well i have an original 2005 xbox, just replaced the cd drive the other day and realised the xbox has never been repaired, do you think its worth replacing the x-clamp and also put in the revised heat sink? i have both so would be able to do this now? or wait till it gets 3 red lights

Thanks
Dan
edit: mine dosnt have the extra heatsink microsoft added to aid cooling

If it aint broke...

No point potentially breaking something else, I'd just leave it if it's working fine.

Don't bother with the XClamp fix, it'll fuck it up in the long term.
Sure its worth adding the extra heatsink though.
