the local mine is in an old power generating station and makes all the juice they need, but they are using lake water for coolant and that can become problematical in the summertimePut them at the South Pole...................
If you want them to stay cold put them in my ex-wife’s bed. LOL
If the world wasn’t spying on every consumer and sneaking images to servers, we wouldn’t have this issue with heat and data.
Just laughable nonsense. Yes, I remember fondly the days when we opened the windows and let a simple refreshing spring breeze cool our IBM 360. Then we opened the windows in our offices to cool our Apple ][ computers.
Which reminds me with all the cyber hacks, heard a guy call for a “Cyber-force” on similar lines as the recent “Space force” as the newest military wing. Makes sense, Cyber warfare is already a huge global problem.

How hot do the Climate Change servers get?
How much energy is wasted on this “research”?
In the early 80’s my brother purchased a computer for Monsanto that needed a whole room with it’s own dedicated AC unit. He paid tens of thousands of dollars to set it up. In the mid 90’s he bought a laptop at radioshack that had more power than the Monsanto machine for $1200!
Cray-2 Supercomputers were liquid cooled.
In the photo above it would help with the cooling if they cleaned off all that dust!!
Ambient cooling isn’t that efficient. With targeted cooling of the processors, the room temp could probably go into the 90s without adversely affecting the other components. Do the chipsets generate much heat?
heat-sinks for everything !
