Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent
mlg@lemmy.world 5 months agoThis would be funny if it happened to Nvidia.
Hope Intel recovers from this. Imagine if Nvidia was the only consumer hardware manufacturer…
Lol there was a reason Xbox 360s had a whopping 54% failure rate and every OEM was getting sued in the late 2000s for chip defects.

Isn’t the 360’s failure rate due to MS rushing to release it before the PS3?

No, it was entirely Nvidias fault

AFAIK the cooling was faulty or insufficient which burned the chips out.

Tagging on here: Both the first model PS3 and Xbox 360 were hot boxes with insufficient cooling. Both suffered from getting too hot too fast for their cooling solutions to keep up. Resulting in hardware stress that caused the chips solder points to weaken until they eventually cracked.

Owner of original 60gb PS3 here.
It got very hot and eventually stopped working. It was under warranty and I got an 80gb replacement for $200 cheaper, but lost out on backwards compatibility which really sucked because I sold my PS2.

Intercooler + wet towel got me about 30 minutes on Verruckt

I think the 360 failed for the same reason lots of early/mid 2000s PCs failed. They had issues with chips lifting due to the move away from leaded solder. Over time the formulas improved and we don’t see that as much anymore. At least that’s the way I recall it.
