O yea forgot about that lol. Grr just 2 and 1/2 months left till I can beast people at H3..
Ummm...I can't remember the date off hand but there's like either a manufacturers date on the box or a certain product line. Check out xboxscene.com and look for it, I know it's somewhere on there forums. If I find it again I'll give you the link. And nah, I don't think there replacing the fans anytime soon. But less heat= less the fans have to spin so that means the less they will be loud. I had the same problem worrying about if the one I get will heat up or not. I figured I mind as well just buy one the latest I can, since now about any one of them you buy new will have the heatsink on it, and Im just going to buy one of the extended warranty's. If it overheats ill just send it in and get a new one. But if you really want it to be more quiet you can always replace the fan inside of it with one of the talismoon fans they make now (3rd party company). The only bad part would be the fact that you have to void the warranty. So you'd be sacrificing the warranty for wayy better cooling so yea. Depends which one you think is better. I mean look at it this way, the talismoon fans move like 20 more cfm then the stock fans. And there more quiet and they have LED's in them. While your at it you can also replace the thermal compound on the cpu and gpu, which all in all would definitly improve cooling greatly with MS's new heatsinks on the xbox. But that's if you feel comfortable with wasting your warranty, the chance of ti still overheating and you'd be out $500, and you still need to know how to install the stuff without screwing up the xbox.
PHEW. I hope that answered your questions, cuz my fingers are killing me now.
It's not the religion that causes wars, it's the men who use religion as a means to control people that do.
