Aladdin Mod Chip

The delivery of the product was faster then what was estimated and what was estimated was satisfactory. Everything that was supposed to be in the package was there. Although some people complained about the online directions, they worked for me. When it comes to the "Drill-Free" part, it didn't measure up. The holes in the case that the screws for the Uniclamp had to go through were smaller then the screws that were supplied. The only way to make it work would be to use a drill to make it larger. When I opened the case I found a fair amount of dust especially on the side of the heat sink for the processor. The symptoms for our XBOX were that it would run for awhile and then Red-Ring after it had warmed up. Once it had cooled down, you could play it again. You would only get about 15 minutes of play time before it would Red-Ring. I felt that the dust blocking the air-flow for the heat sink was the main culprit, so I cleaned out all of the dust. Carefully cleaned the fan. Used an old toothbrush to loosen the dust and used a compressor to thoroughly blow everything clean. I did use the compressor to clean the fan after using the toothbrush to loosen the dirt, but I held my thumb against the fan blade to keep it from spinning. It's my understanding that you can damage the bearing in them because the air pressure will rev the fan faster then the bearing is rated for. I also applied the foam pads to the inside of the DVD drive to help prevent scratching a disk. I would have added the ram pads but there were already some in place and they seemed identical to the ones supplied in the kit. I did add the Southbridge cooling plate since it was included. Not sure how much effect that might have. I figured I would try this and see if the cleaning was enough to do it and if not, I would simply disassemble it again and grab my drill to drill out the case holes to fit. The cleaning worked. Extended play sessions now do not produce a Red-Ring. My son said that it was now quieter as well because of the cleaning. If the problem comes back, I will try cleaning first, but if necessary, I will use the Uniclamp. I also saw some complaints about the quality of the special case opening tool as being flimsy and the Torx screwdrivers not being very good quality. I don't know if they had a different case opening tool before but the one that I got was fine for the job that it needed to do. You don't have to use that much force when using the tool. I found it sturdy enough for the job. The screw drivers are rather small size, but then so are the screws that you will be using them on. If they made them with larger handles, then it would be easier for the user to over-torque the screws. You need to be careful when working with screws this small so that you don't strip thing out. I found the screwdrivers to be fine for the job that they were intended to do. A bit of a mixed review, but I just described what my experience was, both good and bad. End result, XBOX is back working.

I understand the need to have a product like this to be "flexible" as there are many different versions of xBox and to also make it as idiot proof as possible so the inexperienced don't break of a corner of their GPU.So to tackle these problems, this kit provides a lot of washers that can be used to ensure the proper height of the heat sink based on the shape of the case and the CPU and GPU. However, this made it tricky in trying to install the heat sinks as every time I flipped it over the washers would slide out. I finally put a little glue on them to hold them in place and then it was a breeze to finish.The Silver 5 compound is great. I don't think the procedures to purposely overheat the xBox are necessary to get the compound to melt and improve heat transfer. It works well without that procedure.

I used this kit to fix my Xbox 360 that had the dreaded red ring of death. The provided step-by-step guide was very useful and helped to get me through the project. I would give it 5 stars, but a few of the screws in the kit were too short and I had to go buy replacements from the store. I haven't used my newly fixed 360 very much, so I'm not sure how long it will stay working. At first glance though, this product did the trick.

This is a great product, now my old Xbox is running like new. Comes with everything you need. Ran into some small issues, like when you install the Xclamp replacement make sure no other metal parts are making contact with it. If they do just cut them down with wire cutters; Also when you are asked to make the holes on the xbox metal frame bigger make them bigger then the head of the bolts that you are installing.

easy to install, follow the direction on the instruction booklet. sanding was required for my case, took 10min to sand with 90 degree sander, the battery operated one, a plan sander might be able to do the job as well. once complete the xbox was considerably cooler to the touch. i also added some zalma VGA ram heat sinks and replace the fan, with whisper fan 360 green

I bought this kit to bring my xbox 360 back to life after suffering 3 rings of death. Everything was included that is pictures. I ran into some questions and followed the link provided in the receipt to the homepage of XBRdepot and was not able to find the instructions. I then sent a email to this company and waited over 1 week for a reply. I ended installing it how I thought was the correct way with some doubts. Xbox 360 worded for about 2 weeks and died again. I just gave up and bought a newer model.

This works well for a long time. Not too hard to install if you follow instructions and youtube videos.

Used the XBRdepot eXtreme Complete Drill-free Uniclamp (TM) kit for XBOX 360 ft. Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound GPU CPU Shims eXtreme-III (TM) RAM Thermal Pads Combo Super Open Tool Set and Extra Mods (XBRdepot eXtreme Drill-free Version) and followed the indtructions online. Xbox works just like it did before the red ring.
