Bitman Antminer S9 Water Cooling

Im planning to use the 3M fluid to cool my S9 antminers. Does anyone know If I need to remove the heatsinks from the S9 before I place it into the 3M fluid?

I didn't spot a reply to the "how big is an S9 card"...

They are 10" long and just a bit over 4 7/8" tall on the chip side; 5 7/8" along the power connector side - more or less (depends if you include the controller cable socket in the measurement).  I see (3) small holes - (1) at the top back corner, and (2) on each bottom corner.

No you don't have to remove the heatsinks, but I would. Removing the heatsinks is tedious work. It's important to understand proper procedures to avoid damage to the ASICs .

The heatsinks increase the vacant area within the tank. All vacant area within the tank will need to be filled with the fluid. Once you see the price of the fluid you'll see why it's so important.

Do you know of a place to buy the fluid?
