I Bought a LIQUID COOLED Xbox One S from eBay...

So I bought this liquid cooled Xbox One S from eBay... I was very surprised to see a liquid cooled Xbox One S on eBay, but it was up for auction so I snagged it. It uses an all-in-one Corsair liquid cooler solution, and basically that solution was bolted onto this Xbox One S motherboard. It is definitely pretty rough, but it's one of the coolest custom Xbox One S consoles I've ever seen.

While this mod is useful for keeping APU temperatures down, I'm mighty concerned about airflow over and subsequent cooling of the Memory, PSU and VRMs.

[@omegamark4155]

Yes, no blower fan is just a timer before this thing dies.

[@whereyouatfadeey]

either way this idea is basically useless on any xbox one/ series console because i never sa one of those overheat but this whould make much more sense on a ps4/pro because i seen a lot of them with overheating issues after 1-2 years of use and i also had a ps4 pro that started overheating after 1 year, cleaned and replaced thermal pads-/paste twice and it still hadn't changed anything

[@Fusion05]

@@whereyouatfadeey the PS4 series of consoles was more aggressively overclocked if I remember correctly. The Xbox had a more conservative approach

[@taylorstock6044]

@@Fusion05 Both the GPU and the CPU on the Xbox one were clocked slightly higher than the PS4, but it only had 12 GPU compute units versus 18 on it PS4, which is where the extra power and heat went.

[@LG1ikLx]

Yh I was thinking that. The cooling set up for these consoles is built to ventilate the hole console as this water cooling solution isn't built for it and likely just bolted straight onto the motherboard for aesthetic appearance. No way is it as efficient as the original design. I would pay around $100 for that console just to strip for parts 😂

[@wmv8996]

Would be awesome if someone made case replacements for the new xboxes that were completely transparent. Trying to do it for ps5 would be really difficult.

[@paulheap1982]

@@sverige7586 he said case, not covers, genius.

[@AthosJosue]

Is not a bad idea, without the RGB and window and with clean cuts it could be a cool modification.

[@henriquehff]

One thing i would improve was to add a heatsink to the memory chips and put the radiator right above the opening of the original fan, the original cooling system was also refrigerating the ram, psu and other components, so if you remove the air flow from these components it will probably burn over time

[@Deus_wukong1468]

These bots are starting to get out of control.

[@TokeAboutIt]

I also did this to my Xbox One S. As far as the cuts not being straight it is due to the material that they use. The material melts away while using a Dremel. After it melts it welds itself back to the material making it very hard to remove and get a clean cut. Even after sanding for hours I got a similar result.

[@hove131]

I've done many custom One S's. You can get a very straight line on the cutouts. Just takes patience and finishing it off with a hand file.

[@philsinclair]

Someone has tried to reinvent the wheel with additional lights, bells and whistles

[@user-hd9xd2qm3s]

when making those cuts via cutting tool to the case you should file the rough edges off with a file then sand the edges with a fine sandpaper to make it all smooth and a much more perfect cut. most dont.

[@EdnovStormbrewer]

That seems cool and everything. One problem i do see in the future is that no cooling fans are present inside to cool the surrounding components.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

11:38 the Only benefit is that it runs quieter, Or should anyway. Unlike typical CPU's APU's Or Gpu's ect, consoles APU's do not "boost" the core clocks, They run at a locked "pace" so you wont gain any actual performance doing this. In fact you May actually lose some do to inadequate cooling for the memory chips and PSU. But it looks cool. I would recommend finding a way to mount the fan Under the radiator so that it is pulling air through the console and blowing through the rad. This will help get some of that airflow inside the console back that was lost by removing the original style fan. If you wanted to go a step further with this mod, you could get some of those universal tiny heat sinks and some thermal past and place them on the memory and such. You could also Dremel the case where the radiator mounts and allow the fan to breath free, increasing airflow all around (especially if you mount the fan under the rad against the case).

[@cirial5577]

Wow - I cant believe someone spent time actually doing this to their console.

