I see you found the Death Stars only weakness, "the thermal exhaust port"
I was going to say that he was lookin’ like Morpheus up on the roof in the intro.
I thought April Fools' came late.
This is ACTUALLY in the catalog. Holy shit.
"Oh, you've got a heatsink on your computer, that's cute, our datacenter has a huge heatsink!"
That "70" voice edit was a thing of beauty 😂
The coolant must flow !
Wendell walking without rhythm on the Supermicro roof...
Gets on top of the cooling tower: "I can see my house from here!"
Waiting for your benchmark of the cooling tower.
> it's going to evaporate hot water
How much water is lost to evaporation?
Can the water temps get high enough to make the waste heat useful to some industry?
Yes its not uncommon to use heat from data centers for district heating
Most likely the water does not evaporate. More likely the water transfers the heat/energy to the outside air, like a radiator.
@@thebinkbink6349fresh water is sprayed on the cooling vanes and evaporates there, cooling the vanes. This wastes freshwater but is far more space efficient then normal cooking without evaporation
@@thebinkbink6349 On the datasheet it says it takes 6.2 GPM(gallons per minute)/MW of water, so it definitely loses water.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm assuming it works like a swamp cooler, and the water being evaporated is just regular city water. So the coolant in the loop is entirely contained, shedding heat conductively to a heat exchanger. That heat is then dissipated into the atmosphere through the evaporation of the "external" water. Again, I'm no engineer, and this is all a guess.
When are they sending a review unit of the cooling tower to you?
This setup is very simple. I currently do this exact same work just Im not cooling server racks, im cooling supermarket refrigeration racks and high rise buildings. This video gives me some good ideas
Absolutely fantastic video, looking forward to a followup about workstation cooling!
Next: Living Underwater to keep everything Cool
Alright, fun to see, however after watching this video I have a weird alarm in Zabbix on my hosts, registering as a problem with "It was cold in the pool", thanks Wendell.
Wendel, your feet remind me of the green trees in western Texas.
Hi!
Could you share the cca. pricetag of this entire datacenter solution?
I'm really curious about this!
that is super cool to see. thanks wendell
Nice setup.
Heck yeah!!! This is awesome!!! ❤
This is really amazing. Thank you!!! (Just out of curiosity, do you get to take home one of those nifty cooling towers when you visit ! Hehehe)
Just what we need to cool a 14900KS.
Is there always a plumber on-site in case the bigger cooling lines fail?
Thank you
Putting water into the comms room on purpose 😱
Now that is how you do whole room cooling, LInus needs to take notes!
I wonder if they have a cooler that would fit in your home ductwork system? Home heating via computer!
The cooling tower would fit in my back yard.
Would love a deep dive on the no-drip hose connections.
ITS _MADNESS_
Wait. Pictures of Wendell outside ?!
Just need to add a couple of more pipes..... don't forget another building as large as an apartment complex that houses the cooling tower.
The waste heat should be used to provide district heating in the winter!
Would one of those Supermicro cooling towers be enough for a 14900KS, or would I need two?
The Hated One just made a video about how AI will create wars over water because of the need for fresh water in cooling data centers. Great timing with this video.
$17,000 for 1 x Xeon Platinum 8490H - TDP: 350 W - Building this for blogging or has your PERL L33T skills, reached a level where you intend on indexing the entire Internet?
Those tower waterpumps and fans eat some electricity aswell. 5kw on top of that 80kw
Who needs geothermal tech when you can just run a datacentre as it's own generator
What is the price of that one rack?
Holy cow!
haha. I love you comment about the unusually low entropy concentration.
Hi, do you know of any laptops with HDMI-IN? It is hard to find, because when manufacturers list I/O ports, they do not say it is only an input of this kind. Second, the Lenovo thinkcentre m90a pro has a thunderbolt 3 input functionality, so one can display the laptop on the thinkcentre and use one of the ssd inside. Also GPD Pocket 3 has a similar function, namely the KVM module, here display can be shown on the GPD pocket 3 and you can use the keyboard to control the other device, this is what I am searching for but in a bigger 14 inch size. So, I am trying to find this functionality in a laptop/desktop. Is there a way to get this? Does such hardware exist? (Some people recommend a capture card, but there must exist a simpler solution like GPD pocket 3. I do know that getting a display with KVM is also a solution, but I am in need of second OS which I can use for backup via WIFI). Also, just found Minisforum V3, could you take a look at that which has DP-in. Thanks in advance, kind regards.
buy a cam link.
you will get more rain down wind form the datacenter with a swamp cooler that big
You could extract the energy/heat for other purposes more easily this way!
Giant industrial radiators, wouldn't this be better in Alaska?
so is liquid cooling coming back into fashion?
Those hoses and fittings look so expensive. I like how they look tho.
I love this stuff. I wish you could have a look under the hood. Thank you.
70kw per rack? How the f….?
>Intel
Ah, makes sense 😂
I want to see Wendell sitting on a chopper.
All those copper pipes - a crackheads wet dream.
5MW cooling tower ought to be enough to power my AI Waifu ambitions, but I think i'll wait for the Blackfriday sales code to get 10% off. I mean I love her... but...
