A new watercooling project for the Xbox 360 has come into play. This one looks a little extreme to say the least!



Anyone who visits our forum will know Ive been working on this since last December. After many delays and distractions Ive finally managed to get it finished.

Ill start by saying most of the time the noise from the 360 isnt too bad. Its comparable to a home PC or the first versions of the original Xbox and a little louder than the first PS2's. For most people the noise level is fine but I'm easily irritated. When the 360 heats up and the fans speed up it becomes annoying.

The aims of the project were to:

a) Reduce the noise level
b) See if I could do it

I was not looking to lower the temperature to improve the stability. Ive heard reports in forums of the 360 overheating but I have not noticed this myself.

lol the 360 is probably in the top most attractive consoles ive ever owned. The psone was crap, the ps2 was worse, the xbox was a brick. The best lookin console wud b the psp, but its also the worst console ive ever owned lol. But i think the 360 is a well designed console. The ps3 omg i wudnt put it in my living room lol, the rev on the other hand will id put that anywhere lol, i may even frame it, that is one nice design lol.

i wish PS3 and Revolution get such add-ons to remind us of Rocketeer.

is this a limited edition XBox360 to comemorate the launch of the rocketeer movie?

yea the REV is definantly the most attractive console ever in my opinion, how sexy does it look in white...... but yea the PS3 looks like my george forman griller and i think the X360 looks like a well used pillow with the curves in the side and all..

Heres what I dont get,

Most of the noise that comes out of my console is from the Game DVD spinning at such a high speed. Ever play an XBL Arcade game, or a game demo? Verry little noise.

It seems to me that no one else has realized this but me. The console ISN'T loud from fans, but because of the DVD drive.

:confused: :confused: Do people not see this?

lol.. you guys rock. yeah right 360 looks like a space shuttle ready to take off. looks bulky though. hmm serioulsy speaking. I have also read an article discussing about this topic and it has procedures too on how you will install that water cooling thing. (the rocket launchers) but the thing here is that you have to get the risk of opening of 360 which for sure will void your warranty. added info regarding this topic on this link (http://xbox360.qj.net/X360-Water-Cooling-Kit/pg/49/aid/13189)
