Inside the Xbox 360: A followup to the Talismoon Review

[stvloza]

can yuo play xbox games on pc?

[lolokanaka]

Can anyone advise what to check if the Xbox doesn't power up and the power supply to the box checks good. Is there something inside that can be checked such as PC Board surface fuse, etc.? It was working fine and my son accidentally kicked it with his face during his excitement while playing a game.

[erfravens]

Can anyone help me? My xbox says unreadable disc about every disc i own even ones that i install to the hard drive. I know its not my disc drive because i downloaded the Madden 12 demo and it said unreadable disc. I also know its not my hard drive because it does it when no memory devices are connected any help would be greatly appreciated.

[halo3go1]

Those 3 dislikers broke there xbox's doing this!

[grahamrees87]

my xbox wont conect to xbox live do u know why

[michaelwg123]

my stupi litle bro broke my xbox

[maxbrokeaway]

@danthemanzizzle Whenever a game is made for the 360, the software is custom tailored to run on that specific hardware (the 360), so the performance is consistently good. As where when a game is ran on PC, depending on the specs, may perform proorly or godly, depending on what hardware the game was developed on. Just one of the benefits of going to console when playing video games. Consistency.

Wheres the Warranty Banana?

[fluffboyjr12]

one nitpick about this video, why do most americans i hear on youtube say "sodder" not "solder".

it really annoys me :/

[maxbrokeaway]

@fluffboyjr12 We spell it the same way, "solder", but americans commonly pronounce it "sodder", in all my years of tech experience, I've never once heard it pronounced a different way. I guess it's the same as how Brits say "Al yoo min ee um", and Amercians say "Ah Loo min num" ...different countries mate.

[faustballs]

My USB ports stopped working on my xbox 360. What can I do to fix it? I tried turning it off and disconnecting everything, but it didn't work.

[maxbrokeaway]

@faustballs never experienced that problem, it is probably a diode or a fuse somewhere on that line between the connectors and the processor. Is it all 3 usb ports? or just the front ports?

[AFKCPU]

max can u take out the xbox graphics card and put it in a PC??

[clockwise3559]

@AFKCPU seeing it doesent have a "graphics card" so to say. and it does not connect via PCI and most importantly it does not have any video outputs that your computer would be interested in. no

[maxbrokeaway]

@AFKCPU No

[fuge805]

could i take the cpus out and hook them up to my pc?

[maxbrokeaway]

@fuge805 No

[iandropin09]

Hey max

Just wondering...

What dvd drive is that ?

thanks

[maxbrokeaway]

This is the BenQ Phillips Drive 

[jj9528]

Wheres the graphics card wdf?

[maxbrokeaway]

@jj9528 It's actually a BGA component soldered to the main MB...not an actual separate card.

[jj9528]

@maxbrokeaway No wonder the graphics suck, they should have an external GPU in there any external GPU is better then a gay built in one:l

[maxbrokeaway]

@jj9528 It's not "built in" so to speak, it's just soldered on to main board, bypassing the need for an express PC card slot. And the graphics are great.

[jj9528]

@maxbrokeaway I understand now about what they did to there GPU. But as "great" As the graphics might be for a 5-6 year old console I have to stick to PC gaming sense it shits on xbox lmao anyways good video

[maxbrokeaway]

@jj9528 Of course new PCs are able to power stronger graphics. My gaming PC at hom can smoke my 360, hands down. But for a 5 year old console, the xbox is still pumping out some very killer looking games that PERFORMANCE WISE are more reliable than that of a PC. Can't take that away from them.

[jj9528]

@maxbrokeaway I built mine:3 and I agree xbox is doing a nice long lifespan and is still keeping up with todays games.

[MultiBillybob10]

i opened my xbox and there was an adapter it was so weird. :o thanks for showing me how to open my xbox thanks alot. :D

[deadhead42020]

love what your doin here bro i just recently did the x clamp fix on my old xbox and did a bunch of upgrades including the fan youve got but ill hit you up if i have any troubles ....and yea haha 12v or go home with an extremely hot heatsink lol

[lifeofstu]

This video is full of misinformation, please comment back.

[maxbrokeaway]

@lifeofstu No it isn't.

[lifeofstu]

wow you dont need to make it that hard for yourself ... wow.

[maxbrokeaway]

@lifeofstu Most likely you don't know as much as you think you do. Everything I mentioned in my video is tested and confirmed.

[maxbrokeaway]

@lifeofstu this was quite easy.

[XvEmoKittyvX]

Xbox 360 are soo fun to fix/modify =] I'm currently in the process of fixing two Xbox's, one has a bad DVD Drive, simple cleaning fix, the other displays no video, soo I'm just guessing that I have to clean up the GPU and/or CPU. if you have any suggestions can you please tell me?? =]

[maxbrokeaway]

@XvEmoKittyvX No video could be a number of things, first thing I would try is a new A/V cable...Remember, whenever you troubleshoot, start with the simplest option first, and work your way up.

[XvEmoKittyvX]

@maxbrokeaway Yeah, I forgot to include that I tried switching A/V cables. But that didn't fix it so I had to do a reflow.

[maxbrokeaway]

@XvEmoKittyvX What did you reflow...how did you reflow it...and did it fix it?

[XvEmoKittyvX]

@maxbrokeaway I did a reflow in the HANA or ANA (I forgot what it was called) and on the GPU. I used a heat gun to do the reflow and it fixed the problem.

