The art of liquid cooling has been demonstrated by Aquasar
and put to work inside the German supercomputer SuperMUC
which - *perversely* - harnesses warm water to cool its
circuits.
How is it perverse to cool hot circuits with warm water?
- wmf 13y agoThe efficiency of cooling is proportional to delta t, so it's much better (for the computer) to cool a computer with cold water. But how did you produce that cold water? Probably with some energy-intensive refrigeration process. Thus AFAIK it's more efficient overall to use a higher inlet temperature (presumably with a higher flow rate).
