Why are data centers boiling AI chips? 👀 #trendingshorts #technology

As AI chips consume more power (up to 1,200 watts for Nvidia’s newest GPUs) liquid cooling has become the norm. But the most experimental solution is two-phase immersion cooling, where entire servers are submerged in specialized fluids that boil at 43 degrees Celsius. Companies like Chemours have developed proprietary dielectric fluids that absorb heat through phase change without increasing temperature, offering far greater cooling efficiency than static liquids while eliminating energy-intensive chillers. China has deployed underwater data centers (literally in the ocean) using similar principles, saving 122 million kilowatt hours annually. However, the specialized fluids remain expensive and prone to evaporation. With chips projected to reach 5,000 watts within two years, liquid cooling has become essential for AI’s future.
