Yes, RROD can be overheating related.

That only works on the very first generation of X360 and its a shit temporary "solution". I would NOT recommend it to anyone.

15 years later, one towel trick here and there and mine's still running

Red light on the psu can be a psu issue, I’ve seen that show as various rrod's before. Thermal paste is most likely dried out either way, might be worth changing it as well. Don’t do the towel trick, very damaging.

edit: as a side note,back in the day, i ended up using the towel trick about 6 times to get through gears of war 3 on my old falcon. killed the console, but worth it... nostalgia lol

Do you have the specific error code for the RROD? That will let you know exactly what the issue is.
