Many organisations run water cooled overclocked servers in production. I have not yet heard of any production use of sub-ambient cooling, but that would be awesome!
- ncmncm 6y agoLiquid nitrogen cooling is a thing, where maximum per-thread performance is needed, but it provides at best 2x. There are a lot of other things to do first.
- rigtorp 6y agoYes and also subambient using heat pumps, but I have never seen it deployed in a data center. How would you deal with condensation?
- lotyrin 6y agohave everything that's below ambient be submerged in an engineered fluid?
- angry_octet 6y agoWith a small heater to blow hot air over it.
- rigtorp 6y agoThat would work with a heat pump setup. Liquid nitrogen cooling is usually done by evaporating into the air directly on the processor package (as far as I know). So you would always have condensation inside the server case. Hmm, I guess a isolated duct for evaporated nitrogen to escape and heating the outside of that duct to ambient temp.
