Next-Gen AI needs liquid cooling

IEEE Spectrum

Four Ways to Solve AI's Heat Problem

Circulate water atop the hottest chips, or dunk the entire server in fluid, and maybe even let the fluid boil.

"Specifically, the urgency is to move away from fans and toward some sort of liquid cooling. For example, water has roughly four times the specific heat of air and is about 800 times as dense, meaning it can absorb around 3,200 times as much heat as a comparable volume of air can. What’s more, the thermal conductivity of water is 23.5 times as high as that of air, meaning that heat transfers to water much more readily." #Datacenters
