this looks interesting, i'd be in for 12 (assuming you'd need 4 blocks per s4+ right?). where are you located?

You need 2 blocks to cool an S4+?

Please post pictures. I love watercooled miners.

So are these in stock and ready for ordering?  Grin

In Theory for sale, I am going to post pics this weekened, then what I need to do is get a definitive price ($45 seems to be right), and the figure out shipping for you guys...

Question is  Do you guys want a "kit" like bitmain tried to do, or do you want just the water blocks only?

I think i would wanna source my own pump kit this time around so as long as u supply the blocks with connector barbs already in place i can source my own tubing, radiator & pump.

I'm deff interested...

Im looking to shut my S4's noise up! I live in a unit block where we all sit right on top of each other & the people around me hate the noise i produce...

This could be a life saver in terms of cutting the noise!

i'm curious how many wb i can make with 1400...

i can buy cooper sheets 5mm thick, i can  make the channels or look for a cnc
braze it and test it at above 200psi!

1k for a sheet of 1m*2m*5cm 90kg....

Get it in 10mm sheet, then you can sandwich two halves together with a basic gasket in the middle. Route / drill a channel into each half and you've got yourself a block.

You only need half the block to be copper, the part touching the chips, the other half can be acetal, either clear or black.

His intention wasn't to get cooling improvements from the copper, it was to make the channel in contact with the fluid be copper / not aluminium.

da fuck are u talking about!!!

i just want to plug the miner on my mains and dump the water in a swimming pool!

alu will complicate things with the need for a heat exchanger, pump and radiator just to be safe

i was talking for myself

i need it in cooper so it doesn’t get more complicated with heat exchangers extra pumps and shit

So far the AL one is 55-90USD an Copper one would be 400-1400USD.... Good luck!~

Indeed. If corrosion is considered an issue then brass coat something else.

'The right to privacy matters'
So dogie was  saying the s4+ volts are fixed causing the power draw to be linear on the s4+

Since this is the case I do not want a water block as my needs call for under clock and under volt and quiet.

interested! in a cooper one, not alu!

cooper more resistant in time
big rads are cooper because of the above

Making the same block from copper as it is aluminium would increase the weight 3x and the price 9x. Increasing corrosion resistance isn't worth that.

As long as you don't touch SysCooling you should do well.
If anything, you should look at a liquid cooling kit for the S5; that I would definitely buy.

Syscooling did an S5 kit. And lets be honest, they were providing entire kits for the C1 [-blocks] for less than we could buy just the radiator. You could have also bought 6 pumps from them for the same price as one of our usual retail ones. But yeah, those pumps did tend to fail a lot.
You were buying C1 radiators and pump kit parts and selling them?

No. What I mean was Syscooling was selling and shipping us entire watercooling kits for less than we could buy just the radiator in local markets.
