As with many people my xbox 360 decided to start giving me the red ring of death. The red LEDs that tell you the hardware is messed up. The error code I end up getting is 0102. Unknown error. Since I was outside my warranty I decided to give this a try.

No red ring and I can play games again, however after an hour the game system will freeze up and eventually after multiple times the red ring appeared again. I applied the fix again and it works. I want to prevent needing to apply the heat gun again only because I can't imagine it being good for the system over and over again. It seems to me that the system continues to overheat like crazy. I went as far as to leave the machine open on top of my desk with the dvd drive moved so it doesn't sit on top of the cpu's heat sink. I've thought about water cooling this but the water cooling kit for the 360 is around $400 which I would be better off getting a new core system with a really long warranty. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to overcome this freezing and get the 360 stable again?
