Filthy J's Wip!

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Ok so i have only done 1 360 before this one, every one said i had rushed it and the paint was not very good, so a couple 360s later im doing a new mod!


I really have no idea about whats up next except water cooling it..

Im waiting on the new water block i need:


The water cooling set up will not be internal , ill try and fit as much in side as possible or i will just make my own case for every thing!..


I chose the yellow and white color, because i love the white on the 360 and haven't seen any yellow and white xboxs and i think the color combo is unique and stuff..


So what i have done soo far:

Painted Case White (diff white)

And painted dvd (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=602193#) drive , sides and hard drive (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=602193#) a nice bright yellow)


I also put a nice simple square cut for my first *no help from daddy window*

I also did the paint all by myself also,

Let me know what you think of it..


Also i will try and post as many updates as possible, please let me know if the photos (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=602193#) are CRAP, cuz then ill go out and buy some batteries for my digital camera (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=602193#)...


Also if you dont like it then so be it, this is the best i can do with the resources i have at 13, i did this mod all my self,sanding,painting,cutting and water cooling it, so i take pride in this, but be honest, but dont go saying stupid, ****, as every one knows the case before this one (the really old one with the black paint) was not very good but i took my time and double checked everything and spent like 2hrs on the cut...


ENJOY!

[Hybrid]

Looks nice, so it's going to be yellow and white?

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Lol thanks, cuz its different, You can look at every xbox and i have been browsing i only came accross 1 XBOX 360 that was painted yellow and black,


So i made mine yellow and white lol

[sum182oftheyear]

I chose the yellow and white color, because i love the white on the 360 and haven't seen any yellow and white xboxs and i think the color combo is unique and stuff..

Hahaha I love that. Damn son you're getting good, that cut looks straight as hell from what I can see and the paint job is nice.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Lol thanks, but i aint up to lethal's standards, but i can atleast honestly say i have modded my own console lol..

[Lethal]

Your mod has caught my interest filthy. I cant wait to see this fully running with the water cooling. This is definately an improvement over your last project. I like how you are taking your time with this one. You really seemed to rush your first one.

[vtec236]

Wish i had my case so i could start my mod :-( maybe it will show up in the mail soon? who knew it would take over 9 weeks for a few cuts LOL

looking good so far

[m1ndless]

I am confused, what is a Wip?

[vtec236]

Work In Progress

[TBGixxer]

Nice mod. Do some laundry. lol!

Haha, I thought so, but I also thought he meant Whip, like term for car or something.

I like the mod but I am not diggin the bannana yellow

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Thanks for all the comments,,

Today i got some more tubing and a switch, i drilled 2 holes in my case for the tubing and i also chose a box to put all the water cooling componiants inside it..

Ill hopefully get my other water block monday or tuesday,


Il post pictures when i get all the tubing ran


Also does anyone know how to remove the bubbles from the system fast? just let it run for like 15 minutes right? make sure there are no leaks and no bubbles?

[Lethal]

Tip the pump on its side while its pumping. That will get rid of the bubbles.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Thanks....


Well know i dont know what to do. i got the caseing for the water cooling parts and since the pump is HUGE the case is bigger the 360 in height.


And im not really digging that....


And to buy a new pump , a smaller one its like 60$

[Lethal]

Well you definately want the pump to fit in the case. I suggest you put that pump on Ebay and get a smaller one. I am thinking about doing a watercooled 360 as well. I am looking for a copper radiator right now. With the heat this system produces I think the copper will definately cool the liquid faster.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Yeaa thats what i heard of, getting a copper rad, but for my first try i used an allumminem because thats the only one i could see that would be small enough for it..

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Ok so i just mounted up the gpu block and routed the tubing, the thing is i bought another pump, I was wondering if i put coolant in my system now how would it work out when i change the pump?

Would i have to flush the hole system of its coolant?

Or what? Cuz i could get this hole system up and running tonight (to test it) but then when i get my pump i would have to rewire the tubing and re route it,

so i then would i have to drain the system of its coolant?


Or could i just put a little coolant (not fill the system up) and then leak test with the pump and everything i have?

And then when my pump comes i can just re do the tubing? or would the tubing leak out coolant when i pull of the tubing from the rad,res, and the pump?

Please help i could get this thing working tonight if my questions are anwsered..

