   Nvidia announces liquid cooling system that runs ‘hotter than a hot tub’ — promises to reduce electricity consumption and cut water use by up to 100%, but sustainability challenges remain

   This system raises the base coolant temperature to 113 degrees F (45 degrees C) to save on electricity costs and reduce water consumption to basically zero.

   Regarding the controversy over water usage in NVIDIA's (@nvidia) AI data centers, citing Manhattan Institute data, it is emphasized that data centers account for only 0.2% of the total daily water usage in the US, and this percentage has further decreased in recent years. This figure is noteworthy for discussions on the environmental impact of AI infrastructure.

   NVIDIA (@nvidia) AI 데이터센터의 물 사용 논란과 관련해, Manhattan Institute 자료를 인용하며 미국 전체 일일 물 사용량에서 데이터센터 비중이 0.2%에 불과하고 최근 몇 년간 더 감소했다는 점을 강조한다. AI 인프라의 환경 영향 논의에 참고할 만한 수치다. https:// x.com/nvidia/status/2069147938 098483586 # ai # datacenter # waterusage # nvidia # infrastructure
