2 of them had the x clamps but, one did not. I found out latter that the one missing the x clamps had been worked on once before and were probably removed then. As far as I know there is no difference between the different xboxes except the addition of a heat piped based heat sink on the GPU which will not solve the over heating problem since they are still using the glue type thermal paste and the poor x clamps. Hope this helps.

Hey I was just curious when you took it apart, did you have xclamps on the back of the motherboard? I took mine apart and didn’t, but all the videos indicate that there is xclamps on the back. Just crious if that is a difference between the xbox 360 elite and the regular xbox360?

The glue or thermal adheasive is the problem with the poor heat transfer. Once the system gets used long enough and the expanding and contracting of the heat sinks the glue will eventually come loose from the heat sinks thus creating a gap between the chip and heat sink. Removing the glue and using a thermal grease and attatching the heat sinks to the chips better would solve the heat transfer problem. I have 18 years experience working with and building almost every type of heat transfer products for electronics cooling with Thermacore Inc.

I have opened about 30 (to fix Red Rings) just opened my first Elite today though… This one has a different CPU heat sink.. also the metal that is used on the new GPU heat sinks. It doesnt have that copper tube running through it anymore either.. hmmm. I have pics if you’re interested.

I believe the “mystery glue” is probably a substance called RTV. I use it all the time in the electrical engineering field whenever I have a component I need to stay still on a board.
