Xbox 360 Phat Thermal Paste Replacement and Disassembly (Falcon)

[@Disaster_Circus]

Dude I've worked on a LOT of computers and consoles and i swear the thermal paste on the Xbox 360 was the hardest to remove out of anything I've ever worked on.

[@andymaverick]

Your right, did you worked on the original xbox too? The thermal paste on those is even worse.

My cpu heat sink is a little loose after replacing thermal paste should I bend the X clamps a little to help hold it in more?

[@andymaverick]

If it's loose I would recommend bending it a little.

Had too use butt of a screw driver to hammer the x brackets 😢

[@andymaverick]

It was that hard to get it back on?
