Evidence
So 45C cooling is not entirely new. Even with this capability, most operators deploying Blackwell are still designing for 20-30C water temperatures. As a rough approximation, current Blackwell inlet temperatures are around room temperature, with outlet temperatures in the 40-50C range. Only a small number of operators, such as Firmus, have removed chillers from the loop (even with systems like GB200) in favor of highly optimized economizer designs where climate permits. Avoiding the compression step in mechanical cooling can deliver meaningful energy efficiency gains.
Context After
Now, how does Nvidia cool this heat monster, given that Vera Rubin’s power consumption and heat generation is roughly double that of Blackwell? Before answering, it is worth adding another consideration. Warmer inlet temperatures, while improving energy efficiency, can make cooling more challenging as inlet temperatures approach the maximum outlet temperature (the system’s ceiling temperature) and the delta-T tightens. With less temperature differential, you need higher water/coolant flow to remove the same amount of heat. In Blackwell reference architectures, the ceiling temperature is around 65C (e.g. see the Vertiv GB200 NVL72 reference design).
