New CPU HeatSink in some Halo3 LE Consoles: Falcon, 65nm?
>> Users on the xbox.com forums report that some Halo3 Xbox360 LE Consoles (starting lot #734) have a new CPU heatsink (without copper heatpipe). While they automatically assume this means Microsoft uses the new 65nm CPU and 'Falcon' (v3) motherboard ... it's too early to confirm this. It's certainly possible, but no pictures of the new motherboard or CPU have been shown yet:

How to see if you have a 65nm (Falcon) console:
First, get a flashlight that is very bright. Then put your console upside down (HD side down). You should be looking at an black or grey piece of plastic which is the bottom vent. Shine the flashlight directly into the bottom of the console (it works best to sit the flashlight on the plastic).
Then move the flashlight to the right side of the plastic. When you look inside of the console directly below the light, you will see a large white piece of plastic. This is the airflow shroud. You can see this highlighted in this picture: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x127/MRCUR/S8000516-2.jpg
Next, move the flashlight to the left a bit and look into the console again. You are looking for the large silver square that is directly in front of the airflow shroud. This piece will tell you whether or not you have a 65nm console.

(Notice that there is no heatpipe on the new 65nm CPU heatsink.)
