BluBawx Mod by E.E.L. Ambiense

Blu Eye Candy!

I had her up running [Ed: her?] so I can connect to the net and update Vista, as well as flash the firmware on the Blu-Ray Disc drive so I can actually use the thing! I had a DVD playing, and the CPU didn't top 30°C, although it looks like the chipset floats around 50-52°C regardless of load.

The motherboard's other sensor tell me it's around 23°C, wherever that is! The hard drive runs around 26°; a bit higher than I expected, but certainly tolerable.

I'm happy with the temps, considering I can't really hear the fans at all unless I have my ear right up against the case. Trust me, from 10-12 feet away it doesn't make any noise at all and it should be a bit of an improvement over the PS3 in terms of noise. That thing kicks up a lot of noise after a while, simply because of the placement of the vents in the room its in, more than anything else however.

But that's a whole other issue entirely. Let's get back to the Bawx! Here's some pics of her polished up and ready to go for a stretch:
