i saw a diff video of that… if it overheats by a lot then it will boot into safe mode or something right? i wonder how long it lasts. i heard just a couple weeks or something, but if someone has a dead 360 it’d be worth a shot right… ---

I had the same problem…did the towel trick…worked for a few weeks…ring came back. I did the X Clamp worked for a few months, ring came back. I adjusted the bolts on the X clamp. Fixed it again…for a few months…aaand now it is back again. Piece of shit. Since I modded the case, and the board I cant return mine. ---
