Dude this will have to blow up one day. I love watching these videos. I really enjoy seeing people Clean up, fix, and rgh Xbox’s and you do all of that AND make it ASMR! 😂

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Thanks :)

[@troytheaverage1256]

I wish you would make more videos. I really enjoyed them. They were definitely relaxing.

[@colesyaj_tech]

Great work in finally restoring this neat console. Altho that Zephyr actually has a fixed Rhea GPU on it, so it can't red ring either, it's pretty much just as reliable as Jasper

[@JohnnyInJapan]

it's so nostalgic seeing such a great console after all these years.

[@CliffNark]

Since the OG Zephyr motherboard that came in the Halo 3 edition was serviced by Microsoft in 2010, it will be very reliable since the defective GPU was repaired

[@matttherrien9608]

Mine was "fixed" in 2009. I paid

[@patrickfries6730]

Very nice video! You should put orange LED's in the ring of light board. Very sharp!

[@Absolucy]

I turned this on and then went to go tidy stuff, which was kinda silly because these videos are kinda quiet. However, my cat very much seemed to enjoy watching it, and when I was done tidying, I enjoyed watching this video too :)

[@RestorationRelaxation]

lol thank you so much!

[@umyj3473]

super good quality vid, keep it up boiz

[@mohamedzirzah963]

Bro i like these type od videos Keep up the good work 💪💪

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Thank you! I really appreciate it

[@bubbachubba3600]

Cool video man. My first Xbox 360 got the RROD because my little brother moved it and the video cable came slightly unplugged, but at the time we didn't know that was what caused it. My older brother and I were so mad we banned him from playing when we got a new Xbox.

[@winlover37]

No way I got recommended this video after doing the exact same thing, got a Halo 3 console for wicked cheap. Only difference is both boards are thankfully working. Swapped the jasper I already had into the Halo box and we're rollin. Just missing the Halo 3 HDD enclosure.

[@74bobby]

My first 360 got the ring of death when I was playing modern warfare 2 back in 2008 man that was a sad day for me...

[@RestorationRelaxation]

RIP 😭

[@SuperHitman55]

Hey Restoration, is the OG Halo 3 console reliable? I mean without swapping it out for a Jasper motherboard. I managed to get a brand new one but I'm not sure it's reliable to use

[@RestorationRelaxation]

IMO nope, because it’ll have a Zephyr board

[@SuperHitman55]

@@RestorationRelaxation Are those the ones that get the RROD?, and what about Falcon chips?

[@RestorationRelaxation]

@@SuperHitman55 yep. Falcon is better but not as good as Jasper

[@matttherrien9608]

​@@RestorationRelaxationhow's the failure rate on refurbed Zephyrs? I bought one this week that's 17 years old.

[@samyhx896]

Exactly what I did to mine a month ago. I put a Jasper with MX4 , runs cooler than my slim. Plus I get instant boot with Coolrunner and timing files of Octal. Question* why did u cut the plastic part on the case ? I didn't have to so that

[@RestorationRelaxation]

I wanted to scrub the plastic bits so I removed the bit of metal shielding attached to it. They melt a bit of plastic over it to hold it in place

[@W00fer]

Can you do a detailed guide on the CoolRunner install please?

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Sure, I’ll add it to the list 😊

[@callumbmx9763]

You really managed to make an instantbooting zephyr RGH 1.2 with the notorious pll crash? Mad lad!

[@BeNiZzz265]

I dont know why but orange clock cable from slim packet is long enough for phats maybe it has switched in factory

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Maybe!

[@buzzulinifrancesco]

Did you change the dvd key on the jasper motherboard or on the drive?

[@RestorationRelaxation]

I kept the drives paired and just swapped the bezels :)

[@ledidier15042000]

I got 3 of those with RROD ! Never send them back to the factory because of some special dvdrom fw that I applied to them 😂

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Save them Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope

[@kingofthedarkarts599]

I am curious what that chip is you put in? can you give me rundown of what it does?

[@ninachibi01]

I did, never knew on how to fix it. My first Xbox 360, I still have it.

[@RestorationRelaxation]

May it live forever!

[@ninachibi01]

Thank you, maybe one day I could fix it.

[@rwdplz1]

Have an XBox that was made before the launch in 2005, it has the 3 RROD. Just bought a Halo 3 XBox off eBay, also serviced in 2010, same overheating problem, just put on new thermal compound and fixed.

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Yay! Good job

[@eatTheMiddleClass]

So good. Wish I could solder well. I've custom painted our 360 (Zephyr) in a nice candy pink (and the controllers!). I'd love to cut out the disc noise. Also love to know is anyone has had any luck/advantage from some 4cm noctua fans. Love it

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Thank you! I’d love to do noctua fans but I suspect they wouldn’t push enough air…if that becomes a mod though I’ll definitely give it a shot

[@eatTheMiddleClass]

@@RestorationRelaxation they have more static pressure I'm sure than the vanilla ones. The challenge would be mounting them to ensure you get a tight seal and that all that pressure is pulling air from heatsink rather than the sides

[@RestorationRelaxation]

@@eatTheMiddleClass I bet 3D printed brackets would probably be the way to go. I don’t have any 3D modeling experience unfortunately

[@zeroblack9395]

ما زلت اعاني من مشكلة cropted بحيث قالو لي بأنه لا يقبل تعديل ارجو حل هذه المشكله

[@RealEroSennin]

Why not put the metal piece that was connected to the shell back on?

[@zeroblack9395]

I still have a cropted problem, so they told me that it does not accept modification, please solve this problem

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Hmm what happens when you read the NAND?

[@LuisRamos-oj8fd]

Not necessary the cardboard underneath of the hdd since hdd have screws on it it won’t move

[@tony2sonic]

great video. the cardboard isn't needed for the hard drive since the hard drive will be screwed down. May want to remove the cardboard so the hard drive air flow is not blocked. Dont want all that hard work to go to waste.

[@michaelhinz7829]

That's the coolest mod dude.

[@johnbartender3451]

Did you noticed, the halo 3 shell plastic is ticker compared to regular x360 shell.

[@jamesredsox]

Wow that’s crazy I just did the same thing with this halo three Xbox upgraded to a 2 TB hard drive and did an RGH 3 hack

Solid video! It might have been better (and easier) to use RGH3 instead of 2.1.

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Thanks! RGH 3 was brand new when I made this video so I didn’t bother, since it required a lot of extra software steps

[@KL-zt6jx]

@@RestorationRelaxation True. And I saw that you did use it in a newer video! I love that the mods keep getting easier!

[@RestorationRelaxation]

@@KL-zt6jx huh. That’s slang I’ve never heard before

[@TbjrL]

I can't tell you how many times I've punched a 360 apart. Not from anger or mis play or anything. The tabs that's are vertical can just be thumped out of its click-in tab. Saves you having to Jam a pick in each one and carefully manometer around them. Quicker too. Probably not the best but im all for efficiency
