It's pretty interesting what you can do with immersion cooling. I work with it at $DAYJOB. Similar to air cooling, but your coolant flow rates are much lower than air, and you don't need any fans in the systems--The pumps take the place of those. We save a lot of money on the cooling side, since we don't need to compress and expand gases/liquids. We can run with warmish (25-30C) water from cooling towers, and still keep the systems at a target temperature of 35C. --Chris
