I love finding these old posts where you see so much badmouthing over a hack being “useless” and how “microsoft would have added a couple of extra fans if cooling were a problem” when a system is first released. Then after a year or two and the known issues come out of the woodwork… well, how’s it feel now to have been proven absolutely 100% wrong guys? This actually just saved my 360. Just goes to show that the ones that want to complain because someone does something different are showed the error of their ways in the end.

I’m on my second 360 because the first one FRIED, even with an intercooler on it. The 360 is a 4 core heater (3cpu 1 gpu) quite capable of heating a small apt all by itself. I spent 50 bucks on a replacement plan for my first 360, but I’m not going to waste anymore money on stupid servie plans, when I could keep the dang thing from overheating in the first place. I have an Elite now, but as soon as it’s out of warranty I’m going to water cool it, cause there’s no sense in the inadequate cooling it has to begin with. I’ve watercooled 2 of my 3 pc’s, and would watercool the 360 right now if it didn’t void my warranty. And seriously unless the 360 is going to stay put, then leave it as stock cooling. IMO if you’re moving your 360 around all the time, then your just asking for problems, even with stock cooling. I clean out my pc’s about every 6 mo’s, and they don’t get anywhere near the runtime that my 360 gets, and they’re absolutly caked with dust before I clean them. any heatsink should be cleaned frequently, and if it’s external, you can just use some compressed air, and never open the dang thing again.

You would think the 360 would come with cooling good enough to support it. If the heat was a problem microsoft probally would have added a couple more fans. Unless they’re overclocking or something imo this is pointless.

Great mod. I’ve been looking for somthing to dampen the deafing sound coming off that thing. This might be the way to do it.

IF it’s not done, then hack a day should not post it.

STill, the quality of work is really sh!tty. I mean, the holes drilled… the alignment and it really looks like the waterblock is going to crush the cores…

This is utterly useless…. PC watercool for quiet overclocking…. and the Xbox can neither be overclocked or is it loud.

VERY stupid, idiotic and again, 300 bucks?!?! IDI0TIC if you ask me when the koolance blocks you use are very bad performing… so no overclocking here…

Man, this mod is wicked!
You’ve made us proud. Also you gotta have some balls to thrash a XBOX360 like that! Too bad it’s a little steep to put that thing together, or else i’m sure a lot of those critics would STFU.

Good job!

I’m sure that those of you who chose to slam this mod for being useless could find many other mods and hacks on this site that you *could* call useless for all the same reasons.

Hacking and modding shouldn’t be limited by what is and is not useful, but rather by what is and is not possible.

Your cynical comments, imho, hurt the very spirit of the matter.

Useless hack IMHO. For what it?! For overclocking?!

no point if removing the serial numbers if you leave the barcode, containing the exact same number. :-)

The only morons are those that have nothing better to do than trash other people’s work.
