I have now had the Elite for must be over a year now and again no problems, well Flashing red lights as I had a quick power cut but turned the 360 off and on again and it was fine.

Overall about 3 years with a 360 and no faults :)


So what's difference between a premium and elite construction wise? All I thought the differences were it was black and came with a 120GB hard drive :-k

It's a slight variation on my method (overheating) :wink:

The towel trick doesn't work properly. You need to tighten the GPU and re-thermal paste the chip adding washers. Takes a while to be fair but it works a treat.
