- NVIDIA's Rubin AI infrastructure uses 100% liquid cooling at up to 45°C, eliminating fans and reducing energy and water use in data centers.
- Liquid cooling can cut cooling energy costs by 4% per degree increase, saving millions annually in hyperscale facilities and reducing water consumption by up to 100%.
- The system operates in a closed loop, enabling chiller-less operation in favorable climates and allowing waste heat recovery for nearby buildings.
- Fully liquid-cooled servers enable higher rack density, reducing space and noise compared to traditional air-cooled systems.
- NVIDIA's design simplifies cooling with single inlet/outlet routing, making liquid cooling essential as chip power densities increase.
