Although Microsoft didn¡¯t disclose anything, but some of the thermal experts have already taken the initiative to try figuring out what could have gone wrong with the system. ºñ·Ï MS´Â ¾Æ¹«°Íµµ °ø°³ÇÏÁö ¸øÇßÁö¸¸, ÀϺΠÀü¹®°¡µéÀº ÀÌ¹Ì ¹«¾ùÀÌ À߸ø ¿ ½Ã½ºÅÛ°ú ÇÔ²² °¥ ¼ö ¿¬±¸¸¸ ½ÃµµÇÏ´Â ¼Ö¼±Çß´Ù. 
The thermal experts managed to compare two different sets of consoles: one original set which exhibits the problem and the other unit which was returned after being repaired (which supposed to fix the problem) in May 2007. ¿ µÎ °³ÀÇ ¼·Î ´Ù¸¥ ¼³Á¤À» ºñ±³, Àü¹®°¡ÀÇ °ü¸® ÄÜ¼Ö : ÇϳªÀÇ ¿øº»À» ¼³Á¤ÇÏ´Â ¹®Á¦¿Í ¼ö¸®¸¦ ¹Þ°í µ¹¾Æ ¿Ô´Âµ¥ ´Ù¸¥ ´ÜÀ§ Àü½Ã (¾î¶²) 2007 ³â 5 ¿ù¿¡ÀÌ ¹®Á¦¸¦ ÇØ°áÇϱâ·ÎÇß´Ù. This approach is clear that if they were able to compare the differences between the two units before and after the fix, then the potential root cause could be revealed. ºÐ¸íÇÑ °ÍÀºÀÌ Á¢±ÙÇÏ°í ¸¸¾à ±×µéÀÌ Àü¿¡ °íÄ£ ÈÄ µÎ ´ë »çÀÌÀÇ Â÷ÀÌÁ¡À» ºñ±³ÇÏ°í ±× ±Ùº» ¿øÀÎÀ» ¹àÇô Áú ¼öÀÖ´Â ÀáÀç·ÂÀ» ¼ö ÀÖ¾ú´Ù.

On top of that, the air ventilation and heat sink on the graphics LSI was small (space constraint due to DVD drive above it) that could have made things worst. ±× ²À´ë±â¿¡ LSI´Â ¼ÒÇü (°ø°£ Á¦¾àÀ¸·Î ÀÎÇØ À§¿¡ ÀÖ´ø DVD µå¶óÀÌºê ±×·¡ÇÈ¿¡ °ø±â ȯ±â ¹× È÷Æ® ½ÌÅ©)´Â ÃÖ¾ÇÀÇ °ÍµéÀ» ¸¸µé¾úÀ» ¼öµµÀÖ´Ù.

Yeah I have an idea, the 360 is piece of crap that Microsoft threw into the market because the original xbox was already dead and nobody was buying, forcing the others to release ¡°next gen¡± systems, so as to not fall behind technologically. ±×·¡ ³ ¾ÆÀ̵ð¾î°¡ ±â¼úÀûÀ¸·Î µÚ·Î ºüÁöÁö ¾Êµµ·Ï, 360 Á¶°¢ µûÀ§ÀÇ MS°¡ ½ÃÀå¿¡ ´øÁø ¶§¹®¿¡ ¿ø·¡ÀÇ X ¹Ú½º´Â ÀÌ¹Ì Á×¾ú´Ù°í, ±×¸®°í ±× ´©±¸µµ ±¸ÀÔÀÌ´Ù, ´Ù¸¥ °¿ä ""½Ã½ºÅÛ, ±×·¡¼ Â÷¼¼´ë ¸±¸®½ºÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
