I still think reballing, or at least properly reflowing The BGA (Ball Grid Array) components is one of the best ways to go about it. I pick up lead .6mm solder balls to do my dirty work... Take a crapped out 360 to practice on... I will post a video Tut soon, but you can google videos on it if you wanna try it without all the fancy equipment. I have never done a 12V cooling mod, but I have a unit that overheats in about ten minutes, and the fan speed never increases, I'm guessing this would be a nice way to go with that one. smile.gif

IMO reballing is HARD work.....and you should have some experience to do it.
