Falcon is the successor to the Zephyr_C motherboard and is used in the Original Xbox 360 series.

Notable Differences

  • The 90nm Waternoose 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
  • Qimonda HYB18H512322AF-13 RAM has been replaced with Qimonda HYB18H512321BF-14
  • When the revised GPUs rolled out, Hynix HY5RS123235BFP-14 and Qimonda HYB18H512321BF-13 RAM are no longer used
  • 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 use solid state capacitors for the CPU and GPU output filters
  • The heatpipe CPU heatsink was replaced with the aluminum CPU heatsink, however some early boards did not have this change

Specifications

Opus

The Opus name describes a project of fitting a Falcon board into the casings for a Xenon. This was done with a custom A/V port, and the removal of the HDMI port. Opus was used for refurbishing defective consoles until the Elpis boards started being produced.

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 boards use revised versions of the Rhea GPU with higher Tg underfill
  • All Opus boards use 4x128MB Qimonda HYB18H1G321AF-14 RAM
