I bought this for my old used xbox that i got thinking it would fix it. Well it did for a short period of time but my problem came from something other than the heatsink. But if my new xbox gets the RROD then i know a xclamp fix for it already.

I received this product very quickly using standard mail option, and this company is reliable. I will buy from them again because of how fast I got this product.

Do not buy this kit. It will provide only a temporary fix. The problem is in the fact that they provide you with nylon washers. These washers will swell and expand from the heat, and pull the GPU up and break the soldering joint again, which will end up causing the problem all over again. You must use high quality spring steel for all the parts, including the washers. Also, using bolts is much better than the flimsy screws this kit provides. Avoid this kit. It will not provide a permanent fix.

I think this worked… it didn’t solve my RRoD but I think my problem was a lot deeper than that based on other things I read and other attempts I made.

This had everything I needed — I used my own thermal compound — and I suppose I can’t say it really did the job because I still had the problem… but it has everything that I read I’d needed and it enabled to realize my box was a lost cause.

The screws are too short to go through the motherboard and more than 1 washers on each side…. so its totally worthless since every guide suggests more than 2 washers.
