Why the Cold Plate Is the Most Critical Single Point of Failure in Liquid-Cooled Data Centers

As AI workloads drive explosive growth in data center liquid cooling, cold plates have become a critical component in today’s high-performance servers. Mounted directly on GPUs and CPUs, they are in direct contact with the chips they are designed to cool.

But what happens if a cold plate leaks? A leak can cause overheating, and escaping liquid can damage valuable hardware or potentially bring an entire server or rack offline. Ensuring the tightness of every cold plate is therefore essential. Download our free whitepaper to discover the tightness requirements cold plates must meet and how these requirements can be reliably verified in production.

In this whitepaper, you will learn among other things:

• The role of the cold plate in single-phase direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling and the leakage requirements it must meet
• Why the vacuum leak test is the only sensible method for verifying cold plate tightness, and how the test procedure works
• Why two-phase D2C cooling raises the leak-tightness bar even further, and what that means for your test strategy
