Ok Today were going to look at the motherboard revisions and why they are good or bad for a Jtag

-Xenon- Pro's
- Easy to flash new Kv's
- Very simple to Jtag
- Cheap as chips
- Price: $150-175

-Xenon-Con's
-Heats up quickly
-Will RROD without fans
-Labelled "teh n00b Jtag"

-Zephyr-Pro's
-HDMI display
-Still quite cheap
-Price: $175-200

-Zephyr-Con's
-RROD still very likely
-Need to 12V
-E74 and xmas lights reportedly common
-Low resale value

-Falcon-Pro's
-RROD very easy to handle
-High resale value
-Reliable machine
-The modders machine
-Price: $220-250

-Falcon-Con's
-Still should be 12V'd
-Flashing KV's are still risky.
-Expensive to buy

-Jasper-Pro's
-Easily the best Jtag
-RROD is almost non existant
-Very few errors
-Extremely high resale value
-The "1337 haz0rs" console
-Price: $300+

-Jasper-Con's
-Expensive as sin
-KV's are still hard to flash

This is good and should help lots of future Jtag buyers, but Xenons do not function with every power brick Zephyrs are just as simple to unbann as a xenon. Those are the only mistakes that you seem to have made.

According to my research it says that all power bricks are backwards compatible, meaning that jasper PB would work on a xenon but not the other way around.

But thanks for the support guys!

Also I did not include Opus as I havent heard enough information in order to for a pro and con section worth reading!!

My mistake I will change the zephyr unbanning issue now!
:biggrin:

Wrong.

The power supplies are forward compatible. It's the Jasper console that will work with any power supply.

If the Jasper power supply outputs 150W/ 12a, it's not going output enough power to power up a Xenon which requires 203W/ 16.5a. That's pretty obvious, and is teh reason the Jasper has a smaller power brick.
