    If this is true, I have to suspect that you are not properly maintaining your console(s).

    It has nothing to do with the user, they just have a bad system set-up, Not to mention they use some of the shittiest Thermal Compound on the market. So if anything blame the company for being cheap.
    I say this in spot of my friend who is now a retired 360 gamer who went threw six of each version including the elite going as far as making a cooling box for the system to pull heat away from it in all directions and suck air in threw the front. Yes he wasn't using the legit case by that time. Though I will say that was the longest any of his consoles lasted. I will say they did upgrade the thermal compound a little after the stress of all the first RRoDs but still it is shite compared to even the stuff that comes stock with AMD CPUs.
