5 GHz or bust.

I would need something similar Liquid-Cooler made by seeedstudio to raise the clock of a particularly unlucky mips32r2/be SoC by 120Mhz.

It's a 10 years old board. The SoC is mounted on the RS/Pro, which has several problems.
e.g. the RTC CS shared with the serial (high = RTC enable, low = uart enable), a very stupid thing, a 1GBps network port on the SoC side multiplexed across 4 physical ports, and, even worse, the PCI does not implement the PCI_IO, the hw is missing, and the default thermal dissipation part is a copper sheet that does not allow you to push beyond 680Mhz a SoC that could (from the datasheet) easily reach 800Mhz!

+120Mhz on a RISC pipelined CPU can make a huge difference!

It's full of flaws, but I love that SBC because of how, talking about things made in 2014, small it is and stable.
The default case is also very cool, they made a version with mini rack handles, which I love!
Unfortunately there is no space inside the plastic case, and since the case is plastic, a liquid device that carries the heat out would be ideal, even if in this case it is abundantly oversized.

I could hack the PLL module and implement a "turbo mode" that increases the clock by 120Mhz, running the water pump at full capacity.
That's because another nice thing about that board is that it has a 48V POE power supply, not bad for solar charging kits designed for sailing.

We will see  :D :D :D

To heat the water in this kettle, it looks like it will need to buy also a heater - the Raspberry Pi clearly can't handle it!  :-DD

Bryn:
Okay, that looks pretty stupid :palm:

Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to have their head checked.
