Ok i am going to be getting a BNIB Xbox 360 from 09 here and i am going to be installing it into this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112196&cm_re=xbox_360_case-_-11-112-196-_-Product

and now here is my question does anyone know were i can get better heatsinks like computer cpu heatsinks that will fit in there perfect with the 360s layout they can be big because there is room in this case or anyone know of a good Water Cooling solution that is Cheap please let me know. Thanks. I already have a Extra Custom Power supply i am going to use on this bad boy for custom fans and led power just wondering if i should go with the heatsinks from computer ones if possible or a good water cooling approach to it. Let me know your thoughts thanks.

Sorry i missed ya post Scar, looks like no-one can help.. Sad

I wish i could help more mate but im into software more then hardware these days.. Sad.. I'm positive you could find something that will fit but it will just be alot of mucking around for you to find something unless someone has already performed this type of mod and made a tutorial for it..

I would say a idiot would have to pick something up like that. You might as well save your money and when the time does come to get a new xbox 360 then just buy another one. I was looking more tords water cooling kits for like $80-100 nothing to expensive. But thanks for looking out on that one for me i seen that one it is just to much i think.

You could always just get the special blocks and mounters for $85 and then just buy a cheap pump:http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=327

Some people can afford these things. I'm sure the price for them is so high because they are custom built for the xbox, and I bet not many people want to buy them in the first place, so they only make small amounts of them.

Just like DDR Ram prices are so high because it's old technology and they don't sell as much of that RAM. Since they don't sell as much, they don't make as many of the sticks, and the prices raise.

Scar,

the cheapest and best cooling add on you can do is

get two falcon CPU Heatsinks (the big tri fin aluminum ones) and use it for both CPU and GPU with arctic silver

and get a set of ram heatsinks from your local pc shop (usually like 10-20$ for a set) and stick them on the ram, up-scalar chip, and the xenon chip


Best Regards,
Frozenfire1

For the price of the crap they are selling for the 360, you could buy a run down old car for £50 and use the radiator from that, wouldn't look as prettey but would work just as well. You could stick a 42" plasma where the windscreen goes, take the front seats out and chill out in the back Laughing
