> The cooler's dissipation ability is impressive enough, but the liquid that goes out of it is claimed to be at 60 to 80°C, making it easy to recover and use in other heating networks for a double-whammy. The report claims these figures are superior to standard datacenter cooling that whisks away heat at lower temperatures, making it harder to reuse.
Two immediate thoughts, first, how much hotter are the chips then? But second, how do we rate it consider this, what is the figure of metric or unit of measure that represents outlet temperature?
My gut says that yeah, we want to use as much of the thermal potential as we can, dissipate as much heat into the water as possible. And the idea of maybe possibly recuperating some of this energy also feels like it would go up.
