It's dreaded red ring that you fear the most while having hours of tiresome gaming session. I think, this is Microsoft's nightmare as well, and hence they've decided to fix the bug, even got it fixed, somehow.

Reports coming from Europe indicate that Microsoft's Xbox360 is getting some novel cooling measures to make it rum immaculately. A French site has pictured some new images of a revised heatsink embedded below the DVD-ROM drive. As you can see, the new heatsink, laden with a heatpipe to another heatsink, places itself on the top of Xbox360's Xenos GPU. The same cooling set-up is found embedded inside the moded Xbox360 in Czech Republic.

Dano2k0 is the moder who has turned Xbox360 inter-cooling dream into a reality that Microsoft had been looking for so long. As Dano2k0 says, the watercooling modification was originally a PC project that used to impress him a lot and wanted to develop one for Xbox360. Since the watercooling project seeks good enough space inside the device, and Xbox360 is the one of them that fulfills all conditions.

As the moded Xbox360 are currently available in few nations, across Europe (I must say, only few lucky gamers), will this be isolated to these nations, only?

Anyway, a couple of years after Xbox360 launch, the gamers would have been feeling a bit relaxed of red rings bug that often brought sudden outlays to the console owners.
