It's pretty interesting what you can do with immersion cooling. I work
with it at $DAYJOB. Similar to air cooling, but your coolant flow rates
are much lower than air, and you don't need any fans in the systems--The
pumps take the place of those.
We save a lot of money on the cooling side, since we don't need to
compress and expand gases/liquids. We can run with warmish (25-30C)
water from cooling towers, and still keep the systems at a target
temperature of 35C.
