Hello everyone! Just wanted some feedback.

I love modding and I absolutely love helping people out with lobbies, recoveries, etc. so I'm going to put a little extra money into my jailbroken ps3 and watercool it and put it in a custom case. My Ps3 is running insanely hot and obviously I want a good lifespan out of the console so I decided watercooling would be an aesthetically pleasing route and a functional route. What are your thoughts on watercooling consoles and if you've done so to your console, post some pictures below! I'd love to see them.

Do you think it would be worth it? Ccapi is saying that my cpu is getting around 79-84 C at times and obviously that is not the kind of temps that I want out of the consoles especially if I want to keep it long term.

I see what you mean and youre making a very good point. Also, say I wanted to upgrade my hard drive space on the Ps3...How would i go about doing that without wiping off the cfw and everything that i have on it currently?

That's just effort that's just me I'm lazy at times. Just change your thermal-paste that what makes your console heat up real fast at times. Control Panel works 50% of the time as well. Cools downs your fans most of the time doesn't always work. Good luck with the water cooling. I want a ps3 custom case as well.