[asskickingorange]

damn man i thought my phone was ringing during this vid ahah

[maxbrokeaway]

@asskickingorange lol

[netteam4]

hey that new heat sink that you installed are those expensive? and are they hard to installe?

[deadhead42020]

@netteam4 not too expensive i think less than 20 but its called a 2nd gen gpu heatsink and you can get em on ebay all day ...and they are about intermediate id say ...youve gotta reapply heat paste (or atleast i would) after either removing the xclamps completely or just putting them back on (do what max did)

[maxbrokeaway]

@netteam4 No not expensive, got it on ebay, and easy to install provided you do an x-clamp fix

[blackoil911]

wtf is the with these faggots playing music..

[maxbrokeaway]

@blackoil911 I don't know...my video is about the xbox 360 internals...I think you commented on the wrong video, hit the "Back" button to get back to your gay porn.

[blackoil911]

@maxbrokeaway

tell your mom i have chit nuts in my ass hole

[XxxSmgHunterxxX]

I put the same upgraded heatsink on my 05 model :)

[xx7fox7xx]

is E 74 error fixable ?

[maxbrokeaway]

@xx7fox7xx of course...x-clamp fix

[xx7fox7xx]

@maxbrokeaway lol that would have been usefull a year ago lol to late:)

[maxbrokeaway]

@xx7fox7xx sorry...i haven't checked my channel in a while...im back now...

[bumba26]

Hey max,

I have bought a brand new Arcade 360 with Jasper.

I have ordered a Talismoon Whisper Legacy Fan from ebay. I haven't received the product yet.

I want to know does this fan really cool the system or its just smart talk? Moreover, does it really increases the life of the 360 by preventing RROD to some extent?

Does this fan have any other side effects.

I will be highly obliged if u can answer these questions.

NOTE: I am not worried about voiding the warranty.

[maxbrokeaway]

If I were you, I would just keep the Jasper stock and save the warranty. The Jaspers are supposed to run much cooler due to the size of the GPU being reduced...so I don't believe a whisper max fan will prolong the life of your console. Plus they are much noisier. The Whisper max fans are great for pre-Jasper consoles due to the heat they disperse...but a Jasper should be just fine without it.

[BigK1996]

@maxbrokeaway I need some help. My nitro switch broke on my Talismoon and I left the fan in the xbox. When I power it on it seems like the fan starts to speed up in RPMs and after 2 minutes I get 2 red lights telling me it's overheating. Is the problem the fan? Maybe since the switch is broken it's causing another problem with the xbox

[MAGRavenPS3]

microsoft should hire this guy to fix their unreliable piece of crap hardware. Genuis

[maxbrokeaway]

@MAGRavenPS3 Thanks so much...thats quite a compliment!

[Cringle84]

Thats what Microsoft should have done in the first place.

[IHI4ZZx]

@Cringle84 they're too lazy and arrogant to actually spend some money fixing their systems...

[cbremer83]

They need more PC like cooling in there. I'm a freak about keeping my PC cool. Ever thing about some kind of dust filters. A really thin felt or foam would work. Again, same as they use on quallity PC cases like Coolermaster.

[elatesword4xboxlive]

Thats not the latest heatsink you can get.

[gowproblem]

Question? can you put the Talismoon Whisper Legacy Cooling Fan and the xcm core coolers v2 together because i know that they both use the sata* cable so i was just wondering?

[TheKatashe]

you know how to chip the 360?

[altin08channel]

do you get banned becouse of the taslismoon..and does it keep it cool enough

[SuperSTASYAN]

NIGGERS Come to Russia, the city Prokopievsk, I'll fuck you in the mouth and finish you in the mouth

[ascrysis3]

why do you get it in japan when it was made in america?

[bamfan2044]

the parts were made in japan more then likely thats what half the suff made in america is

[tyrone03396]

if you do change the case and stuff jus put the reg case bak on and the sticker and boom

[chris28ish]

Good video man but I wouldve suggested to NOT remove the X clamps because they help hold the form of the motherboard. Also, you didn't need to put all those heat synks on the front side. If you put a conductor on the x-clamp side, it will save you alot of work and you wouldn't need an extra fan. FOOD JOB

[chris28ish]

GOOD JOB*

[BlackiCEcontroller]

Just to let you in on a little easier screw to use later, they are flat slot machine screws 1032 x 1/2 plated.

You don't need to cut out holes in the chassis case.

I'm no accredited technician, I'm just a 17 year old with a knack for technology and games =)

oh btw, nice credits song!

[maxbrokeaway]

great idea! I simply bought a bulk RROD kit from Ebay and these are the screws that came with it...but your idea would make my life alot easier!! Thanks!

[maxbrokeaway]

i can tell you that you not going to notice a difference in db coming from the fans if you install the whisper max fans and run them at 5v...the sound from the dvd drive will drown out the stock fans or the talismoon at 5v...so if all your looking to do is make it quiter...then don't waste your money. People get whisper max for the 12v speed which greatly increases the systems cooling capability

[shadesofbluee]

I wish someone would perform a proper db/cfm test on the talismoon fans vs stock delta fans. Ive always considered buying them to quiet my system a little, but Im skeptical over how well they really perform against the stockers, when not in 12volt mode.

[Meesa80]

You were right, it didn't mean much to me but good job it was a great vid.

[swehunter2000]

what is that switch youre talkin about?

[maxbrokeaway]

The nitro switch for the whisper max fans will switch the fans from running on 5v mode or 12v mode.
