Thanks, i done some testing today aswell, and after 8 hours straight on Final Fantasy 13, the console temperatures were:

CPU: 46.4, GPU: 38.0, EDRAM: 37.4, MB:34.4

Quite a success in my opinion.

Very nice, can we get some more pics of the overall install, not so close up?

I'm debating whether to do this, or go the huge heat sink route.

What I'm after really, is silence plus decent temps. What's it like on that score?

Very nice....what mobo revision is it?

I have a jtagged xenon myself, plus I happen to have all the kit for a watercooling setup. Now that I've got rid of the DVD drive, I could go this route as well, but keep it in the original case....


Its a falcon, personally i love it, i mean its not the most silent setup due to using AC Ryan 2500rpm fans, however because there 12v, its not even as loud as 12v stock fans.

Personally i would go for the watercooling, the setup cost me around £200 because i got most of it second hand here, and the only things that cost me were the fans, and cosmetics, and memory heatsinks.

Runs very cool, and stable, which is what im concerned about.

Will post up some pics in a few minutes of the install, bear in mind i still need to sort some wiring.

Overall, its not as loud as 12v stock fans, however because im using a push pull system with 12v AC Ryan 120mm fans, there the loudest part of the system. The pump is quiet, and overall when i have my 5.1 surround sound system on, even on low i cant hear the xbox.

Its not that loud, and a very good system for temperatures.

I will take take some pictures later, bear in mind the wiring needs a bit more work, its still in testing as its only been assembled now for 24 hours.
