ok so this is just a for fun idea i have been playing around for a while but im thinking of making a water cooled rasberry pi what do you guys think id need for tubs rads etc. and if this dose end up happening it wont happen for a while because of personal life and school

Why would you put an expensive cooling solution on something that doesnt get hot?

 

Have you machined stuff from copper before?

this is just a for fun project as far as metal work i have done stuff for school with welding and bending before

Something like a CPU block is probably going to require a little more finesse than metal work at school. If you spend enough time planning and practicing, yeah it could work. I'd only do it if I had nothing else to spend my money on.

Just the cooling setup itself would be bigger than the Pi... xD

 

I you managed to make a waterblock for the three main chips (SoC, Ethernet/USB controller and power) and have tubing thin enough to be able to run it from a place to another and a pump and reservoir that supported the tubing it would work, you'd be able to break records for Pi overclocking.

 

As @TheDigitalRealm said, it'd be very hard to do at school, it'd be a pain to make plain.

 

Never the less a wierd idea but ok...

i'm a potato
