GIGABYTE Direct Liquid Cooling Solution

GIGABYTE Direct Liquid Cooling solution focuses on innovative breakthroughs in AI, HPC and cloud computing, delivering outstanding efficiency in heat dissipation while achieving high system availability and stability.

GIGABYTE Direct Liquid Cooling Solution

GIGABYTE offers both independently developed and third-party Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solutions designed for high-density computing in data centers. The advanced cooling system operates by allowing direct contact between heat-generating components, such as CPUs and GPUs, and a cold plate connected to tubes with coolant inside, effectively removing heat from the server through a more efficient and rapid method. Compared to traditional air-cooled systems, DLC transfers heat at a much higher rate, ensuring overall system performance and stability.

GIGABYTE DLC solutions can be easily integrated with both liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid coolant distribution units (CDUs), requiring minimal modifications to existing cooling hardware in data centers. Another option for easier adoption of new cooling solutions is deploying Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHxs). Compatible with both DLC servers and air-cooled servers, this design offers an ideal solution for gradually transitioning from air-cooling infrastructure to DLC data centers. These designs effectively help customers meet the increasing demands for greater heat dissipation at a reasonable cost and with ease of deployment.

To simplify the validation process, GIGABYTE also provides pre-tested, rack-scale DLC solutions with included software, which are easy to deploy and performance-optimized while still offering customizable options. With GIGABYTE servers and components from our trusted partners, we are committed to providing simple solutions for anyone looking for quick adoption of the latest cooling alternatives.

Cooling Challenges for AI, HPC, and Cloud Computing

Following the booming numbers in cloud computing services, artificial Intelligence (AI) has also started to become mainstream in every part of our daily lives. Combining the high-performance computing (HPC) needed in the field of scientific research, data centers worldwide continue to grow in number and scale. As the demand for computing power rapidly expands with limited space to be utilized, data centers are forced to come up with a much higher density solution, bringing unprecedented loads to the traditional air-cooling system design. Furthermore, the vibration generated by cooling fans in a server may result in damage to server components such as HDDs, and the noise could potentially damage the hearing of workers that routinely maintain IT hardware. 

 It is estimated that data centers now consume approximately 1% of the world's electricity, with the average power usage effectiveness (PUE) being in the range of 1.4 to 1.6. This number indicates that around 33% of the facility power is spent not on powering the IT hardware itself but on facility costs, including a majority part on air conditioning. DLC is a much more efficient way of transferring heat away from electrical components, and since air cooling equipment within a server, such as large fans and heat sinks, is no longer required, liquid cooling systems can fit into a more compact design, potentially supporting a much greater density of CPUs and GPUs in limited space. 

 Overall, the popular and standardized DLC technology has been proven effective throughout the past few years, and it is now a mature technology suitable for all scales of applications from small-sized data centers and smaller HPC cluster deployments to exascale computing facilities.
