** The reason for this is unknown as the 1xxx series CBs work fine with the Elpis GPU.

Elpis is a motherboard created by Microsoft by modifying a Xenon, and has a different GPU and software. Elpis motherboards were used for refurbishing defective Xenons up until 2011.

Notable Differences

The Elpis GPU
  • The 90nm Y1 GPU has been replaced with the 90nm Elpis GPU
  • The board uses the 7xxx series CB bootloader instead of the 1xxx series used on Xenon
    • This is due to clashing of C2 GPU and Samsung QC RAM, and to ensure the correct HWINIT is used
