In 2010, Hardcore Computer adapted its liquid-cooling technology for PCs to the server environment. Liquid Blade immerses the blades in Hardcore's Core Coolant -- a clear dielectric fluid that is odorless and biodegradable. The submerged servers eliminate the need for rack-level fans, and would require only enough room air conditioning to keep staff comfortable. At the recent Data Center World expo in Orlando, Hardcore's Craig Drugge provided us with an overview of LiquidBlade and how it works.

  • This is probably difficult to do with the old, magnetic, spinning drives, but now that we have these SSDs, I wonder if it is now possible to immerse the whole system into the dielectric fluid. I think the case to test it on would be a big plastic pipe about six inch and resistant to chemicals, This would be a fun experiment, but not very practical for stand alone PC terminals.

  • Also you got to do the web cast.

  • Good job on the video, keep them coming, love to see more.

  • Are there public available di-electric cases available that a user can install a standard pc into?
