Possible Opus Motherboard Xbox 360 Spotted?
>> From 8bitjoystick.com:
[QUOTE]
I've gotten word from Xbox Live user xD157UR83Dx who think that he has an Opus motherboard based Xbox 360 on his hand. His Xenon motherboard based Xbox 360 gave him the Red Ring of Death Core Digital error and died on him about two weeks ago. So he shipped it off and a week later he got a newer Xbox 360 with a manufacturing date of "2006-2009" (that is what he said the labels said, he might send us a photo). His new post RnR Xbox 360 had a much quieter DVD drive and a much cooler and quieter fan. I can't verify since I have not seen it with my own eyes and Opus systems can be tricky to identify but there is a pretty good possibility that he has a genuine Opus motherboard based Xbox 360 on his hands. W00t!

The Opus motherboard is a newer Falcon generation Xbox 360 with a 90 nm GPU but a newer cooler 65 nm CPU and a re-designed cooling system. This going to help Microsoft make working playable Xbox system out of all the dead RRODed Xenons that they have at their RnR repair and refurbish facilities. Up until now if you had a dead Xenon based Xbox 360 you would get a re-jiggered resurrected Xenon motherboard back that might still have lingering damage from the death and resurrection process. On Opus motherboard based Xbox 360 is as good as a brand new Xbox 360 on the store shelves now but no HDMI port and you can only get one by having previously dead Xenon sent in.
