      this does fix it. and it doesnt get hot enough to melt the pennys off. i run my 360 for 3-4 days at a time and they havent melted at all

      Can you do towel trick if the pennies are already in the 360.
      Please help someone.

    • Electrical tape is …
      Electrical tape is an insulator, so why are you running the risk of damaging your ram chips by doing this? the pennies won’t help at all if there is tape and glue on them.

      Besides, it’s not the ram that causes the RROD, it’s the poor grade lead free solder on the BGA VPU chip. By adjusting the X-clamps you change the PCB bend and thus have the chip make better contact on the board. RROD occures when the BGA balls get hot enough that they melt a bit and break free from the board. Fix it right.

      I have a better way to fix this and it actually does work. ill post a video soon showing how to do it. Ive done it twice and i actually charge people to fix it. It just involves taking off the mess they made when putting on the thermal grease and putting new thermal grease on.

      yeah that would be awsome. im willing to try anything.

    • that might be the …
      that might be the problem and word of advise never use the towel trick because it will further damage the console and the x-clamp should work because it’s baiscly the main cause of this . if you would like to know what you need mesage me back and wil give you the info and the objective of the x-clamp fix is to clean up the processors and re add thermal paste and replace the x-clamps with screws and washers and to over heat only the GPU not the CPU

    • well, i tried the …
      well, i tried the penny trick first cause it seemed like the more reliable fix, at least more reliable then the X clamp or the towel trick but it sadly didnt do . i tried the towel trick after that but it didnt work either. i have not yet tried the x clamp

      mabye it doesnt work for you cause you fail at life

    • This does not work i tried it if you do this fix try to use thermo grease it should work and i seen success of the penny fix the right way with thermo grease or paste.

    • I tried to do this tho , I tried the penny trick but before I tried I open the X clamp thing but Is it okay to open it & put it back ? I did the penny trick & when I turn on the xbox , the fan just turns off , what am I supppose to do… help plz

    • towel trick doesnt work, penny trick doesnt work for very long, the only legit way of fixing an xbox 360 is the x-clamp fix. the name doesnt even describe it the more important part is replacing the thermal compound and replacing the bolts . but to replace the bolts you haved to take off the x-clamps, they have little to nothing to do with the fix

    • I’ve done this, and tho it works, I’ve notice that it presses down on the motherboard a little too much, which can cause damage in the future.

    • I have done a successful penny fix. I used just 2 pennies. It took me about an hour and a half. Used hot glue on the pennies

    • Would super glue work for this

    • ok people the x-clamp fix doesn’t work the penny trick is a band-aid fix and the only real way to fix and xbox is to get the gpu pulled and reballed with good quality solder sorry to say it but its true. the x-clamps don’t bend the board like everyone else has lead you to belive the tension on them is exactly what you would find in a pc heat sink i would know i build custom computers for people. if you do the x-clamp fix you leave the bottom of the board where the most heat is created unsecured and that will bend your board and ruin your xbox to the point of either haveing to get your gpu pulled and reballed or getting a new one peroid cause the board is warped. look it up solder crystalization is your real enemy not x-clamps! and no i don’t work for microsoft i’m a mechanic by profesion and a computer builder for fun and to make extra cash
