cheap rrod parts?

[english]

can anyone here post either a link or the B&Q part numbers for

bolts

nylon washers

steel washers.

cheap arctic silver 5 paste?

i think we can help other members along with the proper information and parts


i have had an 360 running today for over NINE hours now with the original of COD5 and GOW2 that Was RROD

the very best tip for keeping an ongoing fix is to 'heatgun' the chips that the x-clamp fix attatches to for five minutes (ON TOP). i used maplins 20 quid butane 'heat blower' dongle iron and now TWO 360's that constantly went to RROD after fixing with ebay xclamp kits and arctic silver paste are fine and dandy ..

this is for secondary error code 0102 (to find ur error code when u get three red lights hold sync then press eject four times: 4 lights = 0. 1 light =1. 2 lights = 2. 3 lights = ... 3?

also, talismoon whisper fans with TURBO button AND two extra heatsinks 15 quid delivered .. ten-fifteen minutes on turbo and ur 360 is blowing COLD air even on GOW2 lol .. might help to reflow? ie. let it get red hot then stick the turbo blowers on twenty minutes? if needs be?

any other tips for the RRODers out there guys?

i went to b&q cos i couldnt wait....and cost me a small fortune

the ebay kits where actually cheaper even with postage...but if your doing a few just goto a hardware/fastner shop and get them bulk

its exact part numbers and exactly where to go for them i'm having trouble with.


this is what i have gathered:

flat washer, stainless steel M5 -3/16" code AVF-852336

machine screws, 5x10mm (5mm) code AVF-069918

are these from b&q and i just walk in and ask for them? which department?


also still stuck on a source for the proper nylon washers, but i heard that the metal washers i just mentioned are fine on their own?

and is normal thermal paste good enough to do the job properly does anyone know?


:xmas:

Since i knew that the stuff would come in handy I ended up buying the parts from egay. But i did NOT buy the "fix" I just went to one of the ebay hardware shops and got what i needed, could have got everything from B&Q/Homebase except nowhere supplied the nylon washers (locally). Just buy what you need from ebay......forget about the ready made fix's. Best to have "reserves" of this kind of stuff anyway.

That's the place I use but I get M5 8mm screws, still plenty long enough and the don't interfere with the fins on the newer CPU sinks.
2 days is the longest I waited for delivery from them.

80 x A2_ScrewBolt_SHBtn_M5_8
160 x A2_Washer_ForChs_M5

Goods Total = 13.60
Delivery = 2.36
VAT = 2.39
Grand Total = 18.35

Thats my latest order.
I use the cheesehead washers as they have an outside diameter of 9mm, the form A washers have outside diameter of 10mm but should still be fine.
I dont use the cheesehead screws though, I use socket head button screw.
These have a head height of 2.7mm compared to the cheese heads which are 3.25mm.
