Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Nvidia's upcoming GB200 server racks will be mainly cooled with liquid circulated in tubes. The company is also working on other cooling technologies, including one that involves dunking entire computers in a non-conductive liquid that absorbs and dissipates heat. Cooling accounts for a significant amount of power consumption in data centers. Liquid-cooled data centers would be able to pack much more computing power in the same space.
