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.

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

i found this. specially for PS3.

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

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.

yup, agreed.

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

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

as i mention earlier this just a diy hobby and just assume i got enough money.. fyi, i oso own a slim ps3..if u notice few ps3 slim reported had gotten the ylod.

i considering to buy used water cooling system to start this project
