water cooling an s2

[rkinnin]

Has anyone given it any thought or designed water coolers for the s2's? 

My thought is it install the water heat sinks in between the hashing cards. 

thoughts of any kind are appreciated.

Thank you.

its not worth it for an S2 - they will be off the market soon unless they can run at less than 1w/GH. You could spend $300 or more easily to make a 1-off waterblock for the boards but by the time you do the system is only worth ~$500.

Use mineral oil instead, it is also easier as you just need a aquarium that can fit a S2.

The problem is that the above will result in a fishtank full of liquid quickly reaching the same temperature as the ASIC chips, at which point the cooling effect is lost and you will have a fishtank full of overheating electronics and hot oil.

unless you actively remove heat from the liquid (ie: pump through a radiator) it will keep getting hotter until the S2 shuts off/malfunctions or an equilibrium is reached once the oil is ~90C and scalding hot

Overkill. You already paid too much for it why throw good money after bad?
