Sadly no more pic guys...I already close the XBOX and will be delivered to my friend tomorrow

but will mod mine as soon i buy a new one.. icon_rolleyes.gif


but here's a tip:

Just stick the X-clamp (the x- clamp is useful after all...hihihi) to the heatsink using 3M double sided tape (or any double sided tape)

And screw the X-clamp to the steel case...All screw are provided in the Cooler Master kit

The only extra is the washer and 4 long screw (long enough to be screw on the metal case,this is for the heatsink with pump install in it)...that's all

as for the GPU the water block is perfectly fit as the gab between the DVD-Rom is enough for the water block to be install.


Thanks for the support....Do free to PM me about the water cool project,be happy to help but don blame me if anything happen K. laugh.gif

so how much do i need to pay u for this ? biggrin.gif

Hold down ur horses man...I don wan to offer any service to mod it yet cause i need to do few test on it first.

Anyway what happen to ur XBOX ? If u having 3ROD I suggest u change the X-Clamp first u can find the tutorial some where in this forum that's is the cheap way to fix it

But if the X-Clamp replacement did not fix the the Problem and u fell your world is DOOM mad.gif without your XBOX360 then we'll start to talk bout water cool it...

wow nice mod bro hahaha where you located i come kaypoh kaypoh

Wa lau eh rclxub.gif ..No problem also want to mod meh biggrin.gif

answer to ur question:
1)I not quite free right now cause in busy with Raya sales at my car accesory shop (location Serdang)
2)U don hav to change the X-clamp if u wan to do water cooling,cause u gonna throw the ori heatsink or post it back to M$
3)u don hav to mod if the BOX do not hav problem.


4)This is the list if u want to mod the skin
a)Chrome front panel can get from http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-dg-49-en.html
b)carbon sticker RM 38 ( can get from my shop)
c)Orange Taneka sticker rm 5 (also can get from my shop)
e)my worker charge rm 50 for the skin making (very difficult job, especially the breather hole)
So skin total is RM163

5)For water cooling
a)Cooler master Aqua gate Viva Duo RM 285 OR
Thermaltake Tide Water rm RM330(+ rm 140 for Thermaltake Aqua Blazing CPU waterblock,I'm gonna use this unit on my upcoming project.Coming to u soon brows.gif )
b)Zalman ZM-RHS1 Aluminum Passive VGA Memory Cooler RM36
(I did not use this on my 1st project...not must but recommended)
c)Nyko cooling Fan for Xbox (very hard to find) est rm80
( i can take power source from the DVD-Rom but risky)
d)PC molex..this one cheap ,my house got many
e)workmanship rm (haven tinkin bout that yet cool2.gif )
so total Water cooled is RM 400 (for coolermaster unit)

think harder man..water cooling is not cheap toy to play with.Try to get your own stuff better.Maybe u can get them much cheaper then my price.
but i'll will only be free after Raya.So do ur shopping Now thumbup.gif

Maybe I can try to venture into this as I already has the water pump, the radiator and the reservoir. I'm just looking for waterblocks, been looking for Koolance but very hard to get it mail to Malaysia. Since you recomended the Cooler Master, why not.
*
Wow the legendary tot31..come to see my Frankenstein cool2.gif
yalo very hard to find thing in malaysia...no demand i think..i like to say something in the Cooler master unit
if u closely exam one of the picture u can see that on the CPU side the water block tubing is blocked by on of the "Kapasitor"(indon slang)
So u need to bend it aside.bid tricky there.

Good luck.

Edit : Just ordered one from CCOM at level 2. They're selling for RM285. Nice

so tot31 and lksing78 for watercooled mod is better than any fan mod???

thanks

OK how do I explain this on..I'll try my shot k
tot31 if u read this back me up ok..

OK do u know ATI latest high end graphic the HD2900XT(do search on the internet about this latest beast)..Well the GPU of this baby is almost the same as the GPU on the XBOX360 unit
the different is the ATI HD2900XT can render DX10 but on the XBOX360 it can render only DX9..but as for the raw power there are almost the same

as u can see on the ATI HD2900XT a large heatsink is place on it to cool down the GPU and they use fan on this
which is for XBOX360 the M$ people use a very cute little heatsink to cool down the GPU and also use under power fan and that little cute heatsink is not even enough to
cool down the GPU inside the BOX.not even the new improve heatsink on Elite is enough.People in Singapore already become a victim for 3ROD in Elite unit.And one of
them claim the play it for only one week..Suwei Gile lah tu vmad.gif

That is why people realize that the GPU need to be cool by other method..that is by water cooling it.Which is the Best and Risky solution for now.

yep tot31 i pretty interested if the watercooling solution can solve all the issue on the xbox360 permanently and with the price tag around rm400 that u guy mention it seem pretty good solution.
*
I like to point out that this is not 100% guarantee on solving the 3ROD on XBOX360 but it is the BEST and RISKY(a minor pin hole on the water hose can blown ur XBOX360 to sky high) method to minimize the 3ROD to strike back.

WARNING : Do not bring your XBOX360 to LAN party as it will possibly damage the water tubing while transfer process is being carried out. biggrin.gif

Hahahaha just kidding there biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I attach some of the picture of my project...So look carefully and you'll know how's it's done. biggrin.gif
