Isn't is a bit overkill? I mean, when your cooling system is 10x the size of your computer, there's a problem! lol You could probably get similar results just by using a bigger heat-sink. What makes the raspberry pi so interesting is its low price, its small size and its low power consumption. Three things that your water-cooling system is killing! I hope you don't expect this setup to run on batteries for a long period of time...

That whole system did the same thing that shotgun did to that squirrel. Absolutely nothing good lol. I don't care how nerdy u are. U cab nerd out all day. But fact is. It didn't do any justice at all. That was meant to be portable. It is what it is. U claim your a hacker and all this. Build a fucking better version like Asus did lol.

There are very few raspberry Pi 3s that can go over 1.5 ghz. And even then i'd say most of those are myths. If you can get yours to go any higher than 1.4 ghz, id be VERY surprised... it really doesn't matter how cool you get it, those stupid phone arm cpus can't go very high.

i relized that the problem i was having is the voltage being delivered to the cpu. i am working on a solution to deliver more voltage to cpu.

[@checkforfleas9452]

@@gavinfaync yea it is completely pointless to water cool a raspi. I mean if water cooling a pc works for u. Be my guest. I use to swear by water cooling until my brain got to thinking. It does work yes. But, in all reality it takes longer to heat up the liquid and once it does get to that certain consistent temp. That's where it will stay. But, there's so many factors. In my opinion it doesn't work for me. Now mind u. These are all theories that people have. The only way to tell is to buy all of them and test yourself. Now. It does work great for open air PC. Obviously. So yes I would use it if I did that most certainly. I love my cooler master vs my liquid cooling. But, if u think about the theory. Your car. Its the same type of system. Its cold outside so u have to warm up your to get hot air. Same thing almost. But same concept. I'm not going to bash some one for believing that water cooling is better. My cooler master works great for my system. So I'm ok with that lol. But, water cooling a pi is just stupid and senseless lol. With that u could slap a heatsink on it and a fan in a case and it would work just fine. It works just fine. They are ment to run like that. So they do. But, tools like him just want to give useless info to people lol.

[@captainspirou]

another reason is just for the educational aspect. you screw up a raspberry pi 3 and you are out $35. you do the same to a $1000 computer and you have an expensive disaster. best to get experience on a cheap setup.

[@NovaspiritTech]

totally agree, why else do people build "super computer" with 10 raspberry pi 3 vs 10 real desktops, educational and affordable

[@joelgabriel3093]

That's why you build your cooling loop outside of the case and give it a 24 hour test for leaks. Then, put it in your PC.

[@tennicktenstyl]

+Joel Gabriel it ain't that simple

[@joelgabriel3093]

Bartosz Olszewski It is. It's just physically awkward to do and fiddly. Which is why I stick with air cooling.

[@tennicktenstyl]

+Joel Gabriel moving your loop in place may cause leaks, so testing it outside doesn't make you 100% sure that it's gonna work.

[@IkmelAAA]

Can I use this to watercool my USB stick?

[@TheUnamazingRando]

this would probably work really well with the Pi 4 as I hear it heats up pretty good!

[@arcanekand]

I have one and yes it does heat up fairly quickly under load i use a small handheld usb/batter powered fan placed on the top of the case to cool it under heavy loads you can also adjust fan speed (i also have a case with a small fan in it but the bigger hand held fan works better imo) here is a link to one similar to what I use www.amazon.com/HandFan-Handheld-Operated-Portable-Rechargeable/dp/B07P2YS5ZR/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_147_t_1/139-1396981-6200024?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P933NEHYWGPPQQ4W6TRE

[@Grimmwoldds]

5V, 2.5A. 12.5 watts. Even a 120mm radiator is going to be over 100 thermal watts dissipation @ 10 degrees delta(coolant over ambient). You get VERY little efficiency because the pi can't even heat the coolant properly(and going down to weird tiny alphacool rads is actually more expensive) It's never practical unless you already have a custom loop present. You could stick a pi into a normal computer case(as opposed to the large "dual system" cases) and parallel off to a tiny water block, though it's be better to use a mounting bracket over adhesive. The extra restriction from the tiny block/tubes would reduce flow in the pi section, which is fine as it's not an intel top level 250w barn burner. It's a really niche application. The dual system cases properly are used for productivity. If you have like machine learning or rendering that consumes massive amounts of component space and run for a long time, and a smaller scale system for e-mail, office apps, web browser(corporate internal apps) so the user can still do user speed limited tasks while the main system cranks away at large automated tasks.

