This makes very little sense. How exactly does water cooling contribute to power efficiency? Once you get that heat off the chip it has to go somewhere and what is the complexity of running water cooling hoses all over the datacenter. How efficient is it if you get a leak even 1% of the time?
- DiabloD3 4y agoIt makes the cooling part a lot more efficient. You're right about the leak issue, this is unsolvable and banned in most datacenters. A lot easier to go hyperdense and go with chilled rear doors and/or in row cooling if this becomes your problem.

- amelius 4y agoYes, the article seems very paradoxical.
- jabl 4y agoTransporting X Joules of heat around by pumping water is definitely a lot more efficient than transporting the same heat energy around by blowing hot air. So pumping losses are much smaller.
