That's the same warranty sticker they use at the repair center for refurbished consoles.  I think others have reported finding it on new consoles as well, but I'm not positive on that.

First I have seen this sticker used with new consoles, the April manufactured Falcon that I worked on had the old sticker!

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
Jasper temperature test, this is after 15 minutes, the GPU was still creeping up very slowly.
Temperature probes inserted right next to the processors.
Left = GPU, right = CPU
Falcon at this point was just over 130 degrees F, CPU was almost the same.

I did this test to show all the people that hate the NYKO intercooler just how much it does help. Using a new TS intercooler, I installed it just after taking the above picture. Picture taken about 10 minutes of running both CPU and GPU temperatures looked stable.

No luck kept finding lot # 0842x date of build was 10-17-2008, but the team was FDOU, couldn't really see the ampage.


Hey JWspeed what do you think of the psyclone chill station compared to the nyko intercooler?

The only way to help cool the 360 more is to move more air threw the heat sinks. This is what the intercooler does. The chill station blows air in the bottom or side, really not a lot of help.

Check out the new TS intercooler, it is a completely new design, and uses a seperate power supply. No connection problems!

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
The UK Jasper hunt continues.

Just got some LOT numbers from my local Asda. I have been loitering around the electronics section for weeks hoping that it will be quiet enough for me to do some checking. They have an Elite 839x, and also a Pro that is 833. Both are team FDOU. I would have got the Arcades but I was in a bit of a hurry. So still no UK Jasper sighting yet. Going to work in a warehouse for one of the big retailers on Tuesday, so I really hope they stock the electronics in there. As soon as I catch sight I will report back. I was not able to see thw Watt rating and was fast running out of time in the store.
I bagged a Jasper MW2 250GB beast
thanks to all those that helped in the Jasper hunt

I just got the crappy Xenon Pro Refurb back from the repair shop.  I love how the intercooler Ts cools with its own psu.  Anyways hey buddy.  Do you think the Intercooler TS puts stress on the stock xbox fans.  I will get one regardless.  Once this refurb dies and I sure it will hopefully 6 months down the road then I am going to go ahead and get me a Jasper.  They should be plenty by then.  So all new units lots higher than the 0843 lots should be Jaspers right.  Of coruse need to come from the FDOU plant???

The intercooler has very little affect on the stock fans. Even it they did the xbox 360 fans are made to run on 12 volts. The stock fans running on 12 volts DC will move almost twice the air of the intercooler.

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
Good looking out JWspeed.  Good looking out for everyone on here with the temp testing you've been doing.  I can't wait for my refurb to die.  LOL!!! Yeah I will pick up the TS model.  I have the EX on my refurb right now.  Once my refurb dies hopefully it will last me a year, by then Jaspers will be plentiful.  Next system no doubt will be HDMI.  Once I get that I will be upgrading to a Pioneer HDMI Switching A/V Receiver.  Then my Directv and 360 will be running 1080p 24hz!!!

It's to the left of the serial; you can't miss it.  (The label is above the AV/HDMI connector)

How to find a Jasper console in stores:
Unfortunately there is no guaranteed way of finding a Jasper console at this point, even if all of the below information matches (or exceeds) a console in stores. Please keep this in mind while trying to find a Jasper console, and when you are posting in this thread.

The following information is from confirmed Jasper consoles. Your best bet is to try and match this exactly before you purchase a new 360, as newer consoles have been found and are Falcon, NOT Jasper. This information will be updated regularly, or you can look in the discussion below for the most up to date info.

Lot Number: 0843X
Team: FDOU
Manufacture Date: 10/23/2008
PSU Output: 150W
Console Power Rating: 12.1A

All confirmed Jasper consoles thus far have been Arcade consoles purchased at Wal-Mart. The lot number, team, and manufacture date can be seen without opening the box. See “How to find Lot and Team info:” below. Finding a console with a later manf. date or higher lot number will increase your chances of getting a Jasper console.

*NOTE*
Although it is possible Microsoft is only releasing Jasper consoles with 150W PSUs, this is also somewhat unlikely. As more consoles are found around the above manf. date it may become apparent that some Jasper consoles are shipping with 175W PSUs, just as early Falcon consoles shipped with 203W PSUs. Again, keep checking back for updated information in this post or read the discussion below.

Here is an image of a 150W PSU:

Here is an image of the power rating on the console:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x127/MRCUR/Jasper/1127080409.jpg

Here is an image of the Xenon/Zephyr, Falcon/Opus, and Jasper power connectors:

What is a Jasper console?

Jasper is the latest revision of Xbox 360. Although the console does not physically look any different, the PSU (power supply) has changed, as well as the GPU die size. The PSU is now 150W (as apposed to 175W with Falcon) and the GPU is now 65nm. With this revision the 360 is now a full 65nm console, with both the CPU and GPU die size being 65nm.


How to find Lot and Team info:
There is a white sticker on the side of the box with the lot # and team. In order to find the manufacturing date without opening the box, there is a flap on the side of the box that allows you to peek inside and see the manufacturing date on the console itself.


If you’ve found a Jasper console:
Please post the console information! If you have any pics of the box or console (especially the internals!), link to them! The more confirmed Jasper consoles people find, the better this guide will be for everyone.


If you have questions:
Read this guide in its entirety. A lot of questions can be answered just by reading everything over once more. If that doesn’t help, then post away! There are plenty of people around to help answer any question and make this guide the best that it can be.




Some thanks and notes:
First of all, thank you to everyone who spends a lot of time on these forums (Official Xbox.com) and all the other great forums where Jasper discussions have been happening. Congrats and thanks go to Scoldingice and Moddage at the Xbox-Scene forums for finding the first Jasper consoles. A special thanks to Moddage for posting some great pics that aren’t from Mr. Blurrycam. There are also tons of people around here who have put in a lot of time helping to find Falcon and Jasper consoles. Two people in particular, Mitsuho and JasperHunter (from Anand), who have put in tons of time into helping people find the first Jasper consoles. And of course, tons of thanks to Xbox MVP Boid for helping me manage my Falcon thread (and I’m sure this thread)!

I will attempt to have this guide updated as soon as more info is gathered, but I cannot promise that it will happen right away.

I'm surprised they're suing those again. They were mainly used in Europe around late 2006, early 2007. I never expected them to be thrown on new consoles...

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
I am sure the Pro stock has been filled with the left-over Arcade (sans-MU) stock, but as soon as the warehouse burns through that, the Pro version will see the Jasper units on shelves.  That said, there's a very strong possibility that the Elite version will see the Jasper update before the Pro model, at least, on store shelves.

Even though that sounds "cool-o-licious" I have to temper that with "Its still an xbox360" and as such still has just  360 capabilities. :)

Now when your ready to tease us with b0nerrific Xbox 720 news, I am all ears..... :)

Are you sure about that? Like I mentioned before, I picked up an Arcade Lot No:0842x everything but the power adapter checks out without actually cracking open the case.  it seems that there's some random Jaspers starting with this Lot No.

I don't even want to hear about the xbox 720 for at least another year. They haven't even gotten 360 right and you want the 720?

Not to mention there's still plenty of games out I haven't played and plenty more to come in the next 4 years before 720.
