I work in finance (HFT) and some shops have been using liquid cooled, heavily overclocked gear for quite some time now. Typically with all cores locked to avoid c/p state transitions.
Even immersion cooling is getting traction and showing up in data centres here and there.
- c_o_n_v_e_x 5y agoFor higher power chips, we're running into limits of air cooling. You can only blow so much air and make heat sinks with enough surface area that are still able to fit into chassis. At some point, we'll have to change cooling mediums, use chip materials that can run at high temperatures, and or improve performance per watt.
