Spider Chip

[Mikebyrne000]

Is the Spider Chip really solderless for V6 Xbox's and if so, is the chip any good???

[TylerDurden]

Yeah I havent dont much research on it but I just dont like the idea of exposed wires that are bent around too much. Maybe someone can shed more light on this one.

Yeah me either. Does anyone know if its hard to place the wires in the holes??

[Quall999]

Hmm, the holes are small, but I can see them popping out without the aid of hotglue or something like that. I hot glu my soldered points anyways though. I'm with Tyler though, exposed wires are very bad. If it touches a leg of a chip on the mobo or something.....

[Mikebyrne000]

I agree. Im chiping my friends V6 xbox and don't know what chip to use. Dont want to solder anything

[Quall999]

well, you can always plaster beneath the wires with electricians tape. It should be fine, just may look a little wierd. But, I would highly recommend buying a hot glue gun and use it to keep all the points in place. You can always peal it off.

I just hotglued my whole wire. It's not very long and it worked great. I wire is all encased in the glue.

[TylerDurden]

Hot glue is great but I also worry about using too much as it can insulate certain parts of your motherboard. You dont want to have a heating issue as well.
