My watercooled 360

[Neubit]

Ok guys I'm back, and here is a little something ive been working on during my disappearance, I'm sure some ppl knew that i was going to watercool my 360, since my first rig fried i got a little obsessed with the whole watercooled xbox business and here is what i came up with. Most parts are form Koolance. No inside pict because i havent documented much, if fact any of the building process but im still going to cut the DVD drive and change the lighting so if i dont forget to take pictures i will post em in the future

P.S.

Current case mods:
- Case sprayed matte black
- HDD Window
- HDD Activity LEDs
- Case Window
- ROL swap red to white, green to blue
- Ultraviolet LEDs in the case
- Xbox security/LEDs switch (Military style)
- CPU Temperature sensor

Watercooling features:
- Koolance heat sinks GPU/CPU
- Exos LT External radiator/reservoir/pump
- Koolance quick disconnect valves
- Zalman extreme Thermal paste
- Thermal Take UV reactive cooling
- Blue UV reactive piping/coils
- Koolance flow meter

Average operating temperature: 46°C

To Do:
- Rewire Leds using straight circuit strips
- Wire Overheating auto shutdown feature to Xbox power button
- Power the Exos using Xbox's power supply
- Install Security power switch (Turned on using a Key) to prevent unauthorized use of the console, accidental poweron without the Exos turned on.

[Neubit]

Yeah not very portable, but i never take my console anywhere, just play it at home so that was one of the reasons i didnt go all internal

[simcityltd]

Looks Cool Neubit, Great Job! 

[Skullmaster]

so whats the grand total spent to do that? You have specs for like the air temp inside? Just want to compare it to my air temp.

I cut the original xbox fan in 2 and now there is only one fan that blows into the xbox to cool down the ram chips because i have attached copper heat sinks to all the chips. The temperature at the cpu measures at 46 degrees celcius tops when i play games, and the temps are always stable. Watching a dvd i get a solid 35 degress and in standby mode 30-33 degrees.

Awesome, makes me wanna buy a 360 :o

[Neubit]

Awesome, makes me wanna buy a 360 :o

[N7kheriford]

[Neubit]

Since i got the idea it took two months, saving money, planning, picking parts, waiting for parts to arrive, case modding, wiring leds, figuring out how and where to place all components, testing and testing some more, then finally assembling it all together, taking it apart, fixing coolant leaks, putting together again.

[Skullmaster]

How did you spray paint the power button cause it has the clear acrylic in the middle...?

[Neubit]

I bought a aftermarket faceplate, on those the acrylic is removable

[Skullmaster]

that sucks..... I tryed getting the stock acrylic out but was unsuccessful. If anyone can get it off without wrecking it majorly let me know! 

[Ilzwalrus]

Welcome back dude.

That looks freaking sick. I <3 it.

[Azie139]

[Professor Fate]

[Neubit]

nice!  finally got tired of that thing overheating I see.

Yup,  its my second box, first one self destructed lol

[Neubit]

How many hours extra do you think you could play on the watercooled xbox compared to a normal one?

A lifetime :p The overheating problem is completely overcome, i did it on a fresh box with less then 5 hours of play before the cooling was installed, and so far so good.

[funnybutrandom]

not saying it will but what you going to do if the 3 red lights show up and cant be fixed ?

[Neubit]

[PsychoticWolf]

hey Neubit, Tell me more about the security feat. Cuz I dont like by bros playing it with out asking.

[Neubit]

Hey Wolf, long time no see, i was just replying to your pm but i thought id say hi here

My Security mod idea is to use a key switch to control one of the power points at the power connector on the motherboard.


(i have one already but haven't had the chance to install it)

There are also points that you can mess with and create the RROD but without damage to your console, so lets say you the xbox with the key and someone tries to turn it on it, will give them the 3 red lights, but turn the key and the box turns on like nothing was ever wrong.

Haha, I like that idea!

[cwn723]

awesome mod...

[i22foosh]

Whats watercooled?

[Reaper]

Whats watercooled?

an apparatus that uses an aqueous solution conducted through an arrangement of conduits routed to various heat sinks with the intention of transferring heat away from vital components inside a piece of equipment... duh

[pinoyballa]

Lol, do you know that Koolance actually makes a commercially available water cooling kit for 360 now?

Check it out

Btw, urs is 100 times better.

[seikene]

Wow, tricking your friends into beleiving that your console ain't working, ain't that a modder's dream :P. It would suck if your friends or brothers like taking things into their own hands and also are dumb enough to realize that a watercooled xbox sent into the microsoft corporation would piss them off more then the release of HaloDS.

Dude im :censored:ing retarded... What does that mean? All i understand is that something is moving all the heat away from the vital components and thats all.

Also, how much did it cost you neubit?

HaloDS?

please god tell me your kidding

[i22foosh]

please god tell me your kidding

In NOT kidding. Now i know, the 360's heat is removed because the 2 wires suck up the heat, and 1 may blow cool air in the 360, so ill never overheat, and you can get blind faster

How much did it cost?

How much did it cost?

why dont you click the link that was provided earlier and find out.

[i22foosh]

Wow it costs almost as much as the xbox to buy a new kit. I think its more