Loved the vid. It's fun to see little projects like this. I bet this would be excellent on a cluster setup. For a single unit though, those numbers seem on par with what you would see with the Flirc case. I am curious to find out how far you were able to overclock above 1.4Ghz.

[@akiraokami]

I don't think it's a dumb idea or a waste of time, but I was fairly disappointed that you didn't take the build all the way, an enclosure etc..

[@nenyagirl]

So here I am sitting wondering, if you would create a water cooling system for the Raspberry Pi4? if so which components are you using for the cooling system? and where can I buy these components to build it from? I am hoping you would be kind, and find the time, to give me some advice on my request

[@ElitesEngineering]

Wouldn't the adhesive observe some of the heat which makes this kind of pointless?

[@ArtisChronicles]

I'm sure it's a thermal pad, which is used for heat transfer. It's not perfect, but it will work. Depending on the grade it may not transfer enough heat.

In reality everything we do is pointless b/c eventually we *all* will die, leaving behind everything we own. No matter how rich, famous or smart, you take nothing with you once you're gone.

I actually watercooled my ODROID XU4, however in this case it was "called for". The thing hit 90+ C instantly when throttled up to 2 GHz at high load. I use it for a media server/file server/TV tuner/DVR server that does on-demand transcoding (PLEX Media Server and TVHeadend) It will still get to 75, but it no longer cuts performance. And it looks cool. ;) If you look at the design of the XU4, there's quite simply no proper way to cool it, the heatsink mounts are off-center the SOC, so you never get even pressure. I used an 80 mm radiator, and a $6 12V fountain pump. (spare me the hate, it'll get "proper" hardware eventually).

This video should be titled "disposable income"

[@MrGuttomek]

I've got my RPi3 overclocked to 1.35GHz. CPU running at ~75% most of the time with occasional spikes to 100%, it's cooled with a copper radiator having a fan sitting on top of it. Runs at 59deg at the moment (haven't been switched off since ~8months). Another unit is outside (in a waterproof box with an acrylic "peek hole" for the camera) and when it's exposed to the sun I had not seen it exceeded 65deg (it's winter now so it's oscilates around 30deg), this one's running 6 months now. These "cooling systems" costed me 5GBP. So if watercooling won't let you go beyond 1.5GHz, then it's pointless in production settings. Unless you want it to be super quiet (and super huge). Otherwise, the video is a great proof of concept :)

[@TheGorillafoot]

Interesting. Now I may have missed this, but you need a fan on that radiator for it to cool properly btw. It's why water cooled vehicles have fans. When you're say at a stop light not moving, the fan moves air through the radiator keeping water cool. Without a fan on the radiator heat is just gonna build up. So you may be able to make it run even cooler.

Now I will login from my other account and hit dislike again.

[@LovelyAlanna]

you got me there buddy, I was like, this is nonsense, why watercool it? then you're like then why did you click on this video, well played sir.

I am designing a portable water cooled rpi3 for a backpack set up. The prototype works in tandem with a drone that does simple things like follow me, assist in builds(for now it orders parts), hunting wild boar or rabbits. I’m writing a ton of code to get this drone to work on its own but steal processing power from the rpi3 backpack when it needs to do higher level calculations and what not. I want to use a laptop eventually but nothing has the processing power I need to get the bot to compile the code it needs and run at the same time. So simple observe and report until then. It works great for portable pen testing WiFi and basic transmissions from wireless devices. Without physically being there. I hope to show the build by june

[@simonaarekol3336]

This would work perfectly with a raspberry pi 4 B, because it needs a heatsink (and maybe a fan) to be properly cooled. With this watercooling, i think there would be a huge difference in preformance

[@charlesellis1924]

Are these parts all the same material; because copper and aluminum corrodes.

