Fabled Opus motherboard appears in Xbox 360

Fabled Opus motherboard appears in Xbox 360

Newer motherboards with 65nmm CPUs found in replacement consoles

By Darren Murph

Well, what have we here? One of those unicorn-like Opus Motherboards? According to an image put forth by one Electric Tuner, that's exactly what we have. If you'll recall, we heard back in February that Microsoft may be utilizing the Opus mobos in order to fit the newer 65 / 90-nanometer CPU / GPU combo into RRoDed Xbox 360s that are just collecting dust in warehouses. Thus, you'll find no dedicated HDMI port here, but it should operate much cooler and in a more reliable fashion than the pre-Falcon rigs. There's no word on how exactly this unit was acquired (a replacement, perhaps?), but you can head on down to the read link for one more picture and a little discussion.

Re: Fabled Opus motherboard appears in Xbox 360
Its basically a falson motherboard without the HDMI, so they can re-use all the old non HDMI plastic cases and non HDMI metal internal chassis.

wow i cant spell, and there is no edit button anymore

I'm sure they have taken steps to try and prevent more RRoD victims from sending theirs in, in exchange for Microsoft's time.

Re: Fabled Opus motherboard appears in Xbox 360
I just requested repair because I got E 74. Do you think they will give me one of those? And how long does it take to do the whole repair process?

You'll probably get one.
And it takes 3-4 weeks.
