Watercooling the google chromecast ultra

AndreiArgeanu

So, there's been lots of reports of the google chromecast overheating when playing games on stadia and the only fix to that issue is to make an overkill cooling solution. So, below is the chromecast ultra and I'm wondering what kind of waterblock would actually fit on it, or at least on the heat spreader and how would it be mounted. 

I think this could make for a very interesting project. 

Also I never saw the water cooled red camera in fully working condition. What happened to that project?

Dont think there would be any sadly. Maybe make your own? 

 

Also; they're still busy with that i think. Big project

If youve gotta rig up a watercooling loop for it you might as well just buy a console at that point.

 

Its gonna add more cost and then your going to have to rig it up some way.

 

My wife would have a huge issue with me having a ghetto rigged loop hooked up to the living room TV.

 

Personally i dont see anything about stadia worth using.
