Ill ship it to micorsoft first that way i can still use the 2 years left on the warranty. But ill keep that in mind if it happens after. So do you know what causes the ring of death to appear and why the towel trick seems to temporarily fix it?

The X-Clamps that hold the heatsinks on are horrible. When the system starts to get hotter because of the horrible thermal paste they used, the clamps warp, causing the heatsinks to no longer cool the GPU and CPU properly. Hence the 3 red lights error. I'm honestly not sure why the towel trick works though.

I think the inter-cooler fans I bought are helping it out a lot, but thats jsut my theory. I've heard the coolers also cause the 3 rings aswell but I guess mine was done right or I'm just lucky.
*knocks on wood*
I had a friend who's died and he cracked it open to sodder the wires back on. bad move. Didn't work for long and no warranty for him. Another one of my friends had his die and the towel trick worked for him until the "coffin" came.