[Lethal]

Its probably best to drain everything when changing the pump. You should be using non-conductive coolant so getting a little on the board or whatnot shouldnt hurt. Just make sure you clean it all up.

Would i just drain the coolant from the res, it self right?


Also by putting like half filled res would not hurt the cooling kit right?

Like i dont want to waste the hole contaner of this coolant


n yes its non conductive..

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Im sorry i needed to let every one know that my 360 actually ran with coolant through it!!!!


Lol

I just ran it for like 10 minutes but i shut it down ill get more pictures of the 2nd block on it and everything else tomorrow or sumtin,

Hopefully ill get my new pump tomorrow then i can mount everything and run the tubing and it should be done by thursday or friday

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Ok hopefully this will be finished tomorrow, me and my dad are going to home depot for some tubing,hinges,and fittings, and it should be completely done with water cooling, and i can play it and stuff..

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Um i have a little problem, my water cooled 360 freezes and gets the over heating error..After about 5 minutes or so into gears of war, but when i play forza it does not freeze for a hole race and then some..

What could be the problem?

[Lethal]

Heat is your problem. Are your blocks fastened completely to the chips? Did you apply the right amount of AS5? Is the radiator cooling the liquid enough before the cycle?

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Is there a way to find out if the blocks are completely fastened to the chips? and i applyied AS5 right? without ripping the blocks off?

[Lethal]

I didnt understand what you said. You applied Arctic Silver 5 to both the cpu and gpu right? Also you dont want to overtighten the blocks to the chip because you can crack them. And you dont want to undertighten them because then they wont get the proper cooling. Show me a picture of your box running with the top case off.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

I meant is there anyway to tell if the thermal past is not applied right? without taking the blocks off again? i snuged the blocks up not tightend them..


here hope there good enough?

[Lethal]

The problem could be that the liquid transfering from the gpu to the cpu is too warm and isnt cooling the cpu enough. Or vice versa. I never liked the idea of sharing liquid for both chips. I always used to separate pumps for my PC with 2 radiators just for this reason.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

well f-ck this is the last of my problems..


Ok so i turned on my console and all of a sudden it just shut off i thought it was just over heating but i went in closer and i smelled like a burnt smell..

So i check the pump and tubing, nothing..

So i turned it on again keeping an eye on everything and the psu plug wher eit plugs into the mobo started smoking, so i took the mobo out and its like all dark and crispy near the psu plug UH -OH

[Lethal]

That doesnt sound good at all. Can you post a picture?

[FILTHY J NASTY]

i KNOW! LOl, im really madd, and scared right now and sad =[

Its not like any metal is touching, so i have no idea how to fix this, and when i go to turn it on its just a spark from the psu plug..

[ROBES]

[FILTHY J NASTY]

The link does not work,


I dont see how that would help though since i was keeping the 360 off the metal case, and i was holding it the air when i was testing it..

[ROBES]

it works now... make sure its in firmly so the socket cant ark. Does the socket look broken?

Are you serious?

Did you just add them to the points? that was all?

[vtec236]

looks Great nice work

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Well thanks to rdc on x-s he helped me fix my 360... but guess what i think the pump went bad..

My luck is just running out these days

[ROBES]

what ended up being the problem?

[FILTHY J NASTY]

what ended up being the problem?

There was some resude (from the spark) on the mother board that was making points connect, so i need to scrap point of the mother board to get to a part of the mother board that did not suffer from the spark and apply some rubbing alchohal..

but now my ****ing muther ****ing pump does not work errrrr:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Lethal]

Dont get disscouraged grasshopper. The only way to become a good modder is by making mistakes. This wont be your last one. The best part is that you fixed the 360. So buy another pump. Its alot cheaper than buying the 360 again......

Yea i know, but pumps are expensive like 60$ expensive.. if not more, i cant even find a nice compact one under 65$ ether..

[FILTHY J NASTY]

I guess my lucky just ran out, cuz the 360 is still over heating, i have no idea what to do within 5 minutes of gow it shuts down,

Is there a way to test the water blocks? to see if there working ok without taking them off?

[Lethal]

Put it back to stock and see if it still crashes. That should be your first step. Then if it works correctly you want to put one waterblock on the board. Either the CPU or the GPU then test it for an hour. Then put the other waterblock on and if it crashes then you found your problem.
