> This type of liquid cooling has been used by cryptominers in recent years to mine for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This method inspired Microsoft to trial its use over the last few years, using it to test against spikes of cloud demand and intensive workloads for applications like machine learning. I've seen this used to enable cost-effective crypto mining in areas with cheap electricity and hot weather. I thought the expense of liquid-cooling everything outweighed the benefits for data centers, but maybe that's not true anymore. I love the "cool factor" of the tech, but I worry about the increased use and eventual disposal of PFC liquid as this approach becomes more widespread
