Can The Xbox Series X Be Water Cooled?

Just like the title says do you think the series X could be water cooled? Like if you take the heat sink off is there enough room to hide Reservoir and pump?

 

Yes I know the xbox is already quite and good as it is but I like thinking outside the box.

Anything is possible, but it's not always smart. I wouldn't bother. I don't imagine you'd see any gains.

It looks like there would be enough room if you remove the heatsink, but as already said there isn't really any benefit other than it looking cool, while also having disadvantages.

Ya I was just thinking it would just be cool and you wouldn't have to make many outside modifications like when people did the xbox s and x.

 

So it was just a thought lol

If you want to replace the heatsink with a 120/140mm radiator then you'd have to drill holes on the side of the XBox for the fan, as the top fan cannot pass the radiator, it is possible but you'd need heavy modifications and isn't as easy as you might think with no gains to be seen.
