I built a custom water-cooled heatblock for the Raspberry Pi 5 using the new Carvera Air desktop CNC! This one-of-a-kind block features a milled aluminium cold plate, a clear acrylic distribution plate, and a built-in pump, all connected with hardline tubing to an 80mm radiator. It’s total overkill, but the thermal test results are impressive!
