Water Cooled Xbox 360

[tinytomlogan]

Yes you did read the title right!

This was brought up in a forum thread and I was asked if I had a build log on here so Ill just post you some pics to look at.

Its my 360 Premuim rehoused into a black case with custom pc watercooling parts. This was done way before the Elite was released too

The 360s have 2 main problems, heat, and what the X clamps do to the mobo when it all does get hot.

So this is my way of curing both, not had any problems with it either.

Hoping to re-home it in a Lian Li case very soon but heres the Mk1 version of my 360........

There you have it, didnt take that long and is actualy quite a simple job.

This was what got me hooked into watercooling.

What do you lot think.....

Wow, thats very nice... Shame theres no overclocking benefit but i guess it shld stop the Red ring..

That's real tidy mate, like it

The hose is long cos now Ive finaly moved the reserator is under my desk.

The ring of death is heat or warped mobo alot of the time from the X clamps.

Ive not got X clamps and this is kept nice and cool

Looking forward to Mk2 now..............

That is sweet mate...real nice. Personally I'm not a big fan of Koolance gear for water-cooling, but hey it does the job. Keep us posted on the Mk2 and make sure there's plenty of pics pls

Koolance make an Xbox 360 kit and their blocks fit the 360, I assume that's why you've used them?

Ah, cheers for posting this.

Really nice job. Did you form the case yourself?

Actually looked up WC 360's after your post, and yours actually is one of the nicest looking ones.

Looks good

Good idea sticking it inside a Lian Li That would be cool to see

I actualy built this before Koolance realised there was a market for it.

The Koolance gear would never make it into my PC but the slimline block is perfect for under the dvd drive and the other block with the rotating compresion fittings just helps with hose routing.

There are a couple of 360 specific all in one blocks now, Mk2 if all goes to plan will be a little more unique though.

Thanks for the comment Pseudonym, I bought the case mate nice and easy

My 360 is just clean and tidy nothing too mental. The way I like it

Saw this at Cebit.

Look really cool.

Be buggered, I didn't realise that Koolance did that...just wow!!

Regardless the 360 looks sick in its present form - grats
