A team describes deploying custom closed-loop liquid cooling (CLC) for racks of Intel Core i9-9900K desktop CPUs after air cooling failed in 1U server cases. They explain the overheating problem in dense 1U deployments, why enlarging chassis was unacceptable, and how they implemented liquid cooling on desktop processors to keep server density and reliability.
