What Keeps NVIDIA Blackwell Cool? [Video]

While NVIDIA gears up to provide its Blackwell platform as high-end GPUs, major cloud service providers (CSPs) are expected to adopt liquid cooling solutions to meet the demands of these powerful AI servers.

At Tech World 2024, Lenovo launched the ThinkSystem N1380 Neptune, a water-cooling system built to support NVIDIA’s Blackwell platform and AI applications. 

NVIDIA chief Jensen Huang said that Lenovo’s years of hard work on building supercomputers had finally paid off. Marvelling at the ThinkSystem N1380 Neptune, Huang said, “Tell me this isn’t beautiful. To an engineer, this is sexy!”

The new Neptune chassis enables organisations to operate 100KW+ server racks without the need for specialised air conditioning, achieving 100% heat removal.

“We are reshaping water cooling and pushing the industry boundaries further, and we’re doing it with innovation and engineering, with the highest accelerated computing capacity available in a small form factor chassis that organisations of any size can use,” said Vlad Rozanovich,senior …
