Intriguing. Looks very nice.
Couple of questions:
can the boards still stack easily with this back to back cooler arrangement?
can someone with some watercooling experience give me an idea of the BOM to cool 12 boards? 12x80 = 960W
It seems like a great idea but I'm worried it will prove expensive when you add in radiators, pumps, fans, reservoirs. Is this going to need £300 investment on top of the cooling blocks?
it honestly all depends on the waterblock price and number of boards your going to get.. Can you translate this into cost per miner? For example "Watercooling a bitburner XX would cost X more €/$". as burnin said earlier, the cooler will be for two bitburners and the price difference between aircooling and watercooling should be at ca. 15euro per board. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FoceqO4S.png&t=665&c=edcCtvD82UkM2w) simple math. 15€ per Board for the watercooler, 280€ for the watercooling itself. the more bitburners you cool, the "cheaper" it gets. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FPUEHnrs.png&t=665&c=Fk9S9e9eaDhf8A) Watercooling is nothing for beginners, if you have no clue about it, leave it. One leak can kill your bitburners instantly! Nice explaination. I think before burnin didnt test the advantages of watercooling its all speculation. Only when there is a reasonable advantage it would make sense to go that route. So i hope he will test it. And i wait for an answer from hetzner if they would allow watercooling in their datacentres anyway.

been there, done that. in 2011 they did not allow it ... i think that especially in germany its not very clever to host miners in datacenters due the high costs for electricity.

Doesn't make sense to me with a small number of boards.

been there, done that. in 2011 they did not allow it ... i think that especially in germany its not very clever to host miners in datacenters due the high costs for electricity. Yes, thats why i look for other countries with lower electricity. But the main reason is... i cant really host it at home. It will reach limits of home electricity, it will maybe be strange too to have such high electricitiy bills (in usa you could get a raid because they think you raise hash), its unsecure at home (miners were stolen already) and the price for electricity is high too. So datacentres look like the only solution to me. If its true that watercooling isnt allowed then watercooling isnt a solution for me. The only thing i would try then would be to form a real tight airtunnel for my miners. From fan through heatsinks. This way i hope to optimize the heat dissipation through air. But i still search an appropriate material for forming the tunnel and fasten it. It shouldnt cause shortcuts and should be flexible and static enough.

In a datacentre, I guess nobody will care about the noise of your miners. So you could just go and use high performance fans above 2500RPM...

Hm. didnt think about that yet. Are those fans really better? What settings should i take a look on? I mean it shouldn't be some trash cheaply built in china but it should cool the miners the best they can. Of course with automatic fan-speed-change. Airflowvolume? Whats important? Nice explaination.

@burnin... what fans are included? Can you give some details? Name or rpm, airflow volume or similar...

funny thing, im in this hardware/overclocking/modding business since approx. 2001 and the best fans ive ever had were the Yate Loon D12SL - 120mm, 1350 U/min 28 dB/A 28 m³/h. The D12SH (last letter h for high, l for low, m for medium) were pretty good too (2200 U/min 40 dB/A 149,51 m³/h) both must be around 5€ per Fan. If i would put my miner into a datacentre i would recommend high performance fans, with as much airflow as possible. You could also put some Delta Fans into it. (FFB1212EHE 120x120x38mm, Doppelkugellager, 4000rpm, 322m³/h, 59dB(A)) but i doubt, that the fan port on the bitburne is ready for a fan that draws itself 24w of power ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But i think burnin should say something about the production heatsink, since the choice of the best fan mostly depens on the surface/material of the heatsink ...

But the difference in airflow volume is only 150m³/h to 322... I wonder why.

Not everything in life is linear my friend! I guess then it would be better to use 2 fans of the first type instead one of the second. More efficient it seems.

I forgot... i asked hetzner what they think about watercooling and it looks they dont deny it from the start because the support asked me: "Is the compressor built into the 19" rack or extern?" and "how high is the probability of water leaks?" Im not sure what the answers to this are. I guess radiator has to be outside, compressor can be inside right? But its interesting that they dont deny from the start. I wonder if its only hetzner or other datacentres too.

the reason they denied it to me was sth like "security blabla other custormers servers in the racks blabla". if i am honest, i would not like it if someone would put his watercooled selfmade hellmachines above my production servers in a datacentre.

But i wonder anyway it if will work. I mean big radiators are needed isnt it? And even though the power cost is the biggest factor, space cost is high too. And i think one has to build everything into the colocation rack. I doubt they will happily have something stand before the rack. The pictures of the datacentres look very tidy, so most probably a design is needed where everything is inside the colocation rack.

Put insane fans on it, and let the airco from the DC take care of all the heat... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

But of course the effect of watercooling on asic's has to be proved first. I would prefer fans too if it would lead to a optimum clockrate. You have tips for "insane fans" or you mean the models already suggested?
