Hi all. I got the 3RLOD on my 360 so i used lawdogs guide to do a clamp fix. Everything went fine for a few days, but now the freezing has started again. Im sure ill get the 3RLOD again, so any ideas on how to fix this ?
console freezing after clamp fix
- Thread starter sonic
- Start date
Other things to try:
1) Make sure all 4 bolts on each heatsink are evenly tightened.
2) Do not overtighten the bolts, that can actually cause the 3RLoD. You want them nice and snug but not as tight as you can possibly get them with a screwdriver.
3) If all else fails, remove the sinks and clean the thermal paste off everything with rubbing alcohol. Put a small shim piece between the sinks and chips. There should be Arctic Silver 5 on both sides of the shim. See the MKIII tutorial linked below for more info on the shim.
