Yeah, I guess I should have said that ventilation will help, but will likely only delay the RROD...

I THINK the newer units are having far less RROD issues... problem is if you send in your old one they just do some generic patch job and send it back to you... They never sent me a newer, better designed model... just the same crappy one with some rigged up fix on it I guess.


If you send in your xbox under the 3 year RROD warranty they will give you someone elses refurbished model and will re-register the new serial number for you.

The newest of the modifications/xbox 360 models is said to have totally solved the RROD issue (proper heatsinks, better components etc) and has also cut down on the noise issue.
