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.

A decent hires top down photo with camera close to 90 degree above board, and a ruler laid over two asics could do it. Camera as high as possible and use zoom to reduce parallax.

All board dimensions could then be derived to ~mm accuracy in a paint program.

P.S. I'm impressed with your ( get it done ) watercool plan. If I didn't have all my fans on hand I would consider doing the same, I would probably buy $10 copper waterblocks on ebay though ($480  Shocked) as I only have a hand drill. And then hit up a junk yard for radiator and hoses.

With thick hoses through a window (or multiple thin through wall holes) you could run the radiator outside in shade in the summer (completely silent rig) and bring it inside in the winter, hmmm very nice!
