Xbox 360 Slim Air Circulation

The main reason why Microsoft launch Xbox 360 slim is due to 3RRoD problem, aside offering low power consumption.In Xbox slim Microsoft use new air circulation technique whereas fan use to blow fresh air into Xbox GPU and CPU which now combined into single chip. As we know 3RRoD is the main disadvantages of Xbox 360, bad air circulation make GPU beaked so bad and make your Xbox 360 broke - I wonder why Microsoft didn't thy their product first before sell it into the market. Okay, end story for Xbox 360 "fat" and new era of Xbox 360 slim and this is illustration how does cooler system on Xbox 360 slim work.
Fresh air will goes into xbox 360 slim and make GPU+CPU and headsink cooler. This is same with all PC air circulation system whereas fan used to blow fresh air and not used to hot air out from system. As we know Microsoft set fan speed very low-- I wonder why Microsoft didn't put 12volt fan instead of 6volt fan, because many gamer can extend "Xbox 360 lifetime" by modding those fan into 12volt, this will make your xbox 360 keep baked for very long time and at the end will make RRoD problem, but this already recognize by Microsoft and they put system to prevent Xbox 360 slim form overheating.


Picture above shows how Air circulation of old Xbox 360 works. Hot air are suck from inside xbox out to open air, by using only 6volt fans this will not work properly and those "Hot air" will stay inside xbox 360 and make xbox 360 3RRoD and major 3RRoD is due to GPU overheat.
So I think what Microsoft do to overcome overheat problem on xbox already good by changing air Circulation system and also by using bigger head sink so heat from GPU and CPU will distribute more properly.
