Jasper(Resident Evil Edition, and newer models only and ones with a certain Amperage..) is only way to avoid RROD

I'm on my fourth xbox. 3 RRODs and one time it just froze and never unfroze. I've had it horizontal most of the time, but I've put it vertical as well. I had problems with the tray getting stuck when it was vertical though, so i've left it horizontal ever since. It's been 6 months since my last rrod and I'm getting a bit nervous.

Jasper heatsink will help avoid the RROD, but I put in 2 XCM fans to cool the CPU and GPU. Also I have upgraded my fans that blow the air out and it has about 10 different variable speeds. Also, I added 2 thermometers to the GPU and CPU with an LCD readout to monitor the temps so the RROD won't happen again

I don't think keeping your xbox vertical or horizontal have anything to do with RROD. I keep mine horizontal.

X2 it has to deal with the something over heating and it would do it either way. Some of the RROD where from using it online. I have mine for sale and vertical. :p

9 processors get hot, and they need their airflow.

I think the cell processor is only 6 not 9

It is the GPU that is over heating. I do like the old fashion missionary style

Well it is 9 but you are correct in that only 6 of the SPE's are accessible to game developers. One big one and 8 bitty ones :D

I have gone through 5 xbox 360 (thank god for best buy warranty) but after the warranty ended I just open mines up and fix it myself, but yea doesn't matter which way you put it it comes down to luck, which I didn't have much of.
