Cleaning Xbox 360 CPU/GPU and Applying New Thermal Paste

Buy the Arctic Silver Kit (Amazon): http://amzn.to/ArcticSlvrKit

Recently, my 360 has been getting the 3 RROD so I decided to open it and clean the old thermal paste off and put new thermal paste on.

Look how nasty the stock thermal paste looks!

[FirstThirtyMinutes]

@MalarticCommentarys Bought it off Amazon for about $12 comes with the 2 cleaning solutions and the thermal paste

@FirstThirtyMinutes ok thanks! And do you know if this will fix the freezing problem? My xbox freezes when i load a game.

[FirstThirtyMinutes]

@MalarticCommentarys Is it not loading due to overheating? If not it could be another problem. Also, changing out the thermal paste is normally the last method people try to fix overheating problems. Try removing the x-clamps and see if that helps. There are plenty of tutorials here on youtube

Heads up, you do not need to spread the thermal paste the heat sink will do that itself!
