Some PSU fans should be able to work in an immersed environment (though it has no practical use to it, as it is wasted power).

Just deactivating / stripping it from the PSU is probably the best solution.


It wouldn't be a problem until the fan stops, but i makes no sense to keep it in there, and you wouldn't want your PSU to drive away like a submarine Wink

Most if not all server PSU has fan checks and wont work if you simply disconnect the fan, hence a fan simulator or other way to disable the fan checks. We have close relationship with our PSU manufacturer, so of course we wouldn't waste time doing this manually for our DataTank production installations, it is done directly by the manufacturer.

I want to get my SP10s wet too  Grin

EDIT: Is there a necessity to turn the PSU fan off, when you immerse it? How to do that?

We are not fans of fans, so no PSU or any other fan inside Wink
On a more serious note, depends on PSU's, but via firmware is one way, or hardware modification, but in this case for the purpose of our tests we used a fan simulator.

The current understanding is that DataTanks cannot be purchased independently. Rather, they are in groups of six per shipping container.
This option for high density mining will be aimed more towards franchisees, who have access to both the funds and electricity to maintain it.

From the DataTank Mining Prospectus
http://www.datatank-mining.com/files/DataTank_Mining_Ops_Prospectus.pdf

You can technically purchase as little as one unit (0.01kW) of a DataTank if you like, so no its not aimed only for big buyers.

^It's not water, it's 3M Novec magic juice.  Doesn't conduct electricity or mess with the electronic goodies.  Pricey stuff last time I checked, more than $300/gal in retail quantities.

hehe, that's one way to call it I guess. Its actually sold by weight, but yes if you buy a small quantity, I am sure its pricey.
I Like your drawing btw, Wink

my bad.  I thought that it was an extremely redundant statement because wet electronics = always bad.  i didn't understand the tech good enough to realize its actually a break-through advancement.. i had assumed there was some kind of barrier between the electronics and the water

No problem.
The Immersion Blades are immersed in a dielectric fluid, so no damage to electronics.

My favorite part of the video: "Should a board ever have to leave the bath, it comes out dry".
Like holy shit, I would certainly hope so!   Roll Eyes 

It dries in matter of seconds and is clean, so yes it comes out dry.

Compared to oil immersion cooling were your hardware would come out oily and has to be cleaned with detergent. Not to mentioned the protective gear you would have to use.

Some ASIC stats after playing around with it for a while, can most likely push it a bit further, enjoy.
Once again, this is in no way optimal conditions for the boards, with the heat dissipation surface down.

Good luck in the upcoming Havelock IPO Smiley

That is interesting video right there...

Those chips don't seem to get the Novec vapourizing much. Speaks well to the SP10 as an air cooled unit. SP30 board be keen to see that.


Quick introduction, since this will be my fist post here. I am a work colleague of antirack, and I am the one that have been doing the setups for this "lab" tests.

I have been running the SP10 for quite a while now, it works great, just not very optimal circumstances for the boards as they had to be placed horizontal and heat dissipation side down. Hence also a bit tricky to get a good recording of the action, if you so will.

Short explanation: Unlike AM Gen3, we designed the our 1st gen ASIC (Hammer) to dissipate the heat downward, which is far better for QFN package, in our opinion.

I am pretty sure same goes for the BE200 ASIC, but I leave that up to you engineer guys. My comment was of course not meant be negative in any way, just explaining the situation of this tests. I also intentionally kept the ASCI side up to make it look more interesting then a big copper plate. Hopefully soon I can show some boiling action of both sides in a better way.
