Title: BFL Single Waterblocks -- Gauging interest Post by: xurious on June 20, 2012, 05:06:37 PM I'm looking at making some of these. It seems there are a fair amount of people who mention they run warm or whatnot. This would solve that issue. If my math is right, I could do these for about $50 each, however I'd need to sell 100 off the bat to make it worthwhile.
If enough people are interested, I'll go forward. If not, I'll scrap the idea. Title: Re: BFL Single Waterblocks -- Gauging interest Post by: P4man on June 20, 2012, 05:46:45 PM Another cool idea thats killed by BFLs announcement I fear.

Last time I read anything about the BFL asics, they where still FUD. I don't have hours to peruse the forums, if someone has a link that they are actually being released, I'd love to know.

For multiple units... What is your recommendation for a manifold design? Edit: What sort of hash rates are possible with water cooling? Firmware? Edit2: Those heatsinks are just stuck-on, right? How about a Peltier element inbetween? Title: Re: BFL Single Waterblocks -- Gauging interest Post by: Inaba on June 25, 2012, 12:25:52 PM Yeah, two weeks ago I would have bought 30 of them. Now... probably not.
