They have 3 weeks left to demonstrate a working product and start shipping.

i wonder if they will ship the water block later or if that will delay production

Both cooling devices look to be quite compatible with their preliminary Single SC layout ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcodinginmysleep.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F09%2FBitForce_SC_Front.png&t=665&c=KcU7wwysLpAsKg)

It's a scam. Water cooling doesn't exist. You guys are so gullible.

I'm just going to keep repeating "it's an Altera HardCopy" because I haven't the slightest clue what I'm talking about.

I find it interesting that BFL states that these ASICs are very heat tolerant, which to me means they run pretty cool, yet they go and develop a waterblock for it. It could mean a couple of things: like they missed their thermal envelope, they will use it in the SC mini-rig to reduce fan numbers and noise (plausible), or maybe just for the cool factor. I for one am very curious as I am a watercooling junkie. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Tired of substandard power distribution in your ASIC setup??? Chris' Custom Cablez will get you sorted out right! No job too hard so PM me for a quote Check my products or ask a question here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74397.0

I can totally tell it's photoshopped... from the pixels.
Seriously though. I wonder how long it takes to render that plastic looking shiny thing with my gpu based mining rig.

I think it's not a stretch to have the minirig SC be watercooled. 1500W is a lot of heat to dissipate.

That is basically what this blog post is hinting at: http://codinginmysleep.com/more-bfl-product-renders/The water blocks are most likely for the larger rigs for density. It would be nice to have for the single though since my PC has plenty of radiator for another heat source.

photoshop? you sure? you're wrong, projects be designed in CAD, as I guess. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Seriously though. I wonder how long it takes to render that plastic looking shiny thing with my gpu based mining rig.

Why cool something like that if it runs very cool and hardly consumes any electricity? Is it for overclocking the chip or are there hidden features (deactivated sub-cores) hidden inside each die?

If this is a real snapshot of the BFL ASIC miner development progress, we will not see BFL ASICs in october nor in november. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Totally agree, it has to be for the minirig.

So rather than a MR having 25 SC Single boards to make 1.5TH/s, I wonder if they've OC'd and WC'd 15 boards to 100GH/s each.

I don't see why you can't, they did it with the FPGA mini-rig with 18 boards. It should be possible to do again if the thermals are similar.