To get good cuts with a dremel, cut the hole smaller and hand file it the last couple of millimetres..

[@ericrichardson3332]

I'd lose the leds and the viewing window move the cooler to center over the existing circular fan vent , leave the power , eject , and sync functions intact and then it would be a very cool console pun intended

[@zachnuketown]

That's pretty funny. As you pulled out the blue controller with no grips I had the same blue controller in my hands with no stick grips from my lab puppy lol.

[@xxshiftywolfxxgaming1142]

It's funny how back on the 360 you could solder the wires for the rgb but now people just run the USB cable out the back. I did this on the Xbox 360 and it lookd great with no wires showing

[@MrConsoleSpot]

you still can, the man who half assed this mod just was too lazy to multimeter around for the proper voltage and probably dont know how to solder

[@afreshreaction]

woah that controller without any grips is a clean job! i prefer having no grips as holding a controller for like 5/10 minutes makes my hands sweat like no tomorrow and makes it hard to get precise movement with joystick grip

[@mcmatthewchase]

I'm pretty sure I could do a better window. I've never done it but have some ideas to keep the lines straight and a better way to secure the plexiglass

[@Notpoop906]

I noticed that too. I have never seen a clean window cut on one of these custom consoles 😂I think people underestimate that part and just yolo it with a dremel or a jigsaw. You can make clean cuts with a dremel cutting wheel and the filing tips. You just have to mask the area up and actually measure it so you have areas marked out in pen with a straight edge that you can file upto the edges of to ensure it's as clean as possible. You will never get a clean cut just trying to yolo it in one move. You gotta measure it out and mark it correctly so you can accurately file the edges down with a hand file or a dremel attachment at a low speed. You'll also never be able to file straight edges by eye. You really need masking tape and a pen to file upto or it will just end up wobbly.

[@Muzza2280]

the missing piece on the back is just a pain in the butt clip when taking apart the one s as the bottom comes off first.

[@DJHeroMasta]

You should flip that fan upside down so that it's extracting the heat (heat rises) vs blowing down into the case.

[@PrimordialOops]

I am designing how I am going to do the same thing. I have made notes on this and will try to build a cleaner version that doesn’t lose features.

[@unboxingmaniae.t9981]

the fan is wrong side if you want to push the air outside the console you have to turn it upside down, in this position the air goes inside the console

[@DJHeroMasta]

I was confused for the first two minutes as I assumed this was a "Series S". Makes sense now. I was trying to figure out why the seller gave you an old controller with a "new" system hahaha.

fan is mounted wrong, should be flipped so the ugly side is facing up as thats the side most pc fans push air out of, it does depend on fan blade orientation but again most pc fan blades follow the standard orientation

[@TonyFordDotNet]

You can also replace that 120mm fan with a Delta 120mm 240 FCM can if you want even better cooling. I have a 2TB SSD in mine, but I tossed my heat sink not knowing how hard it would be to find an option to use a PC heat sink so mine is not being used but still functional.

[@omegamark4155]

10:35 Ugh, 2 point mounting and no X clamp. Also, this is a PC cooler, so the seller probably just eyeballed the clearance. He mounted it straight to the thin motherboard, not the metal frame on the back (9:52). This thing could be mounted too weak or too hard, resulting in a possible warping of the board and weakened solder joints. I'm surprised this thing survived shipping. You are going to have problems with this down the road. Also, if you are not going to return it, I would recommend swapping the battery covers, so the black one goes with the blue controller.

Also for me if I was the one to do a mod like this I think I would go a different route with the cooling lines as I would shorten them and send it straight down into the console instead of the side just to keep the hose safe from being damaged also would add a drain port somewhere I myself have wanted to water cool a series s or x iv looked at different ways to do it and when I have the funds to do it I plan to start with the series and well since the Xbox series generation uses a custom ryzen chip and the series x has RDNA2 built into that custom chip I feel these new gen consoles could possibly benefit from being cooled by an all in one cooler also for anyone thinking to water cool and Xbox series x make sure you get those ram chips to don’t want those to over heat😂
