NVIDIA data centers use hot water cooling for new AI hardware

NVIDIA is implementing a new liquid cooling system for its data center hardware, utilizing water temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). This approach, which contrasts with traditional methods of chilling air, significantly reduces energy and water consumption. The new system is expected to lower cooling energy costs by approximately 4% per degree Celsius increase and drastically cut water usage, potentially saving millions of dollars annually for large facilities. AI

IMPACT This new cooling method could enable more efficient and environmentally friendly data center operations for AI workloads.

RANK_REASON Article discusses a new hardware cooling technology implemented by NVIDIA, which is an infrastructure improvement rather than a core AI release or research.