[@BenTvHowman]

I love this. I plan on running retro pi and I'm hoping a set up like this will work for my needs of running it flat out. Shout out from Melbourne Australia

[@SeptrothFFXI]

One other question, when will we see the liquid nitrogen cooled raspberry pi?

[@MrCompenso]

Cool video! It does seem pretty silly to water cool a rasp pi but sometimes you just wanna see it be done, regardless of how unnecessary it might be.

[@Hunting4MadV]

cool video. did you ever figure out a way to increase the voltage on the pi ?

[@dimensionalencounter3689]

Do they have splitters to where you could do this to multiple raspberry pi CPUs? If so I could see at that point where this could be more beneficial, the radiator is huge and looks like it could support mulitple. And what was the cost of this build?

[@jacksonmurray2825]

Interesting! So based on those benchmarks, watercooling lets you OC to the maximum voltage while not going above the stock cooler's base clock max temps. Worth trying out, I've been messing with my Pi Zero for a while and this seems like a cool project.

[@ConalRF]

Best intro to a video ever.

[@RETROGAMINGARTS]

the 1 question i had, didnt get answered, oh man. how does the cpu block attach to the cpu?

[@NovaspiritTech]

adhesive thermo pads

[@RETROGAMINGARTS]

Novaspirit Tech thank you

[@pulga650]

honestly this is a great idea my friend had a raspberry pi 3 with a FAN and it burned out cause he played it for along time and the system got very hot so i think this is great

[@MCTGFoSheez]

In reference to his closing remarks: The capacitor doesn't "control" the voltage. Depending on value, it is acting as a hold up (prevent quick changes in voltage) or a bypass capacitor (provide close proximity source of high frequency current draw). You can't increase or decrease voltage with it, you could only affect if you are seeing sags in voltage from the current draw. Adding a bypass capacitor could help if you are seeing your supply sag more as you increase your operating frequency, a 0.1uf is a typical value for bypass and might help in parallel with whatever is already there (put it as close to the chip you are concerned with to minimize inductive line effects), but you will never increase above what the supply circuit supplies. With how crazy this project is getting you might as well cut the trace and solder in an external supply that provides you with whatever voltage you want.

[@TheShivABC]

Why didn't you use something like the alphacool xt45 60mm radiator?

[@shagrug911]

Please tell me where you bought the mini water cooling block THANKS;-)

[@valsodar6723]

NovaSpirit Tech: Maybe you can try different coolant like ethanol or acetone to reach lower temperatures. But you must be sure, to not dissolve (by coolant) any part of your cooling loop. (more tinkering)

[@jwuethrich8385]

looks like perfect block for high powered LED what sort of wattage is it rated for? would be cool to put a xhp70 4000lumen led on a head lamp with a radiator on the back of the head or as a backpack.. or startreck style palm flashlight with 4 xhps 70s and long radiators on arm

[@xycrone4765]

I thought I was just going to get a laugh? ; and I did but also learned something about water cooling options so well done!

[@doctorclaw8232]

I want to do the same for my Original Xbox, how does it stay on the CPU without falling? I need to watercool to overclock it to 1.4GHz and more + RAM upgrade and watercool the GPU too

[@kopasznyaku]

Now there’s same (or even better) results with an old oversized copper PC heatsink. The video you will find around. Now if you have a simple and cheap passive solution, what’s the point in going for an expensive complicated active?

[@guybarros]

Nova ,could you do an update of this water cooling build with the rpi3b+ it would be intresting to see how far you could go in overclocking it.

[@Twenty2Degrees]

The rad that comes with this kit is 60mm. I'm looking for a pc case to mount a rPi with water cooling hardware. Any ideas?

[@pizzaboxer]

Unless you're going to be running Crysis on this RPI, I don't get why you need to overclock and cool it. I'm pretty sure using like a heatsink and fan would've worked best
