Does anyone know why the GPU heat pipe extender is not fitted to the forza 250gb console as anyone inspected the hardware to check this is true.

its not really needed anymore in jasper motherboards because the gpu dont put out alot of heat anymore.

i think the rest of the motherboard is the same as a normal jasper.

yea this is kinda old news, it was noted that around end of july, (in the new elites but probably all models) ms stopped putting in the heatsinks with the heatpipe.

i guess they think it's not needed anymore, but i will say my gpu heatsink w/ the heatpipe in my july 1st console still gets scalding hot after only a little play in my unit.

so who knows, but i guess it's normal of course.
