Water cooled Rasperry Pi cluster: 8 Pi's 1 loop

[DJRWolf]

A very nice looking setup. He did take some shortcuts in the flow setup just to keep it simple but would have the last Pi in the loop get the warmest water.

Do Pis even run hot enough for active cooling?

The newer ones definitely can if you're pushing them quite hard.

if you overclock them or don't have any airflow over them it gets pretty toasty

Ya but water cooling is a bit overkill. My friend has 4 overclocked Pis in like this diy cabinet that we made and we just have heatsinks on the pis with 2 noctua fans mounted on either side of the cabinet and none of them overheat.

I think its pretty clear to anyone water cooling Pi's that its not done for massive performance gains. They're still pis. That being said, this guy did a great job - cool video.
