xBox 360 3 Red Lights Repair – Get Rid of the Heat

August 26th, 2008

Computer are built to withstand quite a bit of heat and they also have design factors built in that allow the heat top dissipate out of the main CPU box. However, the xbox 360 is not your standard desktop computer. It is a specialized graphics processing machine with a design flaw that has caused the now well-known xbox 360 3 red lights repair problem. Early models of the xbox simply generated too much heat that could not be dissipated fast enough and caused damage to some of the internal components of the xbox 360.One of the so called "fixes" that has been widely circulated on the internet is the "towel trick". I won’t get into the details here, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that wrapping an already overheated computer in a towel isn’t going to cool it off faster. Perhaps if it was a icewater-soaked towel it might help, but you really don’t want to mix water with any electronic devices. Trust me on that one.
