It isn't (my computer) and I do know what a heatsink is for.

Just because something has a funky soundtrack doesn't mean it's conspiracy. You could do the same damn thing with most of the Heatsinks for desktop processors if you removed all of the fans.]]>Oct 29th 2006 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 29th 2006 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/
I'm guessing the reason why the temperature could become so high is not that it's usually like that, but because putting the egg on the heatsink has covered it up, resulting in a buildup of the heat energy, which would normally be able to escape more rapidly since under normal conditions, it would be exposed.

1. He is cooking the GPU heat sink, not he CPU one. The cpu is what overheats, the gpu is just fine.
2. After you get the 3 red lights of death the things doesn't let you do much with it, and an idle GPU won't get all THAT hot.

Also, even if it was real he not only removed all of the fans, but he even put a metal guard around the fins! No wonder it is so hot.... Why don't you go and wrap your processor in aluminum foil and see how your temps hold up....

I just can't believe that only 1 person noticed that it was teh GPU he was using...]]>Oct 29th 2006 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/I have seen a cpu running at 90 celsius just because its heatsink wasn't properly working, anything more seems plausible to me.]]>Oct 29th 2006 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 29th 2006 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 29th 2006 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 30th 2006 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/
THG did a test by taking the heatsink off a bunch of cpus, and some of them caught fire, some of them smoldered. Its not just the 360 that gives off a lot of heat.

For christs sake, its got three cores. Its gonna get hot. This isnt a 486 cpu that doesnt even need a heatsink.]]>Oct 30th 2006 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 30th 2006 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 30th 2006 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 30th 2006 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/i think i will try it ]]>Oct 30th 2006 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/29/xbox-360-gaming-console-media-hub-and-frying-pan/Oct 31st 2006 1:16AM
