So I am working on watercooling a raspberry pi zero I know its overkill but LTT is overkill nation. But anyway I need a 2 or 3 inch radiator anyone have suggestions? Also It needs to be cheap. like $20 below cheap.

But the idea of a watercooled pi is just to have it watercooled. He understands that there is no real advantage.

You know what would be better? Simply have a mineral oil loop with the oil entering through one side and exiting on the other before being pumped through a rad.

Do it, this would be baller. get a miniture fish tank and just drop it in there with a passive heatsync and rely on the flow of oil across the headsync to cool it.
