DCX HYDRO direct-contact cold plate for AMD EPYC® SP3 processors with LGA 4094 socket. A critical element of every DLC system, this unique component is the world’s first open cold plate. Open means – this module, equipped with push-to-lock couplings, is compatible with virtually every server worldwide. AMD EPYC® GENOA SP3 module features push-to-lock quick disconnect fittings, leak-proof tubing, and heat transfer bridges. That enables users to customize their cooling loop with ease, instead of being forced to buy a custom cooling loop for each server and rack. This cold plate delivers a minimum of 300W of heat transfer from the CPU at ASHRAE W3/W4 warm water inlet temperature, keeping peak, overclocked processors at the best temperature possible. DCX HYDRO coldplates cover CPUs but may be also equipped with heat transfer bridges connected on both sides which can transfer heat from VRMs, memory, and other server components. DCX HYDRO cold plate means complete safety, flexibility, long DLC system lifespan, and compatibility with any platform and design.

System Build
AMD EPYC® SP3 LGA 4094 Coldplate
DCX HYDRO coldplates are OPEN, which means you can order direct chip cooling components in the same way as server hard drives or expansion cards, and configure your own DLC loop. DCX provides CPU & GPU coldplates equipped with quick disconnect fittings, special tubing, manifolds, and CDUs. This way datacenter operators are not forced to order custom proprietary loops and can reuse DCX Coldplates in different servers having the same CPU socket. DCX HYDRO system means flexibility, long lifetime, better efficiency of your server, and total compatibility with any platform and design.
