Now that I have my jtagged box, which I forgot how bloody hot they get (mid 70degrees F for cpu and edram etc)
I'm looking and trying to find the best way to cool them
I see theres a 12v fan mod to the original fans - tho struggling to understand the instruction and not sure how safe it is drawing power (tho now the dvd drive doesnt matter so much cos of the jtag so not end of world if it kills that)
Then theres the Whisper Fans on the back for replacing the stock ones that allegedly draw more air. Anyone here tried these out to if worth it?
Then theres also an XCM cooler which sits in the console to the right of the dvd drive? Again are they worth doing.
Alternatively, thinking though too that if plan to spend out on several fans etc, then why not go whole hog and look at how to water cool it. Would probably be worth it if it a)makes the box quiet, and b)being a xenon console with the precious jtag I want it to live as long as possible
I've never water cooled anything before mind - and can only seem to find v old info or stuff that seems to be no longer sold. Anyone know ofany good kits for water cooling
As it is at the moment I keep cringing every time the console is on for more than 10minutes while testing apps and copying files across in fear of it dying lol
