i don't have any experience with liquid cooling system, but from my knowledge you may only need to custom build the bracket that will hold the waterblock... my question, cheapo waterblock will do any good than the ps3 stock heatsink?

i would love to build one but it seems like the cost to build it might even reach the price of a new ps3.. waterblock x2(as you need to put it on the RSX&CELL proc RM2++/each, pump RM2++, tubing etc...

i'm not discouraging you, for sure the ps3 will look kick ass with those tubing smile.gif .. do tell me if you found cheap waterblock+pump wink.gif

definitely the cost won't be cheap. most of the time ppl build WC for their pc to look cooler not the temp. tongue.gif

for now no time to even start the project. just using my slim ps3, the fat just sit in the rack. haha

H50 sounds nice and compact but need to buy two of it.. one for CPU and one for GPU.. no need much diy skill, just a know how to fix that damn heatsink to the processor will do. current cost:~RM700

we wont be worrying much of rrod/ylod if sony/ms implement the socket type processor/GPU. when everything is soldered, there is high chance of the solder to crack when the mobo is warping. haih, they just care to make money. mad.gif

will try doing more business to earn RM700..hehe..yeah sony should realise they had a faulty designation of CPU and GPU also heatsink..even PS3 use Cell CPU that is same like PC CPU..but the operating temperature was ridiciulous man..even high quality TIM also suffer to dissipate the heat..

i'm bored and curious...any malaysian had any success water cooling ps3 espcially phat version ???

most setup pretty much simple but costly since most setup uses external cooling such as reserator and such.

the major heat also from the Harddisk, try convert to SSD to reduce the heat generated by the Harddisk, that can much reduce the overall heat for your console... you may found that water cooling is not needed actually...
