• Answer:

  hi mate, well its not proved that the 65m boards (falcon) with the new heat sinks are more reliable but they do run cooler but the red rings are not the only caused by overheating, Microsoft have made the warranty 3years for the red rings but no other faults, (disc drive went in mine went but was in warranty) The goods news is if you have to send your console to Microsoft for repair they add new clamps witch well stop the board inside warping inside (due to heat), new heat sinks ( helps the xbox run cooler ) and sometimes a new board and all repaired or refurbs have the first two tweaks to help with the hardware fail-er, I wouldn't sell it if it still works (might have a good one) and if it does go worst ways your be without a console for a few weeks, cheers hope this helps your decision
