Nvidia Cuts Data Center Water Use: The Catch

Nvidia unveiled a warm-water cooling system that recirculates coolant in a closed loop, claiming up to 100% reduction in on-site data center water…

Nvidia just declared the data center water problem solved. The numbers say otherwise.

Nvidia announced a new warm-water cooling system it says can dramatically cut, and in favorable climates eliminate, the water a data center uses to cool its chips.

How the warm-water cooling actually works

The engineering here is clever, and worth understanding because it is the part Nvidia gets right.

Where the rest of AI's water actually goes

No data center runs without electricity, and that is where the box Nvidia drew starts to leak.

Why the fuel choice decides everything

This is the uncomfortable part of the story, and it is a choice tech companies are increasingly making rather than a constraint forced on them.
