Hi, could we get precise information on board dimensions and component placements? (at least the asics).

I am going to watercool them and if I know the measures with precission I would have a lot in fittings and use soldered copper pipe that I already have and just 2 fittings per board.

Also it would help for making cases/stacking them/planning the space needed.

Thanks.

May i ask why? It seems watercooling would be overly expensive/tedious and wouldn't pay off in hashrate.

It is a missconception that watercooling would be expensive, it only is when you buy overpriced computer cooling components. I am making the waterblocks myself with a drillpress and copper bar, it is a bitch to drill and if the shape is complex it can take quite a bit of time and skill but fortunatelly even a straight drill performs relativelly well. You can also use aluminium, it would cost almost nothing, easy to drill and it would still outperform most aircoolers.

There is also an economy of scale, I am going to use a single 10000L/h pump (costs about the same as pumps meant for computer cooling) and a big car radiator. Also instead of a ton of fans I will place the radiator over an extractor fan and that would also remove the problem of heat buildup in the room.

In the end it will be cheaper than air heatsinks and perform beter.
