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.

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.

if you wanna have watercooled systems in germany try it and give them a call Smiley  http://www.skyway-datacenter.de/deutsch/produkte/colocation/colocation.html
