Designed to have a heatsink mounted to the back with airflow; I expect this sucker to require some cooling!

If you want to overclock them and expect to much heat, please feel welcome to contact us (anfi-tec) for some watercoolers.
Furthermore for a better packing density.

That might be a good option... I'd need a waterblock that's about 100x30mm.

what do you think will the 12 chips produce in heat/Power consumption in idle?
and the same with overclocking?
how many of these miniboards you plan to put on a backplane/rack?
what distance is planned for the pci-slots (with watercooling you can pack them much closer together than with aircooling)
are you planing to sell these miniboards?
cooling from the backside of the board like the avalonchips?

i am sure that we can't use here one waterblock for two boards like we did with bitburner XX waterblock Sad

12 chips at full rate will produce around 30W. The 40A regulator probably another 5W.
The bottom of the module has the soldermask masked back to show bare plated copper for good heat transfer. Yes, cooling from the backside of the board.

Heatsink dimension should be 100x35mm. I'll get you the mounting hole pattern this evening; they're 2mm mounting holes.

For the backplanes I'm designing now (for aircooling), the slots are 36mm apart. Here's a render of a 480GH miner on a 16 way backplane:

Could you change your mountingholes to 3.18 mm? I have never seen any smaller mountingholes than M2,5 on electric equipment.

We could offer you an individual water cooler with a size of 100x30x15mm (2 x 1/8 "fittings) ~ 40 each (> 100)
Are you planning to design another backplane for water cooler?
If yes, i have some suggestions: Try to put more boards on one cooler. Use the front and the backside of the watercooler.

2 short examples:
If you use front and back of the watercooler, the cost per board would only be --> 20
If you manage to put 4 boards on a 100x70x15 (2x G1/4" fittings) watercooler ~ 50 (> 100pieces)
the cost per board would decrease even further. --> 12,50 per Board.
Another idea is to use multiconnectors from watercooling for grafic-cards.
But i think the small extra-chip with the ?40A regulator? will prevent all this.

example:
2xBitburner XX with one watercooler http://www.anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/13.07.11%20Bitburner/Anfi-tec%20Bitburner%20XX%201.JPG
finished blocks http://www.anfi-tec.de/forenbilder/C006/13.08.30%20Bitburner%20Waterblocks.JPG
And of course with less coolers you have to do less tubing.

@cscape
for you the same: If you want to overclock them and expect to much heat, please feel welcome to contact us (anfi-tec) for some watercoolers.
