So the cheap radiator was predictably a bad idea. Didn't leak or kill anything, but the baffle between the inlet and outlet failed internally so water quit flowing through the radiator core and effectively became useless for cooling.
Hashboard was saved from a spicy death by an overtemp shutoff automation i put in home assistant.
Oh well. Waiting on a tried and true Alphacool ES T38 360mm radiator now.

It works! I've got another space specific mining heater upgrade and I wanted to see how cheap and simple I could water cool an #S19 for a #homemining. This is literally the cheapest 480mm (4x 120mm fan) radiator I could find at $32.99 and had no reviews. Also went cheap on the fans, Arctic P12's instead of Noctua. Still using an Alphacool Eisstation with DC-LT 2600 pump because I like the packaging. And guess what? It works just fine! Cooling capacity is less for sure, but in this application I don't need to run the single hashboard at more than the minimum power anyways. For this 95T S19 that equates to 22th/s around 580 watts.
This is built to hide under a dresser, so I'll be detaching the power supply from the chassis so it'll fit. When I do that I'll swap the PSU fans to Noctua's because noise.
