Xbox 360:GPU Retrofit

This page is intended for advanced technicians only. If you do not have advanced component and BGA rework skills, you will not be able to complete the process successfully.

Some GPUs can be retrofitted onto earlier boards. This page contains instructions for what changes need to be done in order for the retrofit to work.

Modify Firmware

• Use J-Runner with Extras to dump the nand, then RGH the console to get the CPU key
• Change the type to Jasper 16MB
• Set the required XeBuild options and build the image
• Open the SMC Config Editor from the Nand menu, and update the thermal targets from the table above
• Write the nand to the console
