Xbox HDMI = Falcon?

EDIT - I just deleted my blah blah post to cut to the chase.

Are the new HDMI xboxes falcons?

For info, I know about the 175w power supply and I know falcons are untested by time.

Thanks

I think it 'has' to have the 175W power supply to be a guaranteed falcon.. the first 'elites' had HDMI and where not Falcon's.. I don't think anybody knows for sure if these 'hybrid' motherboards are present in the first batches of HDMI Pro/Arcades..

The proof so I am led to understand is in the heatsinks, do a google, there is a way to spot a falcon by looking through the case vent holes...

Does that Help?

there were arcades/pros with the older zephyr motherboards altho as said if its 175watt psu this is the 1st step as the older type boards need the higher 203watt psu's to run

If you look through the vents on the bottom of the console and see

1) Big pointy yellow beak
2) Sharp Talons
3) Feathers

Then you have a falcon in your Xbox360!!

No, 360's had HDMI and the newer heatsinks before the smaller CPU revision came in.

Buy one and find out.

You need better jokes though.

i seem to remember reading something about the wattage being printed on a sticker on the outisde of the console near the serial number. i think if it had 175W somewhere on this sticker then it was a falcon??

though a quick google suggest that there are some that say 203W on them, yet come with a 175W adapter lol

Haha!

My mate has the falcon motherboard but the 90nm chips. His mobo is sooooo different to mine, missing caps, totally different routing, different caps etc...
