News Intel Looks to Immersion Cooling to Improve HPC Efficiency, Density

[Admin]

Intel and liquid immersion cooling specialist GRC have penned a whitepaper extoling the cirtues of liquid cooling tech in HPC environments. The companies cite higher cooling performance, energy efficiency, density, and lowered running costs compared to traditional air cooling.

Did you mean birtues?! ...

I am not a fan of immersion cooling. It's not new and diy folks have been doing it for ages....

The biggest problem would be cost. Non-conductive solvent is very expensive. It's also volatile (else it will be too messy). Then I am also not sure the dangers of breathing the vapor for prolong periods.

So, imho, liquid/air cooling hybrid is still more practical.
