The Liquid-Cooled Future of Workstations and Servers
The past month has been quite busy here at EK, with loads of new products being launched, plenty of innovation, and RnD activities going on. The EK Fluid Works team hasn’t been sitting idle, either. We managed to send two of our top-tier series systems, Studio and Compute, out to TechPowerUp and Linus Tech Tips for reviews. To say they were not disappointed would be an understatement!?
The EK Water-Cooled Beast of a Server
If you want extreme machine learning performance and to experience frames per second rendering in programs such as RedShift while keeping your hardware cool no matter the workload, look no further than the EK Fluid Works X7000-RM.?
Meet EK Fluid Works Compute Series X7000-RM GPU server
Our newly-released rackmount liquid-cooled GPU server solution is tailor-made for high-compute density applications such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, rendering farms, and scientific compute applications.

Food for thought: NVIDIA Tensor H100 GPUs
As we wait for the next generation of x86 CPUs to actually support the new generation of NVIDIA Tensor Core Hopper AI accelerators, it is worth taking a step back to talk about how such a high thermal load of close to 700W will be cooled.??
Previous generations of such accelerators, namely the V100 and A100, were happily cooled with standard heatsinks. However, this type of cooling came at the cost of considerable noise, high power consumption for the cooling fans, and some efficiency loss due to higher operating temperatures.
The new H100 accelerators, with their massive power draw of 700W, will necessitate liquid cooling from the start (which can be observed from some renders of the new NVIDIA HGX). This will be a turning point for future data center development and current upgrade cycles, as it will force designers and builders to rethink how they build their facilities to accommodate the “latest and greatest” architectures.
Our FW S5000 is Highly Recommended!
”The custom loop quickly conquered the heat load with the AMD Ryzen?Threadripper 3990X, averaging 59°C under load, while the two NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards averaged 57°C and 58°C, respectively.”
Best Tool for the Job: 3D Modelling Workstations
Building your own 3D modeling workstations can be overwhelming, and doubly so if you want to ensure such powerful hardware is appropriately cooled. We took our time to make your life easier and prepared a series of blogs that detail how to pick the best components for the job. You can also check out our application-specific configurations from our EK Fluid Works Studio Series for a prebuilt liquid-cooled powerhouse.?

2 年1220W at load, 60C at GPU/CPU cores, and 51 dB. Dang, those are some serious numbers.
