jasper. Falcon only. 60gb model.

  • 3 years after launch and still bugged and flawed... bring back the 2001 Xbox please.... who needs ex-PS2-owners jump-in bitch

  • i got my xbox pro 60 gb for $429

  • hows is it 429$ for your pro?

    the pro cost 299.99

  • i want to see a comparison of the failure rates of Zephyr Vs Falcon VS the new Jasper motherboard revisions.

    p.s the 60GB models currently are all falcon (new 65nm CPU, same 90nm GPU)

  • The 60GB models are an Updated version of the Falcon. 65nm CPU plus four memory chips were moved, to allow better airflow. Currently, there is some 60GB with the Jasper motherboard.

  • but most likely rare. i heard that the arcades already are most likely jaspers, because most arcades selling already have 256mb built in. but who knows, i have a falcon and its still fine :)

  • Ya I got the Xbox elite for 399..:D

  • why didnt microsoft just put jaspers since day one of launch ? -_- dumb microsoft

  • because they´re idiots!!!!!

  • Ya I agree they are retarted but I dont think they had the jasper chip ready at launch which is why they should have been smart like sony and delayed the launch to make repairs.

  • Idk, they kind of had to drop the 360 as early as possible. Otherwise Sony might have beaten em hands down off of hype alone if they dropped around the same time.

    Also, I think that's partially why it was so expensive in the beginning because, besides it being a new system, they probably new it wouldn't be extremely reliable.

  • Why don't you ask Microsoft instead of random people on youtube? :P Now that's dumb.

  • The first Jasper models have a lot number of 0843, so if yours is equal to or higher than that number, there is a stong chance that it contains a Jasper

  • Check my new video, Jaspers are in stores right now. Details on how to find.

  • wait so u saying this xbox 360 60 gb jasper have no chance of getting rrod ?

  • It drops the chances of getting RROD to 2%, which is the normal rate for any electronic device.

  • where did you here the failure rate was 2%? if thats true ill eat my hat

  • are u sure its 2%? that still sounds really high, you mean 2 out a hundred electronic devices are meant to fail? errr, i dont think so dude, i bet sony has a much lower rate than that, sony takes quality control as their religion, while microsoft...well, you know hows its like they release a new windows or in this case, a new console, failure failure failure

  • 2% is a normal and manageable electronic device failure rate. You think... incorrect. Even though Sony has never released a failure rate its believed to be around 1% to 2%. They do fail to.

  • yes my friends and i all have had to send our ps3s in because of hardrive corrupted errors. i got a xbox 360 for christmas and its the 60gb with 2 games. is there a chance i could have got the jasper? i got it on black friday. THX!!

  • Power supply: 150W

    Manufacturing date: 23th october 2008

    = jasper 360

  • Check my new video, Jaspers are in stores right now. Details on how to find.

  • good news for a new 360 owner like me

  • what did u mean when u sed then the pretty reliable falcon we have now

  • my dog licked peanut butter off my balls 2day..and uhhhhh ill kill neone in gears of war 2 ..peace im out

  • HAHHAHA I WANT PICTURES.

    Sweet ill be owning a 360 with the jasper sets in it than. I hope it helps once they are out.

  • Isnt microsoft coming out with the Xbox 360 slim? or is that just a rumor?

  • I just bought a 360 today and the manufacturing dater is September 9, 2008.

    Is it a jasper?

  • it might be.

  • Its not Jasper

  • the jasper should say

    Team:CSON

    Power Supply:125W

    LOT No.:0835

    Manufacuring Date:October-29-08 or august 2008 or higher.

  • Does shrinking down the gpu and the cpu to 65nm make the graphics worse or will the graphics be the same as thw 90nm cpu and gpu 360's??

  • same, no change.

  • When will the jasper chip be in 360 consoles?

  • There are new information about Jasper on xbox-scene they beginning to sell those.

    Jasper Motherboard in the Wild: 256MB Internal 'MU', 150W PSU, ...

  • Its the same, all the architecture is the same. Just that the chip is smaller, so it uses less power, and thus, produces less heat. Reducing the risk of rrod, and lower noise from fans (less heat to remove).

  • I'm planning to buy xbox360 this month,should i buy the falcon or wait for the jasper ?

  • LOL I love these few month old videos, I just bought a new XBox 360 manufactured in October of this year, it's a Jasper.

  • hey man how do you know its a jasper does it say on the box anywher?

