i found this interesting data sheet



it could help

I've also thought about it, honestly i think it only makes sense if a MFG designs a kit that is make for liquid cooling. For theorhetical purposes or R&D heck yeah, but for ROI it goes to crap. Bitfury uses the novel fluid in their containerized datacenters, that's how they're able to get so much hashpower in such a small space. it most definitely works, idk about a retrofit thought.

One thing i have thought about is water cooling with water blocks, similar to what you'd use on a gaming pc. i think water blocks would have to be custom made and then removing, cleaning, and attaching the new water block would be quite the intensive process... I'd toy around with it, but im not volunteering to donate one of my S9's to science haha

i think the same about ROI...
but until i dont understand better, liquid price and condenser coil price.. i continue to search.
Remember who whit this system... you get 2 important things
1) at the same power consumption, you can push miners preq veri high.
2) you definitely put out the risk of burn in your home farm

I have looked at this and it interests me,

However having no experience in the field I walked away, I don't have the experience to be messing with that kind of stuff,

Its also bloody expensive isn't it.

Done a bit of googling and found this tho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcBTYOOXX2o
i found a lot of video on yout ube on two phase cooling...
but if seems easy to dip AISC hardware in novec liquid...it is less easy to understand how to build the condenser coil...
no info about the liquid temp inside...

i continue to search info

Just use mineral oil and a radiator and blow a fan through it like everyone elser. The only reason they use the Novec fluid is due to the low boiling point which they are using to help aid in a refrigeration cycle (condense, expand, condense)

Damnit, now ya got me thinkin' again...
Ya know, the s7 is pretty much the same hash board design and I have a few spares here...

The longer backside sinks, easy to replace with custom water blocks.

Topside -- cannot be removed without damage. So, a custom block with something such as a putty-like thermal gap-filler from Bergquist or such to mostly fill the existing chip sink fins and xfr heat to a block on top of them? Not as good as direct block contact with the chips but still far better than pushing air over them.
Hmm...

I also really like the idea of water cooled miners, they can be next to silent and the radiator can always be placed outside,

I personally loved the Antminer C1 for the water cooling capability of it. Didn't that Miner edge company also produce some water cooled stuff?

I'm interested to implement this solution to improve performance and reduce fire risk.
I think ROI go away for the cost of the Novec fluid... but i think miners will be much more secure against flame and overburning.
Non one can share experience with this solutions??

thank you
