Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 7:36 pm Post subject: Tutorial Requests here
I have been getting asked a lot of 360 related questions as of lately. I know most of the solutions off hand, but still fire up google, and find the respective tutorial.
Well I feel there is a need for a general request thread. So if you need help, and don't know where to turn, feel free to post a request for a tutorial in this thread.
Tutorial request rules.
1. Look through the present tutorial section. If you find there isn't a tutorial that
fits your needs request one.
If you disregard this step your request will be ignored.
2. If you do find a tutorial, but it doesn't quite help you out, post the link to the tutorial, and describe where it is lacking, or where you are having problems. So we may update it, or provide the solution.
Remember anyone can submit a tutorial, so this thread will depend on the knowledge of members from Hq. Also it will help our tutorial section expand until it is brimming full of knowledge covering every aspect of the 360.

Don't forget guys, I will write up a tutorial on anything. I am going to put up a tutorial on how to tear down the 360 all the way to the heatsinks. Then explain why the huge gobs of thermal paste that M$ puts on their chips is counter productive, and how you can keep your system much cooler. Trust me my system is still not burned in and my temps keep going down. It will have video parts to it as well. Pictures and text are nice, but videos are even nicer.
So stay tuned............

Thank you for the kind words. No point in learning something, and being greedy with it. =^)
Well like I said the next tutorial will be a full tear down of the case, hdd, and dvd. Also removal of the motherboard and heatsinks. With a few mods to help bring down your temp's. Ive gone from 41c on the cpu, and 50c on the gpu, to 35c on the cpu, and 43 on the gpu. This is with the xcm air cooler, and addon fan, but you will notice results even if you have stock cooling.
I'll do my best to push it out tomorrow evening. I will be adding video to it, so you can see just how easy it is to do, and its a lot easier to following along while watching.
Just doing my part to extend the content of the site even further then it already is.
Please if you have questions and cant find a tutorial, or have found one and still are a bit lost, just ask. No matter how easy, nor how hard I'll get one up for you.

Please people, put up anything. Something you'd like to see the 360 do, some addon, some new product thats not out there. Anything, I've been modding pc's for ages and have the knowledge to bring it over to the 360. I can track down any tutorial, tear apart my 360 do it, and put up a tutorial just for you. Id love to see our tutorial section grow, and would love to keep my modding skills fresh with new ideas and practice.
No request is to crazy. This thread is running concurrent with my mod shop.

when you guys do video tutorials...is there a way you can make them for download. alot of sites have vid-tuts but you have to watch them live.
heres my problem...i have to get everything i need here at work from the internet and then take it home, because we moved this year out to the country where there is no broadband. i have a huge stack of tuts that i have printed for xbox, xbox 360, and wii modding.
itd be nice that when you put up a video, there would be a way to download it so i could take it home with me.
thanks
