TL;DR
- Nvidia's Rubin generation reference design for AI data centers uses 100 percent liquid cooling.
- The design claims to eliminate massive amounts of power usage and "pretty much all water usage."
- Servers are run hotter, up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius), for efficiency gains.
- Heat is captured directly at the chip and transported through liquid loops.
- Water use is reduced from approximately 2.6 million gallons per megawatt per year to near zero.
- The design does not address all concerns, such as construction and power generation requirements.
