If you feel like tearing the 360 open, you can do the “X clamp replacement”.  
Actually, first off…does it get the 3red lights? Even if it doesnt it is 75% chance its still the GPU or the CPU. If you do get the red lights you can get a 2nd error code out of it.

Here is the procedure for the “X Clamp Replacement”

That last site has ALOT off neat shit to jazz up ur xbox. I’m trying like hell not to buy stuff like, box lighting, ect ect

But, if u do redo the X clamps, use the Artic Silver #5, cut the metal grill from the case for better air flow, wire your fans to run on 12V (=faster), and consider putting a fan in front of the CPU heat sink or in the top of the case, blowing on or a bit infront of the CPU heatsink.

Hope the tidbit of info helps ya b

(Ive done alot of researching on these peices of shit to see how to make them better)

Hope lil tidbit of info helps ya brutha! Lemmie know what u do.

OH! and check out my threads about my experience in the “Huge Nerd Corner” area.