  • where does it say when it was manufactured because i just bought one today

  • It says it on the back, mine was made October 10, 2008. According to the Xbox360 DVD Drive Database if you have a lot number of 0831 or higher and manufactured after august 20, 2008 it's a jasper.

  • where did u get your xbox cause i wanna buy one, im looking into buying it at amazon, but i just want to make sure i get the latest manufactoring date posible.... thanks for the help.

  • I went to Best Buy you can check the boxes out yourself, with Amazon you're not sure what you'll get. Mine was the 60gb Pro version that came with the Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones games.

  • it doesnt say it on the back it says it on the side.

  • Also check the amperage on the back of your console if it says 12.1A you have a Jasper, mine is 12.1A. 14.1a is the Falcon and 16.5a is the launch version.

  • Would you mind taking some pictures for proof? Thanks.

  • was it premium 60gb does that have jasper?

  • do the new 60gb ones get the rrod?

  • i already have a 20gb premium and am lookin to get the new 60gb premium is there a wire i can get to transfer all off my saves and content???

  • The way I did it was I bought a 256mb xbox 360 removable memory card from eBay for a couple of bucks and moved the content, profiles and saves from the hard drive to the memory card, then back on my new 360. There is also a transfer cable for this process that you can buy, just search for it.

  • ok thx...bt my friend has a memorycard its the smallest size i think 64mb is tht big enough:P?? lol

    and also if i buy a 360 60GB in december will it be a jasper??

    cheers and thx very much for your vids..

  • Depends on how much content you have. If you have more than 64mb you can just move it in parts. I would say the best time to buy is in December, but watch out for package deals like the holiday bundle as they are most likely repackaged Falcons. Done to get Falcons out of stock.

  • hey thanks for your help but 1 more question,, im going to buy a 26IN HD tv for around £270 if i use the old xbox way of connecting to hd (non HDMI) with my old 20gb falcon,, will tht make the picture any worse or will it even work?? cheers

  • dude.. what is better Falcon chip or the Jasper?

  • jasper ...beacause the 65nm GPU is cooler and more reliable

  • how do u know u know what u know u know what ur talking about when u talk about what ur talking about? because i know

  • how do ou know you have a falcon chipset

  • what is better falcon or jasper

  • Jasper. The newest and latest. Falcons aren't bad either though, mines still working, haven't had any problems.

  • Jasper wil be awesome,but I want to make a bit of a risky buy,This december I was going to buy a Halo 3 xbox 360. um,its over the internet,and I if I buy them from the Walmart website,will I get a Jasper?

  • jasper of course.

  • so whats this do??? does this prevent the rrod from happening

  • Jaspers make the xbox 360's failure rate at 2% or lower of treated correctly. All jaspers will hit stores this december

  • the falcon is a new motherboard it quieter cooler and has less chance of getting rrod but it still will get rrod just has a less chance of getting it.

  • My xbox 360's manufacture date is the 3/27/08 and it has the same differences, a bigger ram chip and the other ones removed from the bottom. Mine is the 20gb one. Strange isn't it.

  • Does anyone know when the Xbox 360 60gb is going to have the jasper chip set? please respond.

  • whats the difference with jasper and falcon 360's?

  • i wonder if the new holiday bundles that are out will be the new jasper consoles.

  • is the 20gb model as reliable as the 60gb pro? cuz iv been thinking i might go for one of those just cuz there $50 less.

  • 20 GB are the old models that have 203 watts.

  • duuuuude!!! the jaspers r gonna be awesome...but then the new daimonds r gonna come out after, then after that the new and improved nuclear xbox is coming out then i heard something bout the atom xbox then the new platinum jaspers n daimond edition ...omg im sooo fukn excited.....cmon billy boy gates i just give us top notch in the first place muthafuka..ur lucky xbox games r the shit..or else id not make u 300 dollars richer...okay bill.huh u got that..im rick james biatttch.wait a min hes dead

  • will this get rid of rrod??

  • middle of october here in holland and still no jasper... : /

  • the jasper isnt supposed to be released until December or January

  • is the jasper really gona make all the difference? i bought an elite cause it woul be "rrod prove" but mine died just afte 55 weeks :S

  • The Elite is the same as the Arcade and Pro, same motherboards. There is so such thing as "RROD proof". Jasper lowers the failure rate to 2%, the normal failure rate for any electronic device.