Show us over 100kW per rack stuff
Hey wendell, imagine the affiliate bucks from someone buying a super micro cooling tower rack from one of your links!
oh cool a cooler that might be able to cool a modern gaming pc :D
1.21 GW???? 😆
I don’t know super micro was near me in Silicon Valley bet if I could visit I would visit😂
These guys are selling a million dollar bong cooler.
I wondee if they have thought about using geothermal to cool the water ... ?
PG25, is propylene glycol @ 25% balance water
The engineer in me loves this. The planet inhabitant concerned by climate change is horrified! We are now at 1.7ºC above pre industrial levels. Can data centres really not find something better to do with all this heat than just dump it out into an already cooking planet? Build next to industries that need heat … e.g. ovens in food manufacturing …. Or district heating in cold regions? C’mon lots better ways to use this excess heat, and can charge them for the heat also, or even just give it away and have some good pr!
I'll take two.
3:37
'Sentient A.I. ..." ? None exist ,or will ever. 8m 36 s Wendell the faster the AI gets , the worse the weather modelling gets, fact.
The first rule of tech videos is never repeat yourself.
The second rule of tech videos is never repeat yourself.
The Nth rule…
Reddit: Is 1tb vram enough for 4k 144hz gaming?
Double it and give it to the next person
No RGB or can it run Crysis?
I sure hope Super Micro reuses that evaporation energy in some way
What do you mean? It's cooling the servers. It's the most efficient way to cool, provided you're in an area like a desert like they are. Even more efficient than refrigeration, because it's doing the same thing, but without a compressor. Do it on a large enough scale where the heat can create a natural upward draft, and you don't even need a fan (power plants). I suppose the most efficient form of cooling would be if you housed a server farm in a dam and used the head pressure of the water to force its way through everything, negating the need for a pump. Direct river or lake cooling...
@@timramich in other nations energy is expensive, you'd put this energy into a local network for heating pools and providing hot water.
@@edc1569 That makes no sense. Who's gonna have pools next to a data center? The hot water thing is bunk. Not hot enough for that, just lukewarm. Energy is only expensive because whackos think the earth is dying from carbon, so they artificially raise the prices to thwart usage. Really about control. Easier to control people living in third world conditions than it is when the masses actually have enough resources and actually own them. Steam is really the only efficient way to transport heat long ways like that. Servers are a long way off in terms of temperature to be able to do that.
Can't even make a video atop a roof without some rando walking through your shot!
7:30 A lot of well-off handicapped people working on that datacenter..
Buuut... can it cool 14900K ?
I'm so happy we have all this garbage straining the power grid so more companies can sell AI.
That's one big AIO.
Linus did it first.
Depressing they blow the heat away, give soemthing back to society, build some public pools and heat them.
thats impressive.i was finking why the pipes on the roof were black .black absorbs heat .silver or white reflects the sun .if you ware black on a hot day.you will be hot .and also why the return cold lines were not inslulated .. im thinking 8 bar water moving fast .it might help .this is very cool
I know nothing about thermo dynamic’s. I’m thinking about. Pipes warning up water on the return to the racks .
This is a test and show setup,I get it.
For kicks and giggles. Measure the pipe temperature at noon and midnight
R u a swamp cooled cpu salesman now?
Just build it all on Iceland and power it with geothermal, and send the excess heat down the same pipes as to not heat the environment. We dont wanna push hundreds of gigawatts into the ambient air.
The earth is just going to radiate that out anyway. It gets warmer as you go down, so the heat has to travel up and out. You can't pump heat into something that's warmer. I.e. if I stick my hand into a pot of boiling water, I'm not going to add any energy into that system. Evaporative cooling will at least contribute to cloud cover, lessening the supposed global warming.
What about the sun? That gives out a lot of heat, too!
I used to drive by that facility when I lived over there. Anyway, we can't even handle cell technology properly; what makes you think we'll handle AI properly? Cells are a dangerous distraction. I work with a lot of young people and they idolize the things. Virtual reality has merged into everyday life. We have a much bigger problem than what hardware we develop. You can't fix stupid, and there's lots of stupid out there.
Didn't yer big lad on the police motorbike take out the skinny guy in the police helicopter from that building?
air and liquid cooling combined? data center looking like water works building? oh gosh...where this world is going to...recipe for disaster :-/
They're using evaporative cooling. Not air cooling at all. It can achieve below ambient temperatures, especially in a nice dry place like a desert.
@@timramichby air cooling i mean the fans visible on the video for cooling the ram modules and other non high power components. also -70-80KW per rack...that's not eco friendly at all :D
@@stankobulanov8428 when the performance per watt is high enough that a single 80kW rack can replace 4x40kW racks with the same compute power, yes, it's eco-friendly.
Megawatts thousands of homes worth of electricity, yikes
5 megawatts is a small datacenter. The general public is unaware of how much electricity they are using. It’s already a problem and is only going to get worse.
5 megawatts is just a baby. Most people are blind to the fact that data centers are maxing out the power grids in many areas. No way to charge the EVs that are being forced on the masses. I’ve lost count of the areas where there is no more electricity for anything.
