Pi4 Stuff. Watercooling, Aircooling and Benchmarks, if possible :)
Sooo, looking a lot like the AM4 mATX thread.
I got a Pi4 2GB, thought i killed it, turned out i just bent a pin or two in the microHDMI to HDMI adapter.
Got a second Pi4, with a few cables and heatsinks, microHDMI to HDMI cables.
First one is running Kodi fine, for local playback, with a large heatsink and a 5V Noctua 40mm fan.
It also has a HifiBerry Dac+ HAT, which is really good for sound output to my amp.
BUT, i now have a second Pi4 2GB, that I can use for RetroPie testing, and other benchmarks.
I got some MCX One waterblocks on sale, https://www.docmicro.com/watercoolin...-One_4970.html.
Then I had to get a pump, and i found this https://www.micropumps.co.uk/TCSM100range.htm
~88€ delivered with tax and 24€ delivery.
You wonder why its so expensive until you open the box and see how F-ing small it is.
Its about an inch MAX full length.
10g weight ? 1-3V 1.2W.
I also got a 2x60mm rad, 45mm thick, as a sort of passive cooler, reservoir.
If it all goes fine, I might add another pi4 or more Pi's into the loop.
I bought a few MCX One's
and the breakoutboxes for 5 concurrent cooling boards,but on a normal pump.
The M100 pump is good for about a coke can a minute as far as I can tell (180-430mL/min).
We'll see soon enough.
On another side, i bought two Odroid N2's (4GB), about a day or so before the Pi4's came out.
Was a bit pissed to say the least.
They have SPI boot as a bonus. One has replaced my Pine64 2Gb as a Linux machine pretty well.
With 16GB Emmc.
But less talk of Odroid's, and more Pie
Long story short,the Pi4's need good cooling.
Lets see where watercooling takes us
