The large tank pump has arrived from China but the other two pumps have been moving water with no loss for quite some time so I won't disturb the setup. My two C1's are running at 37/39/37/38° & 36/40/38/40° so I like water cooling. These board are the same as the S3+'s if I'm not mistaken but well cooled so capable of higher hashrate? I'm running my C1's 243.75M/00675v/981GH/s for lower current on the line. One S3+ is running at 42/39° and the other with a single board is 39°. The one with the single board had started to heat up so I removed a cheesecloth filter dropping the temps down from mid-50° to the 40°'s but perhaps the damage had already been done. The next day one of its boards had failed. The higher temp meant higher current due to increased inefficiency and some damage occurred. So, I like the water cooling. I'd like to put water blocks in the S3+'s.
You can buy the Water blocks..

email syscooling, I bet they make those also..
Nice. Thanks.
I see the ribbon cables will conflict if both board are orientated top up. Or one could buy two water blocks and only put a single board on each so as to have the distance.
Right, the cables would be a consideration.
Also, some earlier revision S3 boards have the data cable connector mounted
on the back side of the board.
The C1 boards are delivered with ribbon connectors all on the component side of the board.
Makes it easier to plug in ribbon cable if you have back to back boards mounted on a water block situation.
It's possible to twist the cable and squeeze it in between two boards on a C1 if you
have an older rev hashing board.. if, the cable will reach.
