cool mods - the water cooled ps3

We’ve yet to hear a single complaint about Sony’s monolith overheating, but that didn’t stop PS3 fan (and dragon aficionado) Dragonpower from drilling some holes into the bottom of his PS3, running liquid coolant over the processors, and adding some extra fans just for good measure. The end result: 32ºC (90ºF, 305.15ºK) under heavy load. Oh, and it’s “almost dead silent,” which we’re assuming is a step down from “dead silent.”

    Crikey! so even with water cooling it runs at over 32-c?

    My Xbox360 doesn’t seem to get above 30c.

    Hrm.

    They even tested it at what-50c(The room was 50c, console was probably at 55c or so)-And it was still running fine. Well, PS3 was…Not so sure about 360…

    Bob, are you kidding? 32C is a great temperature. If your Xbox360 ran at 30C on stock, it would be cool to the touch. That’s ridiculous and impossible, especially for the Xbox.

    32C is ridiculous thats a great temperature. Most of the PS3’s I’ve seen have been running way over that. As for the 360’s they run way hotter as well
