I considering to build a custom water cooler (external) for my fat ps3. coz lots reported getting the ylod disease due to overheat.

so guys, need ur opinion, suggestion, expertise..i still doing my research rite now (still noob) bout this WC system.

the major prob i see rite now is finding a suitable water block and bracket, the rest i think no problem.

the mobo is look like this. 2 diagonal hole for de screw to hold the heatsink. but i don't know the dimension and size, anyone??



and yes i know to build such thing would cost me a lot (may think i crazy) and better buy a new slim PS3.

you will need a made-for-PS3 waterblock... and I think it is quite hard to get in Malaysia

yup. i guess so.

but if can get waterblock dat would cover the cpu/gpu surface should be ok. the bracket i think can fabricate or mod myself

Do you think it would be cost effective?

i think custom made by urself is cheaper solution.....(chipset waterblock)
can try looking for 2nd simple loop in garage sales

try for thermaltake tide water...cos its for moduler vga cooler...itscan fit to single gpu...never try...but have locking at google...use at xbox properly...

i found this. specially for PS3.

for a 1k plus machine that would be utterly wasting of resource time and money..might as well as keep the money and bought new machine if its breakdown.

maybe it is his hobby...

can arr bro..? never heard anyone wc a ps3 before or am i just the only one..

mesti can. just need to do some mod. btw, its a external system.

now only i know

Cool, I like DIY ppl.
B4 that i just wanna ask, PS3 got temperature viewer?
Or u gotta install the thermometer urself?

PS3 liquid cooling system? wow..1st time heard of it

user cannot view the temp. i think. just by the system. so need to probe ur own thermomtr if want to view.

act, not started this project yet, still juz an idea.

need to use temp probe laa like that.. stick it on to the chip.. then have an lcd monitor to monitor laa,

one day will be sure console gaming using liquid/water cooling method liao btw..nice idea..

theres a guy in vietnam does custom waterblocks

heck he did one in xs for a customer of his for p67 sabertooth

yup, agreed.
