1. For every hour that the console is turned on to run a game, it must be turned off for 10 minutes to cool down the motherboard.
2. Please wait for the game CD to cool down before storing it in the game case.
3. In summer, reduce the number of times you turn on the console, and even if the room has an air conditioning system, be sure to turn it off for 10 minutes every hour.
4. Try to use it for less than 5 hours a day.
5. Install a water-cooled radiator.
6. Playing straight on the mainframe effectively dissipates the heat, but it can cause scratches on the CD-ROM.
Repairing the three red methods
Once the "three red" occurs, it basically means that the host is dead. Despite the existence of the following so-called temporary repair technology, it is still a cure, but there is a chance that the host will worsen the failure, so please feel free to listen to the following methods.
The towel method
Prepare two large towels, turn off the Xbox 360, unplug the cables and hard drive from the console, wrap the Xbox 360 console tightly in the two large towels, power it on and run it for 20 minutes, turn it off, install the cables and hard drive, and then reboot. YouTube video demonstrates the towel method
The toothpick method
This is the first time we've seen the towel method in action.
Prepare two toothpicks, turn off the Xbox 360, insert the toothpicks into the two fans at the back of the console, and hold the toothpicks against the blades of the fans so that they can't rotate, and the fans will pull the toothpicks, so be careful not to let the toothpicks fall in, and then turn on and run the Xbox 360 for 10 minutes after the three red lights turn into two red lights, take the toothpicks away and let the fans exhaust the heat, and then wait for the wind to cool down and then unplug the power cord and turn the Xbox 360 back on. boot up and you're done.
The Eraser Method
The rubber is cut from the eraser. Wrap the giant ice cube in a towel and place it under the mainframe. Source other big and small fixes for the method.

[edit]Console technical specification features
Who was involved in the design of the Xbox 360
Microsoft collaborated with two of the most innovative companies in the world, Astro Studios in San Francisco, USA and Hers Experimental Design Laboratory Inc. in Osaka, Japan. Hers Experimental Design Laboratory Inc.*** worked with two of the most innovative companies, Astro Studios in San Francisco and Hers Experimental Design Laboratory Inc. in Osaka, Japan, to design the sleek look of the Xbox 360, collaborated with AKQA to design the menu interface system, and chose IBM, ATI, and SiS to collaborate on the hardware and architecture.
Where the Xbox 360 console is built
Microsoft announced the three manufacturers responsible for building the Xbox 360: Flextronics Flextronics, a Singaporean company that already builds Xboxes on behalf of its customers; Wistron Wistron, a Taiwanese company; and Celestica, a Canadian company that has signed on to build the Xbox. All three companies have manufacturing facilities in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong, with Flextronics in Shenzhen and Zhuhai, Wistron in Zhongshan, and Celestica in Dongguan.
What kind of CPU does the Xbox 360 have?
The Xbox 360 has a customized CPU based on the IBM PowerPC, with 1MB of L2 cache*** and three symmetrical 3.2GHz cores, each with a set of VMX-128 Vector Units, two hardware threads***, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, a VMX-128 Vector Unit, and a VMX-128 Vector Unit. Each core has a set of VMX-128 vector computing units, two hardware threads*** and six threads, each with 128 VMX-128 registers. The CPU is cooled by a water-cooled cooling system. The chip was developed under the codename Waternoose, and the processor was built on a 90nm process, with a 65nm process starting in early 2007.
IBM was responsible for designing the CPU, which was completed on 2004-12-8. Unlike Xbox, Microsoft only pays IBM for the design and engineering, but owns the design rights, chooses the manufacturing facility, and has better control and lower costs. Microsoft currently places manufacturing orders with IBM's facility in East Fishkill, New York.
The Xbox 360 does not have a Physics Processor (PPU)
The Xbox 360 was not designed with a separate Physics Processor, but there is a 128-bit Vector Processing Unit in each of the PowerPC CPU cores that can be used for physics processing.
What kind of graphics processing unit (GPU) does the Xbox 360 have?
The Xbox 360 has a custom graphics processor from ATI that runs at 500MHz, uses 10MB of embedded dynamically accessible display memory (eDRAM), a 48-way parallel floating-point pixel shading pipeline, and an innovative Unified Pixel Shading Architecture (UPSA) that simultaneously handles pixels and vertices for the image. pixel shading architecture. Developed under the codename Xenos, also known as C1, the processor is built on a 90nm manufacturing process, with a 65nm process starting in early 2007.
ATI was responsible for designing the graphics processor, which was completed in 2004-11. Unlike Xbox, Microsoft only pays ATI for design and engineering, and can choose its own manufacturing facilities for better control and cost reduction. Microsoft currently gives manufacturing orders to Taiwan-based TSMC.
Whether Xbox 360 supports DirectX 10 upgrades
The Xbox 360 system supports the DirectX 9 API and some of the key features of DirectX 10, but ATI has made it clear that it is not upgradable to DirectX 10 cores.
What kind of video encoder does the Xbox 360 have?
A video encoder is a chip that takes the image processed by the graphics processing unit (GPU) and creates a video signal that the display device recognizes. According to hardware site AnandTech, the Xbox 360 does not have a standalone video encoder chip, but rather is integrated into ATI's graphics processor, which generates the video signal using its unique Xilleon display engine.
How much memory is configured for the Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is currently configured with either Samsung or Infineon 512MB of 700MHz GDDR3 system memory. The decision for high-capacity memory is generally appreciated by developers. The graphics chip also has 10MB of embedded Dynamic Access Display Memory (eDRAM), which is used to directly output 720p full-screen anti-aliased images.
Intel? Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
2nd Generation Intel? Core? Processors offer an outstanding Blu-Ray Stereo 3D experience in full high definition resolution (1080p) with HDMI 1.0.
Initially, there were problems with the quality of a small number of Infineon memories, which led to occasional splash screens on the Xbox 360 and also affected production.
What kind of cooling system does the Xbox 360 use
The Xbox 360 uses more than 250 watts of power, with the CPU and GPU generating a lot of heat, so IBM and Microsoft designed a sealed heat-pipe cooling system (broadly known as water-cooling), which consists of a copper base that fits snugly over the CPU, copper conduits, and an aluminum heat sink. The copper tubes are filled with water and evacuated. There are also two 60mm fans for internal cooling. In a vacuum, water has a low boiling point, and in the copper conduit it absorbs heat and boils into steam, which rises to bring heat to the aluminum heatsink, where the fan airflow pulls the heat away, and the steam is cooled down and turns back into water droplets that flow from the copper conduit and back to the copper chassis.
Microsoft also added thermal diodes to each of the major chips to monitor internal temperatures and adjust the speed of the two fans accordingly. More heat is generated during sustained gaming, so the speed is higher, and less heat is generated when operating the system and playing DVDs, so the speed drops.
However, the initial Xbox 360 had a very high failure rate due to poorly designed GPU coolers, motherboard X-fasteners, and conditions catalyzed by the use of lead-free solder, resulting in the triple-red halo signaling system failure. the mid-2007 Zephyr motherboards featured a new GPU cooler and motherboard design to address the system failure.
How motherboards differ across Xbox 360 versions
There are ongoing tweaks and optimizations to the hardware design of each version, including cooling systems, output ports, and more.
