Q. HOW IS DIRECT‐TO‐CHIP COOLING A DIFFERENTIATOR IN SUSTAINABILITY?
»“ Direct‐to‐chip( D2C) liquid cooling uses coolant flowing through cold plates mounted directly on processors to remove heat 100 times more efficiently than air alone,” explains Matt.“ This technology also permits higher return water temperatures, enabling partial free cooling on cooler days and nights, decreasing the need for additional chiller energy.
The result has a dual benefit: improved energy efficiency and reduced water consumption related to power generation and evaporative cooling.
“ By circulating water-based coolant at rack level, we reduce demand
