How likely is it that your xbox 360 will get the red ring of death?

Question

How likely is it that your xbox 360 will get the red ring of death?

Answer 1

pretty much once or twice a month

even with the new falcon chips coming out, it still wont be ring of death free, meaing its still bound to still get it

by me saying this, it could be just a scheme for mirco$oft

Answer 2

MS have $1,000,000,000 in the bank for RROD faults which equates to about 1 in 3 Xbox 360s!

The Elites with the newer Falcon chips have the same overheating issues. I have fixed over 10 myself. MS put in a 3rd heatsink to help cool the Graphics Processor but sat the new heatsink right in front of the CPU intake so it's only going to pour hot air though the CPU's heatsink! Doh!

Depends on how often you play, what games you play - COD4 online will get yr Xbox v hot because it's demanding on both CPU AND GPU.

If you buy the nyko intercooler which plugs onto the back that will help but make sure it's the newer model with it's own power source. The ones that use the Xbox power will cause it to get RROD!

Also don't put Xbox on top of TV where it will get the heat from the TV or in an enclosed shelf unit or similar where the heat can't escape into the room.

Answer 3

OK, Microsoft have tried to cut down the numbers mainly by putting a new kind of chip in the xbox 360's (falcon chip). If your xbox is new it might have a new chip in it. If you take good care of it and dont lay it flat and leave it on all night. You chances should be very small.

Answer 4

About 1 out of every 3.  

Answer 5

You can not really say however it is a good idea to feel how hot your Xbox is during normal game play as if it is getting hot you might see it sooner as the problem happens when the chips get too hot!

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

Are you serious, grow the **** up and stop playing with lame *** video games, seriously.

Answer 10

not sure the exact figures, but mine and most of my friends have broke in the past and been repaired. So its probly a pretty good chance it will get the 3 RROD but its worth the risk. XBOX owns and the online service is far superior to ps3 and wii
