  • NVIDIA is bringing liquid-cooled GPUs to data centers

    1 month ago - By Engadget

    Starting later this year, NVIDIA will begin selling a liquid-cooled version of its A100 GPU for data centers. The GPU maker is positioning the video card as a way for cloud computing companies to make their facilities more energy-efficient. It may seem unintuitive, but by adding a water block to the component, data centers can reduce their dependence on inefficient air- and water-based chillers. In testing, NVIDIA claims a facility outfitted with its water-cooled A100 GPUs ran the same workload as an air-cooled data center while using about 30 percent less power. The new version of the...

    Nvidia has announced its new plan for reducing the energy use of data centers crunching massive amounts of data or training AI models: liquid-cooled graphics cards. The company announced at Computex that it's introducing a liquid-cooled version of its A100 compute card , and says that it consumes 30 percent less power than the air-cooled version. Nvidia's also pledging that this isn't just a one-off, it's already got more liquid-cooled server cards on its roadmap, and hints at bringing the tech to other applications like...
