Xbox 360 Watercooled CPU and GPU

Xboxexpert from the Xbox-Scene forums wrote an in-depth article for those of you who want to watercool your Xbox 360's CPU and GPU but aren't quite sure how to do it. Before you get started, the parts you will need:


* Thermaltake CL-W0042 Rhythm Home Theater DVD Style External Liquid Cooling System
* KOOLANCE GPU-180-L06 GPU Chipset Heatsink
* KOOLANCE GPU-180-H06 VGA CARD GPU WATERBLOCK 1/4" ID
* 10ft of 1/4" ID 3/8" OD PVC Clear Tubing

Another user, G0t M4xx 21, is working on his own case mod to be used with 360s that are watercooled this way. His case will have windows, a blue ring of light, and even blue hard drive lights. Together, these mods will definitely give you the coolest looking 360 on the block.

...having two towers standing in my entertainment center....and suppose the system crashes and need to send it to xbox center, my warranty will be void....

this mod isnt useless, people mod and do things simply BECAUSE THEY CAN and that its possible, modding is not always about being practical and kissing the a55 of other peoples wants and requests.



your supposed to be original when modding and something good should come of it.



This man wanted to do a water cooling system that no one has yet, even though there are other types of water cooling systems done for the 360 this one hasnt been done yet, this man reached his goal of succesfully doing his mod and cooling his 360 in a unique way.



people just need to get their heads out of their asses and be open minded.

# you are calling that guy original?Vecha 2006-04-16 05:56
sure...watercooling something is soo orginal and never has been done in human history! BRAVO!



"people just need to get their heads out of their asses and be open minded."



open minded?...wow it isn't like this is a religion. Guess what people can have their own opinions. And I agree with other people..it is useless. How about you be a lil open minded and get YOUR head out of the modders ass.

# NOT A STUPID MOD BUT...Guest 2006-04-16 08:28
POSTING IT HERE AS NEWS IS STUPID.



AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED MOST MODS DO NOTHING OR ARE JUST FOR LOOKS.



VECHA GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA THE INTERNET'S ASS.



EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT 90% OF THE INTERNET IS USED FOR PEOPLE THAT CANT VOICE THEIR OPINIONS IN REAL LIFE TO VOICE THEIR OPINIONS TO STRANGERS ONLINE.



YOU PROBABLY THINK WATER COOLING PC's ARE USELESS TOO.



COOLER ELECTRONICS = HAPPIER ELECTRONICS



THAT INCLUDES ELECTRONICS THAT DON'T HAVE A TENDENCY TO OVERHEAT. ***** IF I WAS RICH I'D HAVE A WATER COOLED AMP, DVD, SAT RECEIVER AND EVEN TV.



WASTE OF MONEY BUT DEFINETELY NOT USELESS

# about modding in generalGuest 2006-04-16 17:27
It is true that modding is modding under a general definiton, but modding a pc and car way different. Who ever said that they are the same, do you even own a car? At least a car has real world uses. Real mods for cars far surpasses any practical use you will get out of a computer or 360. Are you gonna talk to a girl and say, hey babe I got water in my 360? Nuff said kids.

I haven't received spam since I joined...



maybe i have a good filter...



anyway..I think the reason some of the 360s are overheating and breaking down is that they are faulty...



I play my 360 for hours on end...and nothing has ever happned..
