Water cooling the #RaspberryPi 5 is... definitely a thing.
Very expensive ($200 for the whole kit), very overkill (42°C at 2.8 GHz overclock after 10 min), but I do like that it exists, even if *very* few people would ever need it. A short review: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zJF7pNnyGPc
@geerlingguy I'm glad you brought up using it to cool a cluster; but, that's still pretty expensive and don't like the non-matching metals for the radiator and waterblock.
@geerlingguy I'm just imagining bringing down the temperature from a "hot" 39 degrees C.
That's a tad bit overkill to make that raspberry pi cooled. I cannot wait to see liquid nitrogen cooling in that.
@geerlingguy absolutely love hot takes that included “this is awesome” and also “(almost) no one needs this.” That is the story of my life.
@geerlingguy It doesn't need to cost 200$. 5$ Waterblock, 5$ Pump and a bucket are already much more cooling than a Pi will ever need.
@geerlingguy Neat. Now time to find an active refrigeration cooler that can get it down to 0C ;)
@geerlingguy - I’ve been thinking about trying to do an immersion cooled SBC under the premise that the container and overall size of the system would be tiny. I wouldn’t do a pi 5 though. I have a mele quieter 4c” that’s the perfect candidate.
@geerlingguy I wonder if they have plans for the Rock Chip boards. Would something like the Turing RK1 do better with one of those? I've not seen anything about overclocking those boards.
@jameshubbard been testing RK1...
