A silicon-based heatsink compound. You can find it at Radio Shack or any other electronics store

So all you did was clean/ replace the thermal compound? Did you take out the x clamps or leave them in?

Mine has been struck with the same problem. And from what I can gather the three year warranty only covers the RROD, not this.

[ShakeySteve1964]

I removed clamps, cleaned the old compound off both the gpu,cpu, and heatsink, put on new compound, and replaced clamps with spacers and nuts. In other words, I screwed on the cpu/gpu and heatsink. Throw the x-clamps in garbage (where they belong).

the 3-year warranty covers the 3/4 ring of death (=hardware failure due to overheating of gpu).

why doesent any one sue xbox for bull shit products

[ShakeySteve1964]

That's why MS offers a 3 year warranty for the 3-Red-Ring...if they didn't, they would have probably faced a forced recall of all the 360s and even worse bad press...

also leadfree solder melts at 220 c leaded melts at around 180 c depending on the tin silver lead mix. and its not diaelectric its thermal compound just fyi but we know what ya ment just dont wont some noob spreading diaelectric all over his chips lol. that conducts electric current not heat. •62.5% tin, 36.1% lead and 1.4% silver (354°F, 179°C)

•96% tin and 4% silver (430°F, 221°C);

•97.5% lead and 2.5% silver (581°F, 305°C)

•0.75% tin, 97.5 % lead and 1.75% silver (590°F, 310°C).
