    Those temps are very good considering you are cooling both cores from a single block, the temps are close to my overclocked Q6600 and 8800GTX lol. Fantastic work mate.

    A very cool project.
    I'm seriously thinking about watercooling my XBOX360, since it already been in for service twice. First the DVD-Drive died and next "red-ring-of-death"....:-(

    Do you have a link for the waterblock, you've used.

    EDIT: Found the block......

    yeh the dvd drive failed on mine first. it cracked my forza disc and ring scratched heaps of others, then i got the 3 red lights. been through 3 xbox's.... dont understand why they dont change the enclosure design. same old from everyone I talk to! they always last 6months then after that problems start arising...

    Hey does anyone know the DB noise rating for the 360... in game and idle?
    I need it to compare when I get my 360 db tested

    Yeah all my friends XBoxe's have died, all within a year, main reason I wont buy one, that and I hate shooters on consoles. The red ring of death usually happens due to excessive heat weakening the solder and eventually things become detached, pretty stupid really.
