Notable Differences

  • The 90nm Waternoose2 CPU has been replaced with the 65nm Loki CPU
  • When the revised GPUs rolled out, around March 2008, all board started using Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM in a 4x128MB config
  • Around March 2008, fixed GPUs started being used
  • The CPU voltage regulation is now 2 phases, down from 3 phases, but the pads and silkscreen for the third phase still remain
  • The board layout has been modified to support the 65nm CPU
  • Other small changes were made to the board layout
  • The J7G3 Titan connector on the front of the motherboard was left on the final motherboard
  • Some later boards used solid state capacitors for the CPU and GPU output filters
  • The heatpipe CPU heatsink was replaced with the aluminum CPU heatsink

Specifications

Opus

The Opus motherboard is exactly the same as the Falcon, with exception to a custom A/V port that is installed, and the removal of the HDMI port. These modifications allow the Opus to fit into the casings for a Xenon. This was used for refurbishing defective consoles until the Elpis boards started being produced. The part number is also the same as Falcon.

Notable Differences

  • Removal of the HDMI port
  • Custom A/V port to fit the HDMI board layout while being able to fit into the Xenon casing
  • All Opus' use 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
