The global demand for technologies such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud services is accelerating, and the efficiency of the cooling systems used in the data centers behind such ...

Water cooling for PCs explained: performance gains, costs, noise levels, and whether liquid cooling beats air for gaming, overclocking, and daily use.

I have used air coolers for the majority of my PC building journey, only switching to liquid cooling as recently as 2022. Well, it turns out AIO liquid coolers aren't universally better than air ...

High-density computing workloads like AI training and inference run too hot for traditional air cooling. Companies are increasingly adopting liquid cooling technologies, even in traditional air-cooled ...

While liquid cooling is rightly considered an emerging technology, it’s not new. Early IBM mainframes from the 1960s and Cray supercomputers featured liquid cooling. Notably, a full-time technician ...

Walk into a typical data center and one of the first things that jumps out at you is the noise—the low, buzzing sound of thousands of fans: fans next to individual computer chips, fans on the back ...

All electronics generate heat, and that heat must be removed to ensure those electronics don’t overheat. Moving air has been the predominant approach for decades, with liquid cooling limited to ...

Using hot water to cool supercomputers? Nvidia and others are doing it. It’s liquid cooling minus the water chillers.

It is a now well-known fact in the datacenters of the world, which are trying to cram ten pounds of power usage into a five pound bit barn bag, that liquid cooling is an absolute necessity for the ...

A surge of 2026 data center cooling announcements, from HRL’s ARPA-E-backed single-phase breakthrough and Johnson Controls’ planned Alloy acquisition to new AI-ready chillers ...

The big picture: As artificial intelligence and high-performance computing continue to drive demand for increasingly powerful data centers, the industry faces a growing challenge: how to cool ...
