Rising chip temperatures and increasingly dense AI workloads are transforming the way data centers manage heat. As liquid cooling becomes more prevalent, operators face growing decisions around efficiency, water usage, climate suitability, and the long-term viability of different heat rejection technologies.

In this whitepaper, Vertiv explores how evolving chip temperatures are reshaping cooling strategies, introducing a scenario-based framework to help operators select the most appropriate heat rejection approach for their environment.
