This guy is wrong... Falcon Jtags/RGHs are highly known for red ringing from overheating, even with the 12v fan modification. After they red ring, they need to be reballed. Can be up to $65 for a reball, depending on who you buy from, and if you reball yourself, you're most likely going to screw up and ruin the xbox. Get a Falcon if you're ok with getting it reballed in the future, and paying extra money for that. Get a Jasper, they are MUCH more reliable

Do you have any experience with Falcon RGH's/JTAG's? I personally own one, Never had a problem with it until I **** with the wires -.-

My point being that they are the second best Phat console MOBO you can RGH. I suggest them if you don't want to pay extra for a Jasper, Just be sure to get a v12 fan mod. ;)

Yes, I do have a lot of experience with them :facepalm: Obviously if I'm saying this, then I know what I'm talking about. I've had three Falcons personally, 2 of them I got from walmart when they were selling the Falcon systems, so I got them new, they ended up getting modified (one Jtag, one RGH). And the 3rd system I got from a friend who took well care of it, and I left it as a retail. All three of them ended up needing to be reballed, because after prolonged use they start to wear out, and eventually they just were wore out. When that happens, they play for about 45 minutes, then overheat, and show 2 red rings, then reball them and they work perfectly fine. I simply just said, Falcons will eventually need a reball, doesn't matter what you do. But then when you reball them, you end up with no problems whatsoever. Except sometimes the boot times with the RGHed systems, but that's with all systems. I'm not a dumbass, I get personal experience with things before I just go posting. And just saying, you probably messed with the wires before it hit the point of wearing out the xbox, then got it fixed, and preventing the problem.
