RRoD Fixed?

the RRoD is caused by the special "X-Clamps" in the xbox pressing down on the GFX card, causing it to bend, which in turn causes the 360 to think it is overheating when it actually isnt. the problem itself is caused by excessive heat though. even when it cools down it wont be fixed.

Exactly, which is why the towel trick works temporarily. I re-heats the solder, then you let it cool, and the solder will re-set itself for a while.
