I finally replace the thermal paste on my 1.0 xbox

Post by /xbox »

I used a hair dryer to soften the paste on the XGPU and gently twisted it until It was free. . The iso was taking forever to remove the original paste from the heat sinks so I grabbed a can of Breakfree CLP and within 5 minutes both heat sinks looked new I used more iso the remove the CLP. I also removed the clock cap and swabbed the area around it with 91% Isopropyl alcohol. My next project is going to be getting a circuit trace repair pen and attempt a solderless TSOP mod, in theory it should work
