The Original. This is where my love for watercooling began :) |
Our Water Cooling Projects!!
I have finished this project!! This xbox 360 in a custom pc case uses water cooling to cool the gpu and the cpu processor. It also has mini fans inside to cool the ram chips. All this cooling makes the xbox very very efficient in terms of heat loss. Not much power is drawn to the water cooling system at all. (A thermaltake 745 was used in this project) All the buttons on the case such as the power button is functional and the restart button is now used as the dvd eject system. An Aqua Bay M6 has been installed to moniter the temperature of the cpu and gpu and also moniters the water level in the reservoir. If anythiing is to malfunction or go wrong, it starts to beep loudly. The DVD drive is stealthed so you cant see the dvd drive unless you eject it. See pictures on the page!!!!
This is my xbox 360 in a PC case, it has ultra violet casing and all buttons functional, like the on/off and restart button is the dvd eject button. ALSO WATER COOLED!!
i have included some pics here: the pictures use photobucket so you might not be able see the pictures if your viewing this in a school, library or any other place that can bloack websites.
^ This pic is at the begining, just a pic of the front of it! ^
^ This pic shows the inside of the case, thats where the xbox 360 motherboard will go. ^
^ ive now inserter motherboard with lots of fand, this is just to test if its going to work and hopwfully find no problems. Im sorry for taking pictures too late. i should have taken one pic at every process. ^
^ Now ive wired the eject button to the restart button on the case it self! ive also now insertered the dvd drive, i still need to put some kind of metal or plastic piece on the botton and top just to round it off. ^
^ Working!! it has come on with the on/off button on the case ^
^ Thats the water cooling radiator fan speed setter. ^
^ a tube has been insterted from the watder block to the the radiator. ^
^ All tubing moreor less complete, i need to now insert the bolts and tighten them up. ^
^ a closer look at it. ^
^ Ive done and clocked it. you can probably see the radiator fan spinning. Now just need to put the casing on! ^
^ FINISHED PRODUCT!!! (time being) clear window says it all. its really fast aswell in terms of speed and more effecient in terms of heat loss also.^
^ Another picture of it from an angle. ^
ive stealthed the dvd drive:(which you all wanted me to do)
that means you cant see it unless you press the eject button!
from the rear:
the sync button was put where the floppy drive goes:
Made a line of light (from the rol) Now you are able to detect wether the xbox is on it not!:
inserted a Aqua Bay M6 to monitor the temp and water level:
have a look through the floppy drive bay, next to the sync button:
From the inside(taken off the front case)
NOW THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS BEAST IS THAT IS ULTRA VIOLET SO WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFFF. MAAAAAN IT LOOKS SWEET.
Now when i have my frinds down, they gather round it like its some kind of concor match in primary school or something.
