# Falcon (Motherboard revision)

**Falcon** is the codename used for the third revision to the Xbox 360's
motherboard. Appearing in September 2007, this revision reduced the CPU
die size from 90nm to 65nm, and the GPU's eDRAM die size from 90nm to
80nm.
**Falcon** is the codename used for the third revision to the Xbox 360's motherboard.
Appearing in September 2007, this revision reduced the CPU die size from 90 nm to 65 nm, and has the same Rhea GPU as the Zephyr_C.
However, unlike any Xenon or Zephyr, later productions of the Falcon also fixed the underlying cause of most RRoD issues with fixed versions of the Rhea GPU on newly manufactured consoles.

- Consoles: Arcade, Pro/Premium 20GB & 60GB, Elite 120GB
- **65nm** IBM CPU
- **90nm** ATI GPU
- **80nm** on-chip eDRAM.
- HDMI Video Output
- Consoles: Arcade, Pro/Premium 20 GB & 60 GB, Elite 120 GB
- **65 nm** IBM CPU (Loki)
- Rhea GPU
- 90 nm ATI GPU (Xenos C2)
- 90 nm on-chip eDRAM **(Styx-65)**
- Late models that were either repaired by MS or manufactured **after** May 2008 recieved fixed Rhea GPUs that addressed the low-tg underfill issue, thus not being prone to the RRoD issue.
- HDMI video output
- **175 Watt** PSU (2V rated for 14.2A, new connector)
- New CPU Heat sink + the GPU heat sink with heat pipe
- New CPU heat sink + the GPU heat sink with heat pipe
- Fewer voltage regulators, capacitors and inductors
- Bigger and enhanced **CPU cooler**
- RAM removed from bottom of mainboard on later models
- Cheaper CPU cooler made of a single alumnium block rather than using the previous heatpipe + heatfins design
- 3 pin fan connector
- Shipping with Hitachi 79, BenQ and new Lite-On 7XXX series DVD-Drive
- RAM removed from bottom of mainboard on later models
- New warranty sticker on later models
- Shipping with Hitachi 79, BenQ, and new Lite-On 7XXX series DVD-Drive


## Opus

**Opus** motherboards started to appear in July 2008, to people who had
sent in their RRoD [Xenon](../Xenon_(Motherboard).md) consoles.
The Opus motherboard is essentially a Falcon motherboard, without the
HDMI connector, so that they could fit into the original Xenon cases
they were shipped in.

All Opus motherboards also came with fixed GPUs, which means they also have similarly high reliability to Jasper/Tonasket
