It didn't take long, but the first reports of the new 65nm CPU / GPU (code named Falcon) overheating has just surfaced. Seen on the picture is a limited edition Xbox 360 Halo 3 edition. This system incorporates the rumored 65nm chipset.

I know this is old, but I've been doing research on the different xbox 360 revisions...and stumbled upon this post. Last year sometime, around the Halo 3 launch, I bought the Halo 3 limited edition 360 and sold it because upon opening it up and doing the research THEN, I found it was not a falcon console, and thus, not did not have a 65nm CPU or the updated heatsink. It was definitely a Zephyr. From what I'm seeing, the best way to tell is to look at the power adapter to see the wattage. For instance, the falcons have 175w power adapters while the jaspers have 150w adapters. I believe the Zephyrs had the same 203w power adapter the xenon had, given the fact it still used 90nm parts.
EDIT: You can barely see that this console has a 12v rail of 16.5a, meaning it is NOT equipped with a 65nm CPU. A falcon system with a 65nm CPU and 90nm GPU has a 12v rail of 14.2a.

if I remember correct not every Halo 3 360 is 65nm, only the ones with different heatsink(lot 734 I think, without heatpipe)
[edit]some of the guys in the forum are making the same observation

No, from what I understand all of the Halo 3 limited Edition consoles have the 65nm chipset. And some of the Elite / Pro systems have them, you might be confusing the two.
Also the poster confirms that it is a 360 with the Falcon chipset.

Why would some halo systems have them and not others? The only logical explanation would be if they were manufactured in different locations.

2.2 - All the more reason...
That I primarily do my gaming on my PS3, and have the 360 and Wii for their (good) exclusives only...
Microsoft is taking a beating in the hardware department... This is their first custom hardware architecture, and it is plagued with issues.
Microsoft is going to have to do their homework on their next XBox and make sure things like this don't happen again...

The GPU is what is overheating not the CPU, also there is no official confirmation that these even have the new 65nm CPU!! You have to take off the heatsink and try and look at the CPU to know for sure.

This is EXACTLY why MS is able to get away with pumpimg out BS hardware. It never ceases to amaze me how much and how often people who own 360's make RROD some kind if made up conspiracy theory.
If your a 360 fan be a 360 fan. Take the good with the bad but at the same time stop acting like your fellow 360ers arent going through it with their consoles bricking. Its akmost a slap in the face to them because while your over here talking about whats made up, some dudes pissed bcuz his system has failed.
My cousin, who's also my room mate is on his 3rd 360 and his brother is on his 3rd. In all fairness, this dudes core bricked, and it was repaired/or refurb but he also got the elite in addition to having the core.
Seriously though, people are acting brain washed over this RROD and it makes it easier for MS to give their fanbase the loooooooooooooooong shaft because instead of contesting this sh!t, you guys are saying its ok is my systems bricks and even worse you guys wont even acknowledge or believe thats your fellow a-alikes 360's are bricking.
My cousin is a Xbox360 Fanatic but this dude, as well as my other cousin are quick to admit that MS hardware is waaaay to faulty.
If you guys are man enough to brag about how Halo3 owns(It Does) and how many great games there are for 360(there are), be man enough to face the cons. RROD does exist so stop sh!tting on your fellow 360'by failing to acknowledge what they very well go through.
Of course not every 360 has bricked, no one said 100% of all 360's brick but just because it didnt happen to you that doesnt mean it hasnt happen to the next man. It has and i have seen numerous cases with own eyes and have nothing to gain from lying or makin up things as I like ALL 3 console. Peace

jeez the length people go too discredit consoles.....you would also see the red tinge around the area...but no light even emits off the ring...another red flag is the person that posted that is missing now from the site. its only obvious now that the person joined too spead false info...way too go ng4g too fall for another fake posting.
you people who disagree care too explain why you disagree or will you just be the mindless sheep who always disagrees with people anonymously

14 - We will wait for more evidence
To be fair I think we must wait a while until they open up the frame and investigate the hardware to see if those new chips are present and also to have a few more broken 65nm consoles to properly confirm the problem still exists.
I'm sure many people were considering buying a 360 next year thinking the new chips would guarantee reliability. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

i don't know or care if it has the new chip or whatever, the fact is that a x360 manufactured in august of this year according to the picture got the RRoD which is unacceptable in my book as a x360 owner who had one system died already.

all devices will have hardware failures, why is anyone surprised that one of them broke down. The 'falcon' 360 would only drastically reduce failure rates, not eliminate them 100%.
The fact that it broke down so quickly obviously means that it was just a faulty console from manufacturing more than anything, not a systemic issue with the console
