Introduction
AI/HPC deployments are forcing a new thermal reality in data centers: racks that used to be “high density” at ~30–50 kW are increasingly planned at 80–120+ kW as GPU-heavy platforms move toward rack-scale designs.
At those densities, air cooling doesn’t f...
Introduction
Why direct-to-chip liquid cooling is moving mainstream in 2026
The shift isn’t ideological—it’s arithmetic. AI/HPC clusters are pushing sustained rack power into ranges where air becomes the bottleneck: fan power rises, allowable ΔT narrows, and “hot aisl...
