Water-cooling?

Is it really possible to water cool a PS2? i want to really bad

Yeah, take a garden hose. Point it at the fan hole, and turn on the hose.

There's plenty of room if you remove the stock heatsink and replace it with a waterblock, but you'll need some way to keep it attached; something like thermal epoxy comes into mind. You can keep the pump or reservoir (or skip the reservoir and just use T-lines) in the expansion bay. You may not even need a radiator! Running the lines inside of the PS2 will be the biggest hurdle though.

Its not strapped down or anything, you may be just not seing a screw?

**goodeguy** · 05-02-2005,07:38 PM

where is the screw?

I'm not exactly sure about this, but I THINK it may be riveted onto the metal shielding. If not, it's probably bonded to it with some kind of epoxy which can be overcome by freezing the entire assembly then prying the heatsink off. You'd definitely want to keep the shielding intact because it'll save some issues with mounting the waterblock onto the processing units.
