Choose an architecture by following the complete heat path, its practical density range, facility dependencies, advantages, and operating trade-offs.
Use this section to decide
Where does this architecture remove heat, and where does that heat go next?
What must change in the server, rack, room, and heat-rejection plant?
Which density, retrofit, and operating conditions make the trade worthwhile?
Featured records first, then the section's own editorial order.
A metal plate sits directly on each processor, and liquid pumped through it carries the heat out of the rack.
