Title: My watercooled 360
Post by: Neubit on November 16, 2007, 01:21:36 AM

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shinden.com%2Fimages%2Fkey.jpg&hash=df8d40dac164de4b330c9415868519c54fd4dbf0)
(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 locked 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.

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.

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 :D

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