Microsoft responds to Foil on Xbox360 GPU Heatsinks

Looks like Gamerscoreblog (run by Microsoft Xbox and Game employees) gave an answer about the foil found on some heatsink GPUs that was shown earlier.

“The video and photos posted by German blog GameStore24.de show thermal interface pads that are not installed incorrectly.  They are installed per specification.  This foil eliminates the need of a protective liner, which simplifies the final assembly process and minimizes shipping concerns and contamination issues.”

So there you have it, right from the MS mouth pieces.

It’s alright everyone be calm, it’s supposed to look that way.
Also check out the video.
