Xbox mod-master Ben Heck has dissected a new 360 Elite and made an interesting find - the new units are sporting enhanced GPU heatsinks:
Here's a good view of the heat sink area. The CPU 'sink is the same as before, because we all know the problem was with the GPU. Now not only is there a heat pipe going over the GPU but the material the heat sink is made out of seems different as well - it doesn't feel like aluminum. (Originally it was a fairly generic aluminum heat sink that would honestly look more at home in a 486.) Maybe I can get nasa to scan it for me, or maybe who cares as long as it works?
I'm glad to see some solid proof that Microsoft is improving the cooling inside the 360 - warranty extensions only go so far if they don't actually know how to fix the consoles.
