Anyone watercooled their Xbox 360?

Kinetic^ · 2008-01-27 21:36:14

Just wondering is anyone has done this? I'm considering doing it to one my 360s as it's just too loud to play late at night without waking people up. :(

Seems a bit OTT to be honest.

Although look here

Yeah I read a few of the threads on that site today, some good stuff. A lot of what they've done is overkill tbh, I'd be using a pre-built external kit.

Like I said before, it's too loud, this is to make it quieter. Not doing it just to see if it can be done, I know it can be done but this mod serves a purpose.

I have 2, 1 PAL premium & 1 NTSC-US arcade........what seems to be the problem? Surely I can spend my money however I like?

I also have a PS3, are you mad over that too? :rolleyes:

Leave the guy alone. He is not an idiot just because he doesnt see the merit in console modding. I know a lot of people who were frankly scared when I mentioned that I had chipped a few consoles. I think they slept clinging onto their xboxes that night. I guess with PC modding, its so common now that everyone knows about it. Console modding, well its still a surprise to some people that it can be done at all.
I lvoe the idea of this water cooled xbox though. Hope it works out for you and I want a runbook with lots and lots of piccies. And a spare 360.

And a blowjob.

I understand that he may not see the merit in console modding, but what I dont understand is why he feels to insult the guy that is doing the modding.

Comments like "im in a blind rage here" and "im so ****ing angry", why post in a console modding forum if it enrages you??

Worse than trolling IMO.

Kker, the guy got banned. This thread has been pulled off topic enough! Its actually a pity. I thought Jrad was pretty funny. Cant believe he C worded up the place. But yeah, Kenny5. How goes it? Any updates? Maybe furnish us with other modding ideas floating around your brain while we wait for news and instructions.
Please teach me how to void my warranty!

Hopefully picking up some new tubing today. I've no other ideas as to modding, I'm doing this from a practicality point of view, not just because you can watercool it.
