User seeks OAM waterblocks for high-power AI hardware

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is inquiring about the availability of OAM waterblocks for high-performance computing components like AMD MI250 and MI300, or NVIDIA SXM4/SXM5 form factors. They are looking for options that are less than datacenter scale to reduce noise and heat from a 2-3KW device. If standalone waterblocks are not readily available, the user is seeking dimensional specifications to potentially commission custom manufacturing. AI
