AI chips can be cooled with liquid that's hotter than a hot tub. Here's why.
The key isn't making the coolant cold — it's keeping it cooler than the chip.
In NVIDIA's Rubin systems, coolant can enter at up to 45°C and leave at roughly 55°C after absorbing heat from the processors through cold plates. That heat can then be rejected outside through the cooling system, with chiller-free operation possible in many climates.
This is an original engineering visualization made in Motion Canvas. It is not footage of an actual NVIDIA server, and the geometry is illustrative rather than to scale.
