Intel® Sapphire/Emerald Rapids LGA 4677 CPU Coldplate

DCX HYDRO direct-contact cold plate for Intel® Sapphire/Emerald Rapids processors with LGA 4677 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. Intel® Sapphire/Emerald Rapids 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 500W 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.

Overview

Introducing the DCX HYDRO direct-contact cold plate, a game-changer in data center cooling technology designed specifically for Intel® Sapphire/Emerald Rapids processors with LGA 4677 socket. As an integral component of any Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) system, this revolutionary cold plate stands out as the world’s first open cold plate solution. What sets it apart is its compatibility with virtually any server worldwide, thanks to its push-to-lock couplings, offering unparalleled flexibility and ease of installation.

The DCX HYDRO cold plate boasts exceptional performance, capable of transferring a minimum of 500W of heat from the CPU even under peak loads and overclocked conditions, all while utilizing warm water at ASHRAE W3/W4 inlet temperatures. This translates to improved CPU performance and efficiency, ensuring optimal operating conditions for critical processors.

With its unique design, the DCX HYDRO cold plate not only covers the CPU but can also be equipped with heat transfer bridges to effectively dissipate heat from VRMs, memory modules, and other vital server components. This comprehensive cooling solution enhances system reliability and longevity while maintaining compatibility with any platform and design.

Key specifics highlight its impressive heat removal capabilities, removing up to 80% of the server’s heat load, thus significantly reducing the strain on HVAC systems and mechanical cooling mechanisms. Moreover, its sustainability is underscored by its reliance on warm water instead of power-hungry chillers, resulting in substantial energy savings for data center operators.

The open system architecture of the DCX HYDRO cold plate enables easy integration into existing server configurations without voiding warranties, making it an ideal choice for retrofitting and upgrading operations. Its compatibility with every server, combined with push-to-lock quick disconnect fittings, simplifies the configuration of liquid cooling loops, allowing for dense compute deployments with ease.

Furthermore, the DCX HYDRO cold plate offers a lifespan of over 10 years, ensuring long-term reliability and investment protection for data center operators. Installation is hassle-free, akin to assembling an off-the-shelf kit, with comprehensive support provided by DCX throughout the transition to liquid cooling technology.

In summary, the DCX HYDRO direct-contact cold plate redefines data center cooling, offering unparalleled performance, sustainability, and flexibility. With its innovative features and robust design, it sets a new standard for efficient and reliable CPU cooling in today’s demanding data center environments.

System Build

Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors LGA 4677

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.

Steel cover to prevent contamination, with spill prevention components.
All-steel enclosure big enough to house up to 400kg of dielectric fluid and miners. Building block for the rack or scale-out container installations. Enables high-temperature mining for the best heat transfer parameters. No more plastic boxes that can crack, leak or melt anytime, no more problems with temperature limits, no more problems with grounding.
L shaped frames to mount external components – switchgear, monitoring systems or PSUs. Placement of PSU outside of the immersion bath requires more retrofitting for the miners, but enables even bigger density and higher temperature for better heat exchange.
