G+_Damien Wessling Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Good use of redundant energy. No mention of who's actually carrying the cost of the power consumption for the server you're paying to have installed. I know from my own servers and UPS setups (at home) in the past, cost of power to run 24/7 was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rickbearcat Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I don't think this is feasible. Or practical. I'm not against it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rickbearcat Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 How would you pipe up an entire data center with water cooling loops over each CPU in a server? And server racks are pretty darn thin as it is. Do you see why I'm saying how this is impractical? The infrastructure and logistics costs would be enourmous and probably outweigh the benefits.

G+_Hal Gailey Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Rickbearcat One of the recent WAN shows on LinusTechTips was talking about a new server installation that uses premises water cooling and huge radiators to mounted to server cases to water cool the air that cools the air cooled CPUs and GPUs. It's an interesting setup, they use evaporative cooling on the roof making it super efficient and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
