Data centers have been using chilled water to cool air for a long time. It would be interesting to see cooling delivered directly to the CPU/GPU from a/the chiller.
- sschueller 5y agoNo thanks, the equinix DC I have dealt with has had so many chiller outages I am glad that the fans were able to keep the temp low enough to prevent damage. If I lost all cooling the equipment would literally be toast.
- wmf 5y agoAlmost no server equipment will be damaged by loss of cooling; it will shut down before damage occurs.
- sschueller 5y agoRepeat overheating even with auto shutoff can result in solder joints going bad and reducing the life span of hw. Additionally not all components that are overheating will cause on auto shutoff.
