"Koolance" Cooling System for the XBox 360

There have been several articles on our blog about the importance of keeping your CPU's running temperature on the low side, and what applies to your PC also applies to your game console.

Koolance has developed a liquid-cooling system for your XBox 360. The unit comes in silver and black, and the complete kit includes the Extos-LT cooling system as well as CPU and GPU cooling blocks, an AC power adapter and mounting harder specially designed for the XBox.

While little alteration of the XBox itself is required, Koolance advises that the modifications should only be undertaken by experienced technicians. They also advise people that installation of the Koolance Liquid Cooling System voids the XBox warranty. Additionally, Koolance provides no "proprietary instructions" for the XBox modifications, nor how to attach the cooling components. In order for Koolance's warranty to be valid, their own special liquid coolant must be used - and incidentally, Koolance's warranty does not extend to the XBox.

At $394 SRP, it's almost as expensive as the XBox itself. When all of this is taken into consideration (not to mention the unfortunate experience of several owners of liquid-cooled Apple G5's), one wonders if it's worth it.

My feeling: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, if you live in a hot climate, use your XBox 360 under extreme conditions and have a high geek-quotient, you may want to consider this system.

for the price of that if my xbox is over heating i'd rather go buy a new one for the same price as this water cooling kit...or just make it internal with a 150$ pc cooling kit... this is like putting an anchor on your 360

Is this product a joke? Who in their right mind would waste $400 on this thing?

i live in death valley, where it currently reached 125 degrees today, breaking the united states record. I play my 360 outdoors, underneath a magnifying glass, for 25-30 hours straight. I have also stuffed every opening of the case with cotton, so no dust will get inside it. Also, to keep excess moisture from building up on it, I keep a hair dryer blowing on it for 12-14 hours a day. This product is perfect for me, and worth every penny
