Hallo everyone.

I had a RROD after playing a game with a RGH.
and I have it repaired by new cool pasta on the GPU.
And the game I've played is Assassin's Creed - Revelations.
For nou it`s works again.

Don't be mean to noobs :).

I assume, the problem will occur again when you are playing a state-of-the-art game. You just improved the heat resistance between chip and cooler.
If it helped, your problem is thermic expansion of the materials. There is definitively a bad connection under your chip. Only reflowig (even better: reballing) will clear the case longlasting. Your fix will most probably only help for the moment.

For RROD nowadays it almost always going to happen again unless you get it re-balled. Even in that case it can still RROD but much lower chance. Standard x-clamp fixes and reflowing only pre-long the RROD again. Ive X-clamped/Re-flowed probably <50 consoles and it's about a 35% chance it wont happen again.
