The earlier the model the more prone to rrod, I still must jtag my Zephyr/Falcon whatever it is. How long since your Falcon got rrod? Did you have it reballed? Hope your not running the fans at 12v thats pretty unbearable
No idea when it rr'd, I bought it from ebay ages ago so info is sketchy
It wasn't reballed, but had some kind of x-clamp jobbie done (there's no x-clamp on the gpu). Oh no 12v is literally unbearable, I've got the main fans running at 60/70% ish, the exhaust shroud is split into two seperate channels, I put a lid on the high heatsink so air is pulled through it rather than over it, & I've some small ram coolers acyively lending a hand too. By all accounts 40c is a pretty good level so should last??Stylesclash07 wrote: »how much you think i can list it for
If it was got from adverts, then I think you've to list it on adverts at no higher than what you paid for it. That used to be the rule anyway (profiteering)0 -

There you go then, your free to ask whatever you see fit Are you an XBL user? If not, then what advantage does a slim have over a jtaggable 360? 0 -

Selling a JTAG ...Noooooooooo
That said, fair play to you for selling it on rather than just updating it and killing another JTAG. I think you paid way over the odds for it at €210 especially considering it's not a Jasper. I've not sold a fully completed JTAGed Jasper for more than €160 and they cost me €100 to buy brand new.
Maybe I dropped the ball though, I've been known to be too kind :P
On the tangent of Falcon reliability I must say that a 40C temperature is very impressive, even stock Jaspers with 70% fans in cold rooms struggle to come near it, especially for the GPU. The only thing that'll have changed over the lifetime of the Falcon model is the solder mix used for the pB-free solder or the QA process in the factory - the boards are the same no matter what the date of manufacture is. Of course there's no real way to know if older falcons are less reliable than newer ones, but the rule of thumb is to go with the closest date to the present one as possible
As for whether I'd buy a Falcon to JTAG it? Sure, of course I would. JTAGs will only get more rare as time goes on. Jaspers will probably last a year or two (at least) with proper care i.e. fan speed to 60% min with no mods, or other cooling mods and even if something does happen it'd nearly be worth a reball at that stage 0
