Radness: Water-cooled Xbox 360 mod
by Matt Hickey on April 7, 2008

watercooled thumb

My Xbox 360 overheats badly. So badly in fact that its best if I put it in the window next to my TV to play Halo 3, let it crash out when I’m mid-frag.

I’ve picked up the Intercooler from Amazon and it makes things a little better, but if my radiator kicks on I know I’ve got about 3 minutes until I’m kaput.

I should try something like Michael Hurt’s water-cooled Xbox. It looks great, and seems to do the trick. I love modding, especially when it’s useful.

  • Silly 360 fan boys 360’s are for kids. Stop wasting your time with this xcrock and get with the program. PS3 FTW as far as xbox and the xbox360…..That is why I have a sweet ccustom rig for pc gaming. I see the xbox as nothing more than a PC.

    • Josh, are you serious? YOU are a complete fucking retard.

      PS3 IS A COMPUTER TOO.
      Both system can do the same things, PC can do it 100000x better…

      The systems and games are created by computers..
      PS3 Sucks, XBox sucks to, but sony has no clue what they are doing. Microsoft is a Titan and they will destroy anyone.

      Also they are not “for kids” XBOX is a “Mature” console, Ps3 and Wii are more family, lmao..

      So take your fan boy shit elsewhere, calling everyone else “xbox fan boys” but it’s ok to be a ps3 fan bitch? LOL, kids…

      Anyway if you hate it so much why you even at this page in the first place, 1: NO LIFE.

  • Really? This made it here? I could put an xbox in a refrigerator and it would look much better than that. That thing is frickin’ fugly, it looks like a water cooler parasite on a xbox.

  • I’m not one that’s for console bashing, but once upon a time I was strictly a PC gamer. Nowadays the PC gaming market is dwindling down, hardly any games. Half my friends that had Xbox 360’s, including myself, had Xbox 360’s that toasted with the 3 RRoD. That is a HORRIBLE failure rate. I now have a PS3 that I play regularily and watch movies I download with.

  • compaholic I totally agree with you. I have a PS3 I wtch movies hook up my external watcch even more pr0n then I play online plkay with myself play with a friend hahahaha the possibilites seem endless with my PS3 and if I need to take it a step further I game on my RIG! wadda yah know!

  • Im not a nerdy gamer, I actually skate but love to mod stuff. I like your water cooler mod, thats sick but it prolly over heats because it sits on the floor lol

  • thats fucking queer

  • ps3’s r for litle kids and girls, look josh and Compaholic go kiss each other out of the room for a moment and let the grown ups talk for a minute ok.

  • Ps3 sucks big floppy donkey dicks plain and simple. I have had my sex box since it dropped and never had anyproblems with it. I rarely turn it off and btw the ps3’s so called blue ray sucks you just wanted it cause you couldnt afford a real blue ray player. latter bitches

  • PS3 Sucks my sac.I have 360 and ps3.The 360 kicks the shit out of ps3.The ps3 just collects dust.As for that water cooled 360 I have better looking shits than that thing.

  • Well, I’ve owned my xbox 360 for over a year and i had mine sent in to take care of it’s rrod prolem. It runs fine, but the damn intercooler attachment on the back sounds like a fucking jet turbine, and i cant stand it. I like the whole watercooling idea, although the one in your picture is #1, unsightly, and #2, imractical. here’s one that i suggest with step by step instructions. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=OTM5LDEsLGhlbnRodXNpYXN0

  • Interesting. I’m getting ready to do the same thing myself, except I’ve decided to forgo the 360 case altogether, and mount everything in a completely different enclosure. Lian-Li now makes 360 cases that have a lot more room inside.

    Thanks for sharing your photos!
