watercooled xbox worklog mmmm... cookie (warning its huge)
« on: August 16, 2011, 10:43:27 AM »
Stuff used
XSPC Xbox 360 CPU/GPU Low profile Water block   
XSPC X2O 450water cooling Pump with Acrylic Reservoir
3/8 tubes
Thermatake 120mm fan with radiator
Various barbs

Ok to start off this is not a cheap mod.
hees my stock sexy xbox that i revived from a red ring

and then changed it to blue 

stock insides
removing heatsinks

soldered uv leds


ok so now were geting somewhere. On the underside of the motherboard, near where you plug the power in, you should be greeted with this delightful array of solder joints. Most of the parts in a watercooling system rely on a molex connector which has 12V.ground.ground.5V . in this picture you can see how i wired mine up then simply solder these 4 wires into a molex connector.
Ok back to the heatsinks, after you've taken them out scrape and clean the old thermal paste off
with a nice cloth and rubbing alcohol when its alll ooober shiny add a pea sized drop of artic5 silver paste and gently coat the chips with it, to make a nice thin layer. After that bolt on the water block . Oh damn i forgot to mention i dremeled a hole out for the tubes
cut off the fins off the back, standard. draw a nice circle and cut it out with a dremel for the fan





do a nice paint job and dont forget to do the hard drive like i did


WHOA what a spectacular drawing





with matching controller
[
alright its done officialy 100% working



if anyone wants to purchase it be my guest, with controller and power cable, even throw in some batteries.

Thanks for looking, your comments and opinions are highly valued to oneself so please fear not

Theres an additive you can use to stop algae.

Hey dude are you still getting bad flow through that? I noticed in one of your pics that you have the reservoir tilted on its side so that the inlet of the pump is at the top. Thats most likely your problem.
